My friends brother recently got obtained by the police for allegedly holding up a gas station. He was walking home really late at night night and the cops informed him that the gas station that he had passed on his route had been robbed. Since he was the only one remotely in the area the cops booked him without really questioning him. He sat in jail for 6 months awaiting trial, finally when his court date came around the DA offered him "time served plus 2 years probation " which he denied because of his innocence. He was a quited of all charges and set free a couple weeks ago. Now he is suing orange county because not only did he sit in jail for 6 months but the the police and the DA both refused to look at the video tapes from the gas station because "they didn't have time". So basically he was booked under assumption not facts. I have no faith in our law enforcement or our judicial system. Just imagine sitting in a cell rotting under false pretenses.

Yes, I can imagine it! Obviously these other people have never suffered abuse by police. I hope he wins. Every day we hear more and more of these stories of idiots with a badge and gun. The ones with money earn law degrees!
