I wonder if the owner of that Challenger is going to persue a suit. If it was just a mistaken identity at first okay but the officer didn't even want to see the evidence. If Mr. Sarge hadn't persisted and gotten this story out who knows how bad that guys life would have been ruined. It also seems like he spent the whole time in jail. How long between Mr. Sarge saying he has video proof and the guys actual release went by. Imagine if he got assaulted in prison or worse. Lots of scary stuff comes to mind of what might have happened if not for Mr. Sarge. You might literally have saved that dudes life Mr. Sarge. You are a hero  |
This!
Two things that really piss me off about what happened.
First, the police officer arrested the poor guy with no degree of certainty. It's a completely different model/year Challenger and even has different colored rims.
Obviously he didn't get a good look at the one that got away. "Screw it! I'm mad and you're driving a dark colored Challenger, so you'll do."
Second, when offered evidence that was told to him exonerates the guy he arrested, he refused to see it. He made a
conscious decision that he would rather obliterate an innocent man's life than own up to a mistake.
Those are the important issues at hand and none of the news stories I've seen are focusing on them.
