Here is what happened to my 16 year old friend today.
1. Got pulled over for going 27 in a 25 mph area, got a ticket.
2. He was asked to step out of the vehicle (w/o stating a reason why), got hand cuffed and put in the back seat of the police car (right next to a dog).
3. Police officer searched the car w/o permission. (of course nothing was found)
4. Got back into police car and told him that he could not drive back home. When my fried asked why, police officer simply said that "because you are a speeder!". Police officer took my friend back home (left his car in the parking lot), so he had to walk back to get his car.
5. Let me also mention the fact that my friend had every document on him: insurance, driver's licence, registration, even a certificate that he passed his driver's exam!!!!!!.
I told him that he should file a complaint and he is going to follow my advise. But...who is the judge going to belive? A police officer (lets say with a clean record and no previous history of complaints), or a 16 year old teenager???
If that police officer does it now and gets away with it, he/she will keep on doing that to other innocent people.
Can you please tell me exactly what that police officer did wrong? There is only 10 days to appear in court, so we need to file charges against that police officer before then.
PLEASE HELP!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START!!!!
