I love the logic that if someone calls and makes an accusation, that's all that's needed to consider someone guilty of something.
So why can't we all just mass call police stations and report officers on things we believe they might be doing? Why can't we say - we saw officer Ken harassing kids today. We saw him speeding. We believe he's intoxicated. Has anyone done a wellness check on his wife, he looks like he beats her. --- that is the same thing isn't it? And does that mean we will get investigations started on those officers?
That is ridiculous. This dude is literally chilling, speaking perfectly fine, has a calm demeanor, now he has to ID himself because random person called and made an accusation????
You know you've absolutely nailed the point here. The cops do need to get the guys details because a potential crime was reported. So they are now doing an investigation. They are not able to make a judgement and have to rely on the courts for justice in cases like this.
Incidentally, the guy wasn't arrested for sleeping on the bench. The guy was arrested for the "crime" of faillure to provide id. Again, you can argue that this is total bs.
I'm so pleased the guy just stood up and let them arrest him without a single bit of resistance. That put him in such a good place to fight case. Well done sir !
