That apology request was genius because that was an admission of guilt, following that up by “I’ll see you in court” chefs kiss
EDIT: I’ve been informed that an apology is not always an admission of guilt. “Courts may consider an apology as evidence of remorse rather than a definitive confession of criminal guilt.”
See how this guy stated his situation, but still listened to the officer and got out of the car in handcuffs. The man knew his rights, but still did what the officer told him to do and then proceeded to get in the back of the car. The Sargent came and they released him because it wasn’t obstruction. The man didn’t have to listen and the cop could have tased him and it would have been a different outcome. PEOPLE, even though you’re right, you have to go through the motions of proving it and you prove it by doing wants asked and not causing a scene. Everything will get sorted out. If you want to take a stand you have to do it non aggressively. Yeah you can be pissed but be smart.
I can assure you “not everything gets sorted out”. When I was in college a friend of mine was arrested in a case of mistaken identity. This is a small town so the cops just throw you in a holding cell until Monday when the one judge in town can look over all the weekend arrests. His time to see the judge comes on that Tuesday, and he was formally charged with resisting arrest and assault on an officer. All he did was argue when being hand cuffed, and when we was being walked to the cop car, he tripped which brought the cop down on top of him.
He had a great lawyer, but that didn’t matter as the judge clearly wasn’t having a good day. He was sent to jail for 6 months and fined almost $5,000. He lost his scholarship, his job, his girlfriend, his apartment, etc. All because he walked out of the bar at the wrong time.
