The guy got what he deserved and the court system wimped out by paying him.
So, every jackhole who breaks the law and harasses law enforcement should be allowed to do so?
Why is the cop the bad guy? The guy being pulled over was completely out-of-line. He has watched one too many cops shows if he thinks the cop was obligated to read him his rights. The cop was not questioning him.
So what if his family was in the car, not the cops problem, the guy being pulled over should have been more considerate of his family instead of making an spectacle.
Take no personal responsibility seems to be prevailing sentiment.
