Man Awarded $8,500 After Being Arrested for Asking to See Cop's ID
A college student who was stopped by a Police Officer was ARRESTED after asking to see the Police Officer's ID! WTF? Seems like a perfectly reasonable request to me...

Luckily, he'll get paid.

That payment should be deducted from the police budget by the city of Denver. Maybe then the departments will start weeding out those recalcitrant police from their ranks.

From the article:
ACLU attorney Taylor Pendergrass says Evan Herzoff filmed the arrest of an individual April 8 of last year when Officer Jeffrey Morgan asked him for his ID. He was told he was free to go and that's when Herzoff asked Morgan for his business card.

Herzoff was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, handcuffed and jailed.
It sounds like the officer was hassling the guy for filming him with a pointless request. (There is no mandate that we have to have ID in the first place.)
And then when Herzoff asked for something that he had every right to request, he was arrested on a bullsh!t charge.

"suspicion of trespassing"???

And they should have released what this cop's disciplinary action was...
