No, but the implications seem obvious to me. The person had a suspended license, and maybe there are other factors involved with him being stopped that were not mentioned, but according to the law that the officers were bound to, a summons was the appropriate action. Instead they detained him, arrested him and searched his car and found the drugs. Didn't they state the reason was "Our perogitive" or something like that?
I am not a criminal, but I am one of those people who get pissed about things like this on principal alone. Police should follow the law like everyone else. The law said give a summons.
In the thread about the smoking ban, someone said that they could not believe they served their country to protect freedom, just to have their freedom of choice taken away by the government. Well, the government did not take away their choice, people excersised their freedom by voting, so the freedom he served to protect was on glorious display. This is a democracy, and that democracy is what passed the smoking ban.
