Police make up charges, record themselves unwittingly

[True Dough]

And this is how some crooked cops operate. The "perpetrator" was protesting at a DUI checkpoint, not something I would encourage, but he was peaceful. The charges are concocted from nothing valid at all.

The ACLU of Connecticut is suing state police for fabricating retaliatory criminal charges against a protester after troopers were recorded discussing how to trump up charges against him. In what seems like an unlikely stroke of cosmic karma, the recording came about after a camera belonging to the protester, Michael Picard, was illegally seized by a trooper who didn’t know that it was recording and carried it back to his patrol car, where it then captured the troopers’ plotting.

“Let’s give him something,” one trooper declared. Another suggested, “we can hit him with creating a public disturbance.” “Gotta cover our ass,” remarked a third.
