Thank you.

I want to know how the courts & cops are dealing with this issue.
Once again, not about 50 over charges per say.

All we have to discuss right now are speculations, with a few cases that have been delayed to add into the mix. No need to get up in arms over an issue that isn't.

Definitely, I'm discussing the case, officers notes, officers conduct, etc with my lawyer tomorrow to prepare my complaint.

Once I have his opinion on if/when & how much of my ridiculous ordeal to release to the public I'll let you guys know.

Good idea on consulting the attorney first. You don't want to leave yourself open to a potential slander/libel suit. Say only what you can objectively prove.
