6. Then this probably won't help

This was posted yesterday but you may have missed it.

Felony charges have been dropped against a Florida woman after a cellphone tape of her arrest sharply contradicted two police officers' version of events, The Miami Herald reports.

<...>

"The newspaper says prosecutors are now investigating whether the officers filed false documents relating to the encounter.

None of this would be questioned, The Herald says, if the 60-year-old driver, Susan Mait, hadn't dropped her phone on the floor of her SUV when cops yanked her from the vehicle. She was on the phone at the time with a Geico service rep who, per company policy, was recording the conversation.

The audiotape depicts a starkly different scene from what officers Nicole Stasnek and Derek Fernandes declared in their official reports and told the court under oath.
