17. You don't get taken in and fingerprinted unless your actually charged with something

And then they don't drop the charges because your mom calls and raises hell.

Among some people it's quite fashionable these days to claim police misconduct or abuse where none exists, because it's the hot topic of the day and gets you attention. Since this little account is short on facts and presents a timeline that makes no sense that's how it reads to me.

If they gave a town we could fact check and look for the police report. But conveniently they don't. A bad PD should be called out by name....
