25. One of my children was treated very badly by cops on the night of her 17th birthday
Tue Jun 9, 2015, 07:34 PM
Jun 2015

Actually had a fake drug charge that wound up on her record without her ever being charged, arraigned, going to court, convicted, sentenced or even knowing about it. It would have ruined her life if she hadn't happened to marry the son of high ranking officer in the local police who launched an investigation after she was denied a concealed carry permit. Even with her father in law pulling every string and a high powered lawyer it took quite some time to get the completely fake charge dismissed.

It's a sore point with me due to personal experience, I wrote about it here in 2009.
