The police tactics seem somewhat unfair - playie footsie is hardly illegal. If they catch two guys in a stall it is one thing but hardly seems fair to charge someone for making goo goo eyes and playing footsie.
Agreed, it’s totally inappropriate to arrest a person for nothing more than foot tapping. I don’t care what it signals to the cop, an idiot (the standard for idiot being, someone who’d plead guilty and quit the Senate if he thinks he’s innocent) might just have tapped his foot to act silly, or because he was tipsy, or for some other reason he didn’t want to admit at the time. One shouldn’t make an arrest over it, much less surrender a career.
But Craig had the choices and if he is truly innocent he is abysmally stupid and/or cowardly.
If he’d just said “see you in court” they would most likely have dropped all charges.
