100% agreed. That officer should no longer have a job after this. Or a house. Or a car. Or any assets whatsoever.
If it were me, I’d use some of the settlement to take the wife on a cruise (and also make her sit through a concealed-carry class so she knows at the least what not to say to a suspicious cop). Then I’d use most of the remainder to supplement my gun collection. And then I’d never drive through or enter the state of Maryland again.
“And then I’d never drive through or enter the state of Maryland again.”
There are a number of states that are worse than California and Maryland is one of them. It might well be the worst, but then there’s New Jersey, the nation’s toilet of corruption and Illinois and New York, but unlike New Jersey, Illinois and New York only have major “pockets” of corruption, whereas in NJ, it’s pretty much the whole state.
