something about the headline “Sen Barron gets off again,” just doesn’t sound good this early in the morning.
seems like you missed Segall making Red-to-Blue. That’s been on the advertiser website and in the paper.
Like it or not, Barron did not “get off”. I would not have stopped either. It was late at night, unmarked motorcycle, he said vs he said. Sounds to me like the guy was a Barney Phyffe. If he was still a police office, he should have had identification, a citation book, and a “FLASHING BLUE LIGHT”. Don’t blame Barron one bit. If the guy wants to be a motocycle cop, then get the proper equipment.
Apparently the “officer” who wrote the ticket was not employed by any law enforcement agency at the time.
This one of those cases where I think we will never get the real story.
