An officer pulled up behind the man’s car, blo

the man’s Social Security number and
identification. Without any cause, t

the man out of his car for a pat

down, alth

man was armed. The
officer also asked to search the man’s car.
T
he man objected
, c

constitutional rights

arrested the man
, reportedly
at gunpoint, charging
him
with eight

of Ferguson’s municipal code

WELL NO shite! The feds think the routine response to missed court appearances and required fine payments should be absolutely nothing.
