I got lucky in the 90's. Ended up in holding for a few hours. Officers escalated a fairly benign scenario into me getting roughed up.

They delayed court many times, while trying to make their poor case worse.

I took it to trial, won, and those officers were gone.

Things are way worse now. Be careful.

The attorney I had filled me in. The prosecution presented escalation of force to compliance at my trial.

Not doing what they say can escalate to death. The initial event can be ANYTHING.
