As a matter of fact a week ago a street near my home, which is a major access point, was completely blocked by one fire truck and everyone had to turn around and go about a half possibly a mile out of their way for a simple car wreck! This cop IMO overstepped his authority it&#8217;s not like the firefighter was screwing around he was assisting with the rescue of car wreck victims!<\/p>\n<p>The only way the police are going to stop this abuse of power is for people to start filing lawsuits. Granted this firefighter was later released if it was me I would be looking into filing charges for something; false imprisonment, malicious prosecution (although that&#8217;s reaching). You just can&#8217;t let these thing go anymore through a meeting and a handshake. Not taking legal action sets a precedent that it is okay for the next guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This just goes to show you the stormtroopers will flex their muscle against anyone who gives them a hard time.
