That's insane, but I find the best way to deal with a--holes like that is "yes sir, no sir".
Good luck fighting it, I'd love to see the guy punished as he should be.
My dad took a cop to court and won but the prick reported him to DMV as unable to operate a vehicle. They suspended his license so he had to take the test like he was 16. Then his insurance went up because of the sob who thought he was driving to slow.
Alot of good people do the job but I've learned that they protect their own, even the bad ones.
