Obviously I've been fully team Scheff in this thread


I'm not on team Scheff. I think he probably ignorantly escalated the situation himself beyond what should have been done. As someone said, a traffic violation is fine here.

But to cuff him and take mugshots? Ridiculous.

Honestly I think even a traffic violation is a reach considering the account of the reporter documenting it all and the claim that another, perhaps more identifiable cop was waving him through.

But yeah, it's obviously the PD thought the options were a) immediately course correct and risk looking like there are two sets of rules, probably based on the flawed account of some aggrieved officer, and b) double down, send the non-injured cop to the ER as cover and overcharge the #1 golfer in the world with felonies, and just hope everyone ignores that he's by most accounts really nice, law abiding and boring.

LPD took option "b", so let's see how it works out for them.

The fact that they put him in a jumpsuit and took a mugshot tells me they knew exactly what they were doing and wanted to make a statement that nobody is above the law. Why the jumpsuit? They knew he wouldn’t be staying overnight. So in my mind they deserve all the blowback that comes.
