Reply to comment by LeeOblivious in Man sues highway patrol, says arrest was unlawfully based on expunged marijuana charge. by LeeOblivious

In the nc case it ruled that a “reasonable” misinterpretation wasn’t a violation of rights. There were multiple wordings regarding lights on cars and he mistook one statute for another. It doesn’t say cops don’t have to know the law and can do whatever they want. Literally no court case said cops don’t have to know the law and get a free pass

Reply to Anyone know a Typewriter Service company or Person in the area? by Large-Negotiation-47

I did a bit googling. This guys blog from Springfield apparently repairs typewriters, http://ibmselectric.blogspot.com/2019/07/springfield-mo-typewriter-repair.html

And as weird as it sounds you might talk to some sewing shops with in store repair guys. When I worked at one the repair guy was actually a retired machinist who could fix just about anything. Speaking of which some machinists shops might be good to call. Good Luck!

You’re misunderstanding. Yes, he was screwed because cops are bullies so they’re going to bully him if given the chance, especially if they think they can get away with it. They probably will in the end still. Qualified immunity and all that.

I was saying, that the comment replying to the OP is still correct in the general that this is a a lesson on why you STFU if cops talk with you. Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.

Here’s the 5th and 6th paragraph

“Cunningham says he explained that to the trooper and produced an official copy of the expungement and said the bottom of the record that showed his conviction should end with the word "closed."

The trooper "advised she was aware of the expungement statute and its implications, but that she could not accept the certified copy of the expungement order because it could be a fake," court records say.”
