Remember the allegations that Ben Cannon, founder of the unsurprisingly-gun-friendly GunPal, impersonated a police officer and pulled over some random-arsed woman?
Turns out, not so much:
Ben Cannon: case dismissed.
And after that, the court clerk turns to Ben & lawyers and said, “I guess I’ll be seeing you in civil court.”
Ben: “No, you won’t. We’ll be in US District Court.”
Evidence clearly showed Ben could not have been in the place where he was alleged to have been – he was in Sacto, cellphone tech positioning evidence subpoenaed, plus multiple witnesses.
The comment about the US District Court means that one of my wishes is probably going to come true – specious criminal charges can carry federal punishments, and it is looking like Mr. Cannon is going to follow through on my idea of prosecuting the woman making the charges to the fullest extent of the law (you can contact me later to thank me for the idea, Ben).
All is well that ends well, and while these circumstances have not yet ended perfectly, it looks like they are well on their way. Works for me.
