How to fill in a student loan form: [BDSM-LegalIssues] Arrested, ALL charges dismissed, career ruined WAS: You did, didn't you, say the following, 'tongue in cheek', RIGHT?

Lochai and *ALL*,

Granted 83% of my 'info' is from TV coverage of this Louisville, KY
arrest with the balance from the Lexington, KY Lexington Herald Leader
paper, so please if something is not accurate, it is NOT careless NOR
intentional.

A Catholic High School principal was, according to Louisville police
'acting suspiciously' in an area prostitutes were known to frequent.
Before the office car cam video was released we only had written
description of the blouse, ?vinyl? hot pants, net stockings, wig, and
makeup this principle was wearing. I did NOT log the date, but it was
around or shortly after Halloween.

I suspect most who read this figured out 'the rest of the story' (as
Paul Harvey would taut). The principal is a male. Of course he was
suspended even though he had a 25? year stellar teaching -
administrative career.which was OVER long before the prosecutor dropped
all charges, apparently there was no / insufficient evidence of any
actual wrong doing - violation of Louisville - Jefferson County laws -
ordinances.

Apparently the principal was not prudent - discreet, but he *did not*
commit a crime. Dennis (& others if any) can repeat your assertion,
"An arrest IS evidence of wrongdoing", but no matter how you word it,
the 'suspicion' of wrongdoing was insufficient,
groundless, not substantiated, or just plain *WRONG!* Am I blaming the
police for his losing his job and career? Well, they, at minimum, are
partially responsible, especially once he / they decided the proper
course was to arrest - charge! Sure he put himself at 'risk' given his
choices. I am not absolving him of all responsibility!

I have no issue / problem with the officer(s) checking out the car and
it's occupant to ascertain if a crime was in progress etc. If I
remember correctly the asserted 'offense', grounds for arrest, was
loitering? If Dennis considers the officer's suspicion, loitering, as
'evidence', heaven help we citizens! A suspicion / an investigation,
sure, FINE, but 'evidence' no way. I (based on my law enforcement
training MANY many years ago) would possibly have contacted / consulted
with my supervising officer before cautioning / warning this individual
about loitering, instructed him to leave the area, logged the vehicle
check and returned to my patrol duties.

This is or at least used to be a country where everyone was innocent
until PROVEN guilty and the trial require evidence to establish guilt.
Circumstantial evidence is a sticky wicket but, a suspicion / hunch /
educated guess / being observant etc. makes for good law enforcement,
many good arrests, some of which get plead / bargained down/out, others
dismissed, and guilty pleas or findings of guilt (based on beyond any
reasonable doubt).

Be well and be *SAFE!*
