He was in the wrong & an idiot,
just give the LEO your license & reg. proof of ins.
he was pulled over for a legit reason, 40mph in a 30mph zone (50 in a 40)
after that he wouldn't comply after repeated asked to do so...
anything else is just plain spin
he wasn't going to be arrested, he brought that all on himself
such an idiot, no sovereignty at all, stupidity & just a bad decision on his part
I'm sure he was given his rights, to not speak after the arrest I'm sure too...
It could have been just an easy traffic ticket,
he was wrong to completely repeatedly refuse the LEO
attempts to get his information, he may have just got a warning,
who knows...
A lawyer with any brains would tell him to just plead "no contest"...
Take his punishments, he's earned it certainly...
He should have the proverbial book thrown at him IMO
