Why are we jailing someone for traffic offenses in the first place? Unless this was something like vehicular homicide or DUI, he shouldn’t have been incarcerated at all.
Couldn’t post bail

Not for lack of trying.
That said,
Yeah I’m not surprised that they’d arrest him. He’d already had his license suspended for something, and continued to drive, apparently in a reckless manner. Apparently this guy was dangerous on the road, and didn’t respect the non-arrest consequence, so jail it is. Still, that doesn’t mean he deserves a shitty jail cell, let alone solitary confinement or death, especially not a torturous death by dehydration and rat bites.
Wtf is a blue light??
Police car.
They should just… say that.
Ah
The blue light charge was probably fake. I got hit with running a police barricade once for not seeing a knocked over traffic cone. Went to traffic court and fought it. They eventually made it a 20 dollar failure to yield no points.
We keep thinking the law is this scared thing and it is really just a question of cost and benefit. The city decided fighting me wasn’t worth the amount extracted.
