Abuse of Power

Tell me something are we not all humans? I ask this question because I have recently had a run in with local law officials in my state which is Connecticut. From the moment I had contact with them I was presumed guilty. Yes I was driving without a seat belt but what came next is down right appalling. The officers checked my ID and returned to inform me that there was a warrant for me in a nearby town. To make a long story short this police department had been looking for an associate of mine for over four years unsuccessfully. Well someone at the Shelton Police Department can up with the bright idea of arresting the friends and associates of the fugitive in an attempt to squeeze information about the whereabouts of this individual. Low and behold I became a victim of what I call an abuse of authority. I was detained without clean water and a phone call. They charged me with conspiracy and placed a $25,000 bond. My only crime was that I knew this guy and I communicated with him pretty regularly. The detective out right said "We have no problem with you but we are interested in you friend and if you tell us where he is them all this will go away." my immediate reaction was I know you are not interested in me cause I committed no crime. Anyway I was arraigned and my bond was reduced to $1500. Now as a result my job is in jeopardy, car towed and I will have lawyer expenses all because of what I will call a gross abuse of power. First of all I was not aware of any criminal activity of this person, secondly I didn't know his whereabouts, and If I did I would not have told them anyway. We are all humans and should be treated as such. In my opinion they could have come to me as adults and to seek my assistance there is a good chance that I could have approached my friend to discuss ways of working this out like turning himself in and going through the customary process. That would have been a win win situation for all involved. Now my life is in torment because a few over zealous detectives either don't know how to do their job or just don't give a damn about destroying innocent peoples live as an end to their means. This country is going to hell in a hand basket, and something needs to be done about it. Not all police lead by bad example but my experience say's Don't Trust None of Them Bastards.
