Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Liar. If you remember the name but forget why:

Try to imagine the shock of it: You’re walking along without a care in the world when suddenly, for no reason at all, a motorcycle cop roars up, hops off his bike, grabs you and slaps you in handcuffs, shoves you against a wall, and then writes you a ticket for something you didn’t do. And in a final gesture of contemptuous insult, he tosses your driver’s license in the gutter before making you sign the ticket. It must have been a harrowing experience.

Or it would have been, if it had actually happened.

...

This tale of oppression prompted someone in the LAPD to look into the matter and determine if a complaint had been filed. And yes, it was discovered that Rall had indeed written a letter to protest his abuse, which was assigned to a sergeant for investigation. The results of that investigation have come back to haunt Rall, prompting the editors at the Times to drop him from the paper.

Kind of sad when your desire to become a talked about news item blows up in your face. And you are reduced to being a conspiracy theorist.
