The Department of Justice found themselves another jail to probe following the gruesome death of a Black inmate. The victim’s family says his body was found riddled with rat bites in his solitary confinement cell.

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.
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.
