The Louisville PD is breathing a HUGE sigh of relief today. Someone not as nice, and as rich, as Scottie could have gotten a lot of money out of this.
***Scottie Scheffler Arrest Thread***

The incident was a big misunderstanding. No big deal.
EXCEPT that the cops initially charged him with a felony and lied and/or greatly exaggerated in the official police report to justify the charges. That should be the story here. Someone without Scottie’s money, eyewitnesses, and media attention probably gets convicted of this and has to deal with a felony on their record for the rest of their lives. Police accountability, or lack thereof, is the issue here.

I doubt anyone would have ever been convicted of this but it would have cost a common joe thousands of dollars in attorney fees and countless hours in court before the charges were dropped after many months or years.
Yeah, anyone who has worked at a large event doing traffic\parking (or on the other end has been involved with people needing to get in to special access areas) knows a lot of the people there as 'security' are just there to be warm bodies. The police should, in general, be more advanced in the heirarchy of things and be more rapidly informed.
It would be an easy assumption to make on an event participant's part, especially a VIP, that the first cop knew where he was supposed to go and the 'security guard' was ill-informed and the guard gets ignored. (under the theory security can go get the police who will tell them what's up)
And potentially a job depending on their vocation. But agree the most likely scenario for an average joe is dropped felony charges and a ticket with a fine plus the legal fees.
Could they have though? I think the cop screwed up and completely overreacted. But doesn't there have to be some "damages" for their to be a legit lawsuit? I don't Scottie or his reputation will be hurt by this. If anything, he's probably more well liked now.
If nothing else there's reputational damage to someone incurred by arresting them publicly, and charging them with a bogus felony, and seems like a good amount of defamation going on in that police report that was full of lies.
And when high level athletes are (like most celebrities) brands unto themselves, that reputational damage does have a significant financial value.
Scottie told the cop with the holdup in traffic he was running late to arrive for his tee time. Kind of an important detail and Scottie is driving an Official Vehicle with markings signifying he is a PGA golfer.
At some point we need cops with discretion and good judgement as well as not showing excessive anger and aggression. This cop’s history shows the problem really wasn’t Scottie. It was the cop with a really long record of bad behavior and poor policing.
Your wife is in labor and you have the worst diarrhea of your life.
I keep seeing this line as well. What’s the deal with the fantasy about cops “chewing ass”? How about they just talk like adults?
Oh the cops don’t give a ****, taxpayers pay the lawsuits.

Lots of cops power trip. Like a lot. They also have a huge advantage cause they're writing the report. Many will hide details or add things to cover their own ass.

Yeah, because carjackers, murderers, and cop impersonators usually will pick congested golf tournament traffic and a heavy legit police presence to pick thier victims.Not always a good time to stop for the "law".
