However, I'm not sure of the Dr. Gates' age. In some departments age comes into consideration on how suspects are transported.

He is 58.

So if he was nonthreatening enough to cuff in the front (due to age, the situation had calmed enough to avoid a struggle, or because he has a cane), why is he being arrested? LOL.

Hmmm maybe they thought it was a loaded cane.


With all the talk of speeding, I thought about my friend who lives in Orlando in Windermere. The speed limit is 35. She has gotten THREE tickets for driving 36 in a 35 zone. The cops around here are pretty flexible. They don't really bother you unless you are going maybe 10 miles over the speed limit.
