which, in this case, was proven to be completely false and made up. I believe the cop in question was fired and Randy was completely exonerated, although by that time the damage had been done.

He shoulda been reinstated in the FAA. Smells like someone didnt want to play ball in washington.

Not quite.

A very good lawyer got the stop invalidated on probable cause grounds.

Not "completely false and made up" by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh really Ableone? Its really easy to get on here and never rely on any facts.

Exhibit A for the defense was the dashcam video of the "violation" plus the traffic stop and sobriety testand the judge IMMEDIATELY threw it out. Hardly a good lawyer move.......

Next time save your opinion......

But it was telling that RB resigned immediately after being charged.

You actually think he has a medical? When was the last time he was in an airplane other than being a PAX?
