One the ACLU got right. A lot of police seem to think that they are little tin Gods:
"A University of Denver student who spent the night in jail will get $8,500 under a settlement announced this week by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado. Officers will also be trained that it's OK for citizens to ask officers for their ID.
ACLU attorney Taylor Pendergrass says Evan Herzoff filmed the arrest of an individual April 8 of last year when Officer Jeffrey Morgan asked him for his ID. He was told he was free to go and that's when Herzoff asked Morgan for his business card.
Herzoff was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, handcuffed and jailed. The charge was later dropped and police launched an internal investigation following a complaint. An independent police monitor says the officer was disciplined but couldn't release details
