Joel Rosenberg

I can imagine the ribbing in the police locker room: “Man, Bill, that Joel Rosenberg guy really punked you. He schooled you on the law on video, then got the county to start investigating you for assault, and rubbed it in across the internet. I wish I'd been there, I'd have…” followed by one of those fantasies that are so easy to come up with five minutes after the event is over, involving false arrest and probably unlawful force.

Sergeant William Palmer, not feeling very alpha, takes it in silence—he's not going to tell these guys that he didn't arrest Rosenberg at the scene because, dagnabbit, he thought Joel was probably right about the law—but he fumes and wonders.The teasing continues, aided by Rosenberg's unremitting use of social media to twit Palmer, until finally Palmer decides to get back at Rosenberg, and swears out an arrest warrant (PDF).
