I've never questioned America's legal system until I was tossed in the back of a cop car last Tuesday, Election Day. I wasn't arrested, merely "detained," but it sure felt like I was arrested. There weren't any handcuffs, but I was stripped of my telephone, camera and identification. At least the cops I rode with were friendly, and the back of the car was recently cleaned out. I presented my case before Judge Joseph Dych of the Court of Common Pleas and was released. Only then did my adrenaline go down to levels that enabled me to comprehend what had just happened.
