Let's See Some ID
Evan Herzoff was videotaping Denver police arresting someone when a cop asked for his ID. Herzoff produced his ID and asked Officer Jeffrey Morgan for his business card. "Let's take you to jail instead," Morgan responded. Police handcuffed Herzoff and took him to jail, where he spent the night. A charge of trespass against Herzoff was later dismissed, and the city paid him $8,500 to settle a lawsuit.
