Hitting the fan in Fairview
[QUOTE=Jeepster1;2783440]Metro Police arrested the Fairview officer at 97 Wallace Road, the Americas Best Value Inn- Nashville / Airport South.
This has been previously noted to be a hot location. Metro was apprehending a lady there when the unlucky officer happened to call for an appointment.

Human trafficking bust was a lie
Remember the big ex trafficking scandal that made all the news in Nashville many years ago? Seems after 4 years and $10 million it turns out it was all a big lie.
I wonder how many laws were created because of that event.

Uncle LEO?? You got some 'splainin to do
Not hobby-related, not local, but a prime example of enforcement gone mad, just because somebody didn't take the time to figure out why they Shouldn't arrest this guy?
Perhaps the more legally-minded here can explain how the statute of limitations applies in this instance?

(Of course, the legislators in NC just had a special session to halt the felonious intent of Trans citizens to use their bathrooms of choice. So at least for one day, another state's government looks more disfunctional than Tennessee's).
