Reno Police officer R. Jager, described in the filings as a rookie officer, arrived on scene and reviewed Killinger’s documentation. Killinger provided his driver’s license, a UPS payslip, and his vehicle registration. All documents matched his name and appearance.

Despite this, Jager accused Killinger of using fraudulent identification and suggested he had a connection inside the DMV to fabricate documents. In his police report, Jager claimed Killinger had “conflicting identification” and said he “lacked satisfactory evidence” to confirm his identity.

I think this cop has watched too many CBS police dramas. And I think this cop is stupid.

Remember, cops in the US have a court-approved IQ cap, you will be washed out if you score too high.

Explains a LOT.

  Is that sarcasm or not? Hard to say.

    Not sarcasm, but a bit of hyperbole. There is no court mandated maximum IQ for cops. There was an incident where a candidate was rejected because he scored too high on an IQ test. The candidate sued for discrimination, but the courts said that it wasn’t illegal for them to reject him on that basis alone.

They tend not to hire cops who are smarter than a cold bowl of soup.

  Chef, this gazpacho soup is cold! Take it away and bring me a fresh, hot bowl. I’m not some push about who will stand for such treatment!
