Right, but they could have verified that the registered owner and person driving the car were the same person.
However, since it was in a different state, perhaps the registration database wasn't available - only the stolen vehicle database was.
- sokoloff 4y agoThe article says she was handcuffed (detained); it does not say she was arrested (which would be absurd).

- 2muchcoffeeman 4y agoThe cuffs are also absurd. Here is a article not behind a paywall/forced login screen https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/crime/a-philly-police-courtesy-tow-landed-a-lawyer-in-handcuffs-on-lbi-for-stealing-her/article_f2393a98-a4a3-571f-b189-151163c210a3.html https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/crime/a-philly-police-c... So they even approached her at gun point. And the initial tow and police report was due to police stupidity. Now I don’t want to profile people, but she looks like a regular person and she reports her height as 4ft 11. At what point did the police feel threatened enough to draw weapons?
