Man sues police over handcuff key incident

A law-abiding man was seized and handcuffed by two plainclothes police in the Marché central parking lot last November, and told that his car was stolen property. As it turned out, the cops were wrong about that – but they didn’t have the handcuff key, and the man had to wait until other cops showed up with it. Now he’s suing the SPVM over the incident, which was discussed on the blog at the time.
