    The same can be said when you're accused of anything sexual, even if you didn't do it at all.

    The mere mentioning that you may have committed a sexual act is a permanent branding, regardless of a dismissed case or an innocent verdict.

      I don't think you can really compare an arrest for DUI with an arrest for anything sexual. A person arrested for DUI usally has a pretty strong reason for being arrested in the first place. Yes, there are innocent people being accused of a sexual crime every day - being drunk? not so much! if you don't want to pay the consequences, don't drink & drive - it's a pretty simple concept.

        The comparison isn't so much about the arrest of the alleged drunk or alleged sex offender; it's the permanence that comes from parading these individuals before they're ever even convicted. (Oops! Sorry, you're really innocent! Well, the crime's off your record, but everyone now thinks you're a drunk/rapist.)

        Yes, far more guilty people get away than there are innocent people who get arrested. Unfortunate. But Police Officers are human too, and yes they do make errors in judgement.

          Why would he brag about endangering innocent people's lives?
