Bad Cop - Biker sues state trooper over stop




A Nashville motorcyclist has sued a state trooper, claiming he was pulled over and roughed him up because the trooper thought he was someone else.

Quote from the article:

In the lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court, Richard Jeffrey Laude claims Tennessee Highway Patrolman Jimmy D. Knowles "violently pulled Laude off his motorcycle" and struck him several times during a traffic stop in October 2008.

Knowles had been looking for a group of motorcycles that sped by him earlier that day, Laude said in his suit.
