Silly bureaucrats, heroism’s for regular Joes
A man who rescued a swimmer caught in swirling river currents found himself in trouble soon afterward when he was arrested by authorities who claimed he was interfering.
Dave Newman, 48, disobeyed repeated orders by emergency personnel to leave the water, police said. He was charged with interfering with public duties.
Interfering with public duties, which seem to include not saving people. It also sounds made-up. In the event a legal fund is set up for this guy, let me know.
