If the facts are exactly as you state, the only thing I can think of is these cops were crazy, or otherwise inclined to abuse their police powers.   It's not unheard of.   But IMO it's far more likely that there are facts that matter a great deal that you have not told us in your post.

Yes, your friend should follow his attorney's advice and should also not discuss his legal woes with friends, much less opine about them on Usenet.

If your friend wants to share this event in his life with you, he will.   Otherwise he would probably appreciate if you would refrain from being nosy.
