BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A man who sued Buffalo police after being ticketed for shouting at an officer to turn on his headlights can move forward with his legal action, an appeals court ruled.
R. Anthony Rupp III, a civil rights attorney, said he did not intend to sue after his December 2016 encounter with two police officers.
“You know you can be arrested for that,” McAlister told Rupp through an open window.
Rupp responded that McAlister should not be driving after dark without his headlights activated and told the officer he almost caused an accident.
McAlister then “got out of his vehicle and told Rupp he was detained,” the lawsuit said.
