Mass. Trooper Sues Police Leaders After He Was Told To Alter Arrest Report Of Judge's Daughter

Massachusetts State Police are defending their actions after a trooper filed suit alleging that top police commanders disciplined him and forced him to revise an arrest report for a judge's daughter.
Trooper Ryan Sceviour's suit alleges that after he arrested 30-year-old Alli Bibaud for driving under the influence near Worcester last month, he was told to revise the arrest report. Bibaud's father is Dudley District Court Judge Timothy Bibaud.

I hope he has a plan - because this kind of bravery is not without career consequences.
