I find absolutely NOTHING "equal" about this...

Please read ALL of the attached concerning alcohol violations...then consider the following:

1.    The Kalkaska Sheriff deputy responding IMMEDIATELY handed this off to the Michigan State Police...

2.    Frank Israel is 20 years old...and couldn't remember his birth date when questioned by the EMT responding...

3.    The incident was a single vehicle rollover accident, at approximately 4:30 a.m., on a Wednesday morning...

4.    According to the MSP police report, young Mr. Israel blew a .14 at approximately 7 a.m., was NOT tested at the scene...

5.    Frank Israel was arraigned on a single charge of "Driving while impaired"..."Impaired"???...at nearly TWICE the legal limit???...

6.    It took the State Police 70 days to file any charge at all...after 77 days, State law says any charges CANNOT filed...and young Mr. Israel would have walked away 'scott free' if not for our multiple agency FOIA requests...

7.    The case was handled entirely by the Crawford County court system, but was scheduled for both arraignment and sentencing at 8 a.m., BEFORE any County buildings were 'officially' open to the public, and we were given the WRONG location for the sentencing by the Kalkaska County court clerk...very private indeed...

"Equal justice under the law" is NOT so "equal" if you happen to be the Sheriff's son...

We have more on this..."film at 11", as they say...
