Does anyone know what "aiding and abetting" is? Well this is a fine example of that type of situation. According to the article this person felt as if he could manipulate or interfere with an officer who was obviously conducting a legal justified standard procedure. The pedicabber had no right to impede the officer from doing his job, his interference gave the suspect an opportunity of escape, which can be construed as "aiding and abetting" which is a serious crime. Interfering with an officer is an arrestable offense, so if your cabby buddy gets stopped by the law, I suggest it would probably be wise of you to let the officer do his job, and mind your own business, that way we can avoid negative national exposure of situations like this.
