57. "Summary arrests are RARELY made in cases like this."
I don't have any more evidence about the truthfulness of that statement than you've provided, which is none. On the other hand, I have seen numerous stories, including some posted above, where people are in fact arrested johnny-on-the-spot for similar offenses/accidents. There is at least the appearance of a double standard here.

Hey, I'm not saying the guy is guilty of innocent of anything. Just that it appears he was treated differently from many civilians caught in similar circumstances.
