What's really sad is that some cop with nothing better to do can charge someone for a "crime" like this. It winds up causing the ham to have to take a day (or more) off of work to go meet with an attorney, go to court, etc. He probably will win, but then he has to pay for it all to defend himself with no recourse against the court, police, etc. for any kind of reimbursement. Pretty sad......
