How many black men are in jail on fake charges?
It has to be a lot.
This one cop has 400 cases under review because of fake evidence he planted on suspects like Elon Wilson.
Wilson was pulled over in 2018 by Officer Jonathan Freitag who claimed Wilson crossed the solid yellow line and had windows tinted darker than the legal limit.
Freitag later admitted the car never went over the yellow line and he never tested Wilson’s window.
The Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney learned the arresting officer, Jonathan Freitag, lied about why he pulled over Wilson’s car and had a history of racially-motivated traffic stops. Now, they are reviewing 400 additional cases involving the officer because authorities do not believe they can trust any of the work he did in Fairfax County.
Wilson spent 20 months in jail.
I hope he sues.
