A Texas man was arrested and taken to jail for jumping into the water and saving the life of another man who was drowning. Not saving people is the government's job, and they don't like private citizens horning in where they don't belong.
Police say Dave Newman, 48, disobeyed repeated orders by emergency personnel to leave the water. The police report does not mention Newman's rescue of 35-year-old Abed Duamni of Houston on Sunday afternoon. . .After being handcuffed and put in a Texas State University police squad car, Newman was taken to jail and charged with interfering with public duties.

Bureaucracies expand by encroaching.
My own long-standing proposal is that anything running with siren and lights should be legally declared fair game for gunfire, to introduce humility as a counterforce.
I call bullshit on this! Either emergency services are responsible for your safety, or they are not - guess what, courts say not. I hope this guy fights this, and takes thes4e assholes to the cleaners.
