Brandishing in DC

While speaking to Strauss, Rodriguez—who gave the affidavit—noted that his breath smelled of alcohol and that he “had a blank stare, blood shot eyes and appeared confused.” Strauss had “difficulty retrieving” his driver’s license, according to the officer’s account, but he had less difficulty producing another form of identification: While handing over his license, Strauss “displayed his US Senate ID with his right hand…[and] continued to hold the US Senate ID the entire time” until he was told to get out of the car
That would be DC Shadow Senator Paul Strauss brandishing his Senate ID badge during his DUI arrest. My past coverage here.

I'm imune! I'm imune!

Or is it: I HAVE POWER! I HAVE POWER!!
