The lawsuit for Brady Mistic was filed around two weeks ago in the US District Court in Denver against the city of Idaho Springs and the Board of County Commissioners of Clear Creek County, as well as Officers Nicholas Hanning and Ellie Summers. Mistic spent roughly four months in jail after the incident. The arrest that took place in 2019 was captured on body camera footage from one of the officers. ‘No control:’ Violent brawls being posted to social media at Kansas City middle school Both officers can be heard in body camera footage demanding that Mistic get back into his car and they claimed in police reports that Mistic failed to comply with their demands and felt like he was about to attack them. Mistic is is deaf in both ears and primarily uses sign language to communicate. Originally, Mistic was charged with second-degree assault on a police officer and resisting arrest, but the charges have since been dropped. According to the police report, Mistic was also charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument after one of the officers found what appeared to be 24 $100 bills in his wallet, which Officer Summers said felt like they were made of printer paper with Chinese symbols on the back of the bill. Due to the serious nature of his bonds, Mistic was held in jail for four months with a high bond. Mistic’s lawyer said the bond was lowered to $3,000, and eventually he was granted a personal recognize bond, letting him leave the jail without having to post any money. Mistic also claims that he was denied an interpreter while he was in jail.

How the hell is a deaf person allowed to be driving a car on the roads? "The incident happened on Sept. 17, 2019, when Officers Nicholas Hanning and Ellie Summers followed Mystic’s car into a laundromat parking lot after claiming Mistic ran a stop sign."
It's perfectly legal for the deaf to drive. I think this dude may be from the not too distant future carrying those hundred dollar bills with Chinese symbols on the back.
So tell me how a deaf person hears the warning devices of other vehicles and sirens on emergency vehicles -- which is required for a driver. If the deaf are allowed to drive then why don't we allow drivers to use headphones or earbuds when behind the wheel. Since they allow the deaf to drive -- What are they going to do next allow the blind to drive?
Because the deaf are trained to drive deaf and do a driving test with written instructions from the examiner. It's very different from a hearing person wearing earbuds the odd time.
People using earbuds are being distracted from the task of driving similar to texting. The deaf are not distracted. They also have some special mirrors to use on the car and they go through some different drivers training. They are no where near as dangerous as the dopes texting, screwing with their sound systems, and a whole host of other nitwit drivers.
The last time I looked Police cars, ambulances, ect also had lights blaring all over the place? Not too sure how well you can see them during the daytime though compared to nighttime.
One I was surprised by is a friend in Ireland is narcoleptic and he was able to drive insured without an issue. The insurance guy said that narcoleptics under treatment and with a doctors letter supporting, have fewer accidents than normal people since they are very aware of managing the condition.
