A little lesson in the realities of law enforcement. The North Andover cops, told by a local couple that David Filli, owner of a mortgage company, had taken a $25,000 investment from them and then spent it on personal expenses, “asked” Filli to come down to the station to tell his side of the story. He refused, allegedly telling the cops he was too busy and it would be a waste of his time. So, they went out to his place and arrested him.
Moral: When cops ask you to do something, it’s not a request. Sort of like when the president or the governor say they’re going to “ask” the wealthy to pay higher taxes.
