Urgent – Pidyon Shivuyim (You can take part in the mitzvah this second!)
A heimishe yungerman was just arrested early this morning (Wednesday June 6. 2007) on the Palisades Interstate Parkway on his way back from the Skverrer Rebbe's grandsons Chasunah. A police car had been following him for some time, but never turned on its lights or tried to pull him over. When the police finally turned on the emergency lights, the yungerman pulled right over. The police officer came over to the car and asked why he made him chase him. The yungerman answered that he didn't make them chase him at all and that as soon as he turned on the lights he pulled over. The cop said "don't be a wise a**" and pulled him out of the car, and threw him to the ground and arrested him.
The yungerman is at this moment sitting in the Palisades Police Station in handcuffs, and has not been allowed to even be given a yarmulka to cover his head. The cops said they won't release him until sometime during the day because they can't find the judge. This is nonsense, because they can release him with an appearance ticket. Please immediately call the Palisades Interstate Parkway Police Station and demand that they release him immediately. The number is: 201-768-6001.
Here's an idea of what to say: "I'm calling about the guy you arrested on the Parkway. It's an outrage that you're holding him and you should please release him now!"
