The cop targetting and arresting someone for insulting his family?

Not particularly complex.

That would be bad indeed, but he didn't do that.

He wouldn’t have ran the warrant check if the guy hadn’t insulted his mother and to be honest, a cop will be able to find something you are doing that is illegal 100% of the time.

Guy said something that wasn't illegal, cop files that away despite it not being illegal, and then uses the fact that the guy was standing somewhere not committing a crime but being near where other guys had previously committed crimes, and decides to run his warrant check because, uh......

No telling how much time and resources this cop has wasted on running checks on factually and legally innocent people he has personally taking a dislike to.
