Was LE waiting for Jason at Meredith's house?
Based on what Jay's mentor said, the marked WCSO units arrived right behind the clan (assume they were parked nearby waiting to intercept the white SUV)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jason goes into the house to be with Cassie. Immediately afterward a swarm of police cars swoop down on the driveway, bubblegum lights flashing, lighting up the neighborhood. Jason’s mother and other family members are in the process of taking their suitcases out of the car when a policeman orders them to stop.
“What do you think you’re doing?” This to a mother and grandmother.
“We’re going to a motel to spend the night. We need our suitcases.”
“You’re not going anywhere with those suitcases.”
“Well, can I get my blood pressure medicine and wallet out of the car?”“No, you can’t. We’re going to search everything in this car. You will eventually get it all back.”
And so forth. Believe me, it really did happen like this. Not only was Jason treated like a criminal from the very beginning, but the rest of his family were treated like conspirators! Eventually Mrs. Young was permitted to retrieve her medicine, but her pocketbook, money, I.D. were not returned until the next day. If I had been there (I got this second hand from someone who was there) I reckon I would have been arrested for assaulting a police officer for the way Mrs. Young was treated.
Now, Jason knows this is happening outside, but he stays in the house with Cassie and his friends. At this point, do you think you would have second or third thoughts about talking with any of the LE people?"
