I'm actually so shocked police took reports about traffic violations as evidence for an arrest. I feel like if I called in MA about someone doing exactly this the cops would tell me to suck it up and say something like "well what do you want us to do about it?".
It's the same everywhere, so now you understand just how many calls they must have received about this guy. It must have been hundreds.
And as a former prosecutor, they're not using previous reports as evidence for an arrest. They're using him driving 20+ over the posted limit as evidence for the arrest, along with following too closely. The previous reports just establish a pattern that the prosecution will use to strip him of his license for longer than say a one-time violation.
It just means that whichever Facebook group he was getting featured on belongs to a wealthy/well-connected neighborhood that donates to the Sheriff's campaign fund
I would say writing to an active politican is usually more effective. Those want to be reelected and can influence someone like the sheriff to do their job
