Yes, this usually works. On the other hand he should not have to cringe and submit to an authority figure when they have no justification. Making passive submission the norm is a recipe for disaster in society, inviting corruption and exploitation.
I agree, there are far too many people attacking the "pigs" for trying to do their jobs, unfortunately they appeared to have made a moral judgement without any legal backing. By doing this they overstepped their authority and were in the wrong.
