How's this one for seeming abuse of authority? Didn't happen locally but the outcome is not just. The rescuer stabilized the injured climber and waited several hours with him until SAR arrived. After it was all over, the good samaritan was issued a citation for interfering with the rescue!

I wasn't there, but it sure sounds like BS.
