Maybe he was driving a police car.
Usually it is people in the back seats of police cars that can't get out unless someone outside opened the door. Two-door police cars aren't so common.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I was just kidding.  It would be pretty damn obvious if he was in a police car.  But the alleged victim couldn't remember what his car looked like even though she did remember he was wearing Hushpuppies.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Old (former) police cars are commonly auctioned after a service life and replacements are ordered. They tend to be well maintained, even if used a bit hard and high mileage.  A DA might have an inside track to pick up a cheap, good car. But that would make it even older, and less likely to be set up so he could lock the door and she couldn't unlock it. That little detail is one that I'm having a problem with, even though just hitting a button to lock all the doors is commonplace on modern vehicles, it wasn't an option then.

No, I believe that's incorrect.

The following is shouted for emphasis:
THE SENATE CANNOT REFUSE TO SEAT MR. MOORE.
(Or... anyone else, for that matter)
So long as he has been duly elected in a legitimate election by the voters of his state, he must be seated as a Senator.

This came to a head with House Representative Adam Clayton Powell in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1969. The above was the Court's decision.

Once he is seated, the Senate could move to expel him.

But sumthin' tells me that if it does, and if the Pubbies there refuse to support him, all hell is gonna break loose come 2018...
