I'm really loving this game, but one thing I don't understand is why the heck a former lawyer (even a junior one) is getting pushed around by corrupt cops?
Even if he doesn't personally know anybody practicing in the area, surely he could reach out to a former classmate or friend of a friend and get the district attorney to reign in the local police. Heck after this fiasco, he could file a complaint himself with the local court (and judges are going to be well beyond the reach of a hotel chain owner (think Uncle Phil from the Fresh Prince)) about police corruption, improper action, harassment, etc.. Heck, that could make for a good plot hook to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend and friends back home if you wanted to bring that in as a plot element.
The MC is financially well off, well-connected (even if they're in another city), and experienced in working the justice/legal system. He should be virtually untouchable by cops unless he actually breaks the law.
