The Spin
Narrative A
It seems Scheffler truly was confused and didn't mean to disobey. It was a dark and rainy morning, with police car lights blinding everyone attempting to figure out the traffic situation. Scheffler doesn't deserve these charges, but everyone, including the police, should learn to be more cautious in these sorts of scenarios.
Narrative B
Pro athletes, no matter how famous, aren't above the law and should not be treated as such. Not only is special treatment unfair, but it gives the impression that laws are malleable when enough money and power are involved.
