Update: Sam has just written in his facebook page (comment in the photo post) it was not him driving the car and he was not in italy at the moment. What the hell?
This is getting more and more ridiculous.

Sam Esty Rayner Photography Facebook comment (July 7):
The Italian newspapers state, on behalf of Roma Polizia, that the driver of the car was Sam Esty Rayner.
Sam was not the driver; was not in the car; was not in Italy on the date of the incident.

Morrissey claims he was ‘terrorised by police officer who drew his gun’ - Metro.co.uk
Excerpt:
The state police website claimed Morrissey had an attitude from the outset and was astonished he had not been recognised.
It added police were eventually able to identify him after making further inquiries.
Morrissey told Metro.co.uk: ‘Yes, I had an attitude – of someone being provoked. I do not expect anyone anywhere to know who I am. If this is all the police can say in their defence, then you must draw your own conclusions.
‘If this can happen to me on a busy, daylight street in Roma, then Italy places itself right up there with Syria in terms of moral stability.
‘With armed psychopaths free on the streets of Roma, then incoming migrants will soon be storming Italian borders to get back to Libya.
‘Italy’s ranking as 126th most dangerous country in the world has now shifted to number 1.’
