I wonder just how many more traffic tickets they’ll have to write to ‘get back’ the money they lost at trial?
I'm not certain they'll have to write any.
From the excerpt: "When Dutton complained about the stolen money, the city did not investigate and all video tapes related to the arrest and the deposit of the money were "not saved." US District Judge Mary Lou Robinson reviewed the evidence and last month denied Officer Fry's assertion of immunity. She prepared the case to go to trial.
and "Realizing there was no chance of surviving before a jury, Officer Fry's lawyers decided to settle the case last week $77,500.
Looks like this was all on the officer, himself. Not the city.
