Woman Who Was Arrested and Called “Teagbagger” by Deputy Awarded $1.12 Million For Illegal Arrest

A federal jury has awarded Nancy Genovese an amount of $1.12 million for her inappropriate prosecution by Suffolk County law enforcement.

It was an innocent enough day for Nancy Genovese of Long Island. After visiting a shooting range, the mother of three stopped to take a photo of a decorative helicopter in front of a National Guard base in the Hamptons for use on a website showing support for the troops. She was on public property the entire time.

She was charged with trespassing and was held for four days before she could bail out. The charges against her were later dropped. Genovese believes she was arrested strictly because of her political beliefs.

When deputies arrested her they accused her of being a Tea Party member and a “real right winger”.

I doubt that it will make a difference to the deputy because he personally will probably not have to fork out any money.

It might. He’s probably not very popular these days.

A personal lawsuit against these cops would be appropriate.

really good news!

........all you can say that is not honestly arguable on FR or anywhere else, even by Cops, is “there are good cops and there are bad cops”..................our job as a citizen is to just bear that in mind.

I think what we are seeing is LEA’s nationwide just have to get better at hiring better people and then training them better. This incident was woefully un-necessary and STUPID!

Good thing she didn’t bring her dog on that little errand that day!

Won’t look good in the personnel file at promotion time on the resume in a regular job. Don’t know what they might do at the cop shop.

Monies awarded will NEVER make a difference as it comes from taxpayer funded “revenue”. It does not hurt the rank and file or the administrators in slightest. It's not their money that is being given away.

You want to see some quick changes in the “bad-apples”, make all monetary awards come from the police pension fund.

They’ve certainly filled law enforcement with the right kind of people to keep the population of the FEMA camps cycling. Remember! Don’t take the free ride to the vacation camp.

The IRS will find a way to get that compensation back.

This is New York ... I’m guessing he’s all lined up for a promotion for this. Probably get a medal for defending the nation against ‘a terrorist’.

Do not believe the local cops will be on the side of the people if the shtf. A deputy told me today that people need to “respect my authority”. And he did look a little like Cartman.
