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.

It varies from locale to locale.
In Olympia, Washington a few days ago the cops yawned as protestors violated a new gun regulation initiative in plain sight. The reason: the police liked the crazy law no better than the “gun nuts” did.
Conservatives tend to not be as vindictive as liberals.
If it were my wife who was the victim here, she and I would find a way to file a civil suit against the arresting officer.

The deputy needs to pay personally. He should be fired at a minimum.
Obama might appoint him to run the National Civilian Army
Yeah, like in Pyongyang..................
He’d make a perfect NatCC.................
