Woods is suing the city of Cheyenne, the Cheyenne Police Department and the three arresting officers in federal court.He is accusing all the civil defendants of negligence for the actions surrounding and leading to his arrest. He also is accusing them of retaliating against him, alleging that the officers entered his home, fought and arrested him because he asked them what they were doing at his house.
I'm surprised he's not suing for civil rights violations. The defendants should also be prosecuted for unlawful entry, assault, battery, and kidnapping.
I’m not too sue the officers were WHOLLY unreasonable. BUT!! It takes about ten minutes to get a judge to issue a telephonic search warrant. They should have done that. It’s in the Constitution. Duh! Could have been done on the way to the scene.
Civil rights violations that’s probably the federal lawsuit, that usually covers it.
This just shows the tip of the iceberg. The larger problem is cops being the muscle in the domestic violence racquet. Millions of women make a false DV charge because it gets them what they want. In an flash, the man is jailed for a day. The woman can drain the bank account, get a restraining order on him to keep him away from his home and if she’s of the mindset to move out, take everything of value.
The presumption of innocence does not exist for men when a woman cries to a cop.
