Only $75,000? The idiot Jersey cops got off easy.
Here in Maine, a woman was illegally strip-searched by the Knox County Sheriff’s Department in recent years.
She was awarded either $400,000 or $450,000, I forget which amount.
Police are always right, they are perfect, they never make mistakes.....sorry I wish law enforcement the best, its a tough job...but when they’re wrong, they’re wrong.
Like these federal marshals who tackled a defense attorney after his client, Ammon Bundy, and six others were acquitted at the Oregon Standoff trial in Portland last fall.
This video was released yesterday.

Anybody who leaves ANYTHING visible in their car, at any time, no matter how innocent, is taking a risk. If you have a bag with powdered substances in it, even more so.
You see? This is why I wake up every morning! You learn something new EVERY day. I swear I had no idea there was such a thing as “illegal” bath salts...
Or they were heading to, or passing, "a destination city", or driving on a highway that connects any source or destination with another one, which includes any interstate highway in the U.S. and many others as well. That's another common subterfuge.
If if’s bath salts, how can it be illegal?
Never consent to a search.
If they have to ask, they don’t have probable cause, that means it’s just a fishing expedition and NOTHING good can come from it. Sit on the side of the road for 4 hours and invoke your 6th amendment, the right to counsel.
Never voluntarily give consent for a cop to search your vehicle. Good advice from a cop.
