Its been a while and I might have gotten his name wrong. The essay was by a blogger, a former NYC school teacher and the subject was silly names.
While doing home visits and tutoring the writer met a single mother whose kids all had normal names and were doing well in school even while living in a single parent home in a tough projects type environment.
The writer remarked on the normalcy of their names being unusual in that milieu. The lady of the house made the remark she wasn’t having any of that Sheniqua sh*t for HER kids, they were going to go to school, do well on their merits and work and not have to go through life being pre-judged based on being saddled with a foolish name.
You couldn’t reinstate the complaint, however, you could have sued the police department. They are not authorized to be providing you with wrong legal advice that ends up costing you your rights and/or money. You could probably still sue them, unless this was many years ago.

It might appear that evil triumphs over good in the short run, but it never does.
God bless.
