The city attorney told the council that if an internal affairs investigation reveals that the arrests were illegal, the city will dismiss all of the charges against all of the people and even overturn the convictions for those who pleaded guilty to get out of jail.

They had better expunge all record of the arrests and give every person an official written apology. Otherwise, these arrests will come back to haunt some of them.

Agreed. If the City Attorney is smart, he'll make such a motion to the court, and seek City Council permission to refund all the towing fees, as well as issue the written apology.

That won't head off all the lawsuits, but it might substantially reduce any damages that might be awarded.

I agree,besides job aps,etc.,when you buy a firearm the paperwork asks if you have ever been arrested.I'd been told if you answer yes to any of the questions they couldn't sell you a firearm.

I wonder what happens when people that have been arrested on false charges or found not guilty try to buy a firearm?
