The police deserves to lose money just for having their officer hassle a pedestrian who by his own admission, did not suspect that person of committing a crime. If I don't commit a crime, its none of the police's business who I am or what I am doing. Its still supposed to be a free country.

[Natural Law]

The taxpayers should not have to indemnify unlawful behavior. Police departments do not self fund. The money they pay out in settlements comes from the taxpayers. The penalties for a police officer or supervisor acting unlawfully should be personal.

It is if the policeman wants to make a hit on you...;-)

"Its still supposed to be a free country."

Yes, and the policeman was after a freebie - she interfered with the duty of the officer...
