Believe it. I also live on Long Island not 15 minutes from this woman. I also am familiar with cops, fire fighters and ambulance workers who think they’re demi-gods and sadly, like so any Long Islanders, they hate that citizens have the right to own weapons. This cop was a jerk and this arrest was ridiculous.
I remember when this story broke out years ago there was a bit of divided opinion here on this case with some supporting the woman and others like yourself claiming there was more to the story and that no cop would arrest a woman for an illegitimate reason.
Well a New York jury has spoken. I’m glad that this lady prevailed. As high taxes are a fact of life here its doubtful anyone will notice the penny increase to pay the award, although there might be plenty who object due to politics. I have a daughter to raise but she’s almost grown and hopefully we’ll be out of here one day.

I can’t believe she’s still getting grief. Everything she did was perfectly legal.
