She won’t ever see a red cent but at last he’ll probably lose his job and some sleep and learn to keep his mouth shut...

What happened to the Deputy Sheriff and all those involved in these Gestapo tactics?

I can not find any mention anywhere of the cop, who is said to have called her a teabagger.

evidently thats privileged information.

After four days in jail, Genovese posted her $50,000 bail. Although the charges were dismissed in 2009, Brewington says she “was subjected to humiliation and was strip-searched” during her time in prison.

I don't see why she won't get the settlement. Sounds like she earned it.

So some leftwing cops managed to cost the taxpayers there over $1,000,000.

Maybe take the money out of their pension fund and they’ll start to care about people’s rights...

“well done !”


I wish to state that during the 2015-01-03 “Stop Obama Amnesty and FIRE John Boehner” rally in St. Petersburg, FL ...

that a Florida State Officer talked with us at approximately 1:45 PM-EST ...

he was very polite and acknowledged our First Amendment right to free speech ...

it was a genuinely positive experience.

I mean, the insult itself would probably fall under libel, for starters.

Dishonest headline, didn’t win the case because the guy called her a teabagger, won the case because they grossly violated her civil rights.

Misleading headline. Makes her lawsuit sound trivial.

Great idea. Someone should sue Obama:

How is this worth 1.2 million in damages?

This story is almost a month old and has been repeated here on FR numerous times since the jury verdict on December 11th. Note that the $1.2 million is for compensatory damages with the jury yet to decide the issue of punitive damages.

My understanding is the Ms. Genovese, like a lot of tea party supporters, is somewhat of a vocal gadfly who has been highly critical of the high costs of government on Long Island where there are multiple levels of overlapping police agencies, which in the opinion of many, are a huge and unnecessary burden to the taxpayers. In Suffolk County (where she was arrested), for example, nearly every town and village has its own police department. Then there is the Suffolk County Police Department, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, New York State Police, NYS Department of Environmental Protection Police, MTA Police, Port Authority Police, NYS Mental Health Police, NYS Park Police, State University of New York Police, Suffolk County Community College Police, ASPCA Police, and I’m sure that I missed a few. Many of these police officers — particularly in the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office where the arresting officer at issue is employed — have a six figure base pay with excellent benefits, and make over $200,000 a year with routine overtime.

The taxpayers lost that million plus a couple more in court fees, etc.
