Massive spending to fight lawsuits over wrongful convictions could cost Chicago taxpayers $1 billion

Now this has to be some sort of record!

I don't know for a fact why they fight it, but it seems plausible it is just an offshoot of the thrill of screwing someone over...typically with no consequences... which is how they ended up with the wrongful convictions in the first place.Originally Posted by tn1911

No shooting at the fleeing vehicle, no pit maneuver, and the hostage was somewhat willing to be taken hostage.

Would almost be funny in a movie, irritating in real life.

16 Crucial Words That Went Missing From a Landmark Civil Rights Law. The phrase, seemingly deleted in error, undermines the basis for qualified immunity, the legal shield that protects police officers from suits for misconduct.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/15/u...eme-court.html
https://larc.cardozo.yu.edu/cgi/view...culty-articlesThe author of the decision, Judge Don R. Willett, then did something unusual. He issued a separate concurring opinion to draw attention to the “game-changing arguments” in a recent law review article, one that seemed to demonstrate that the Supreme Court’s entire qualified immunity jurisprudence was based on a mistake.
“Wait, what?” Judge Willett wrote, incredulous.
In 1871, after the Civil War, Congress enacted a law that allowed suits against state officials for violations of constitutional rights. But the Supreme Court has said that the law, usually called Section 1983, did not displace immunities protecting officials that existed when the law was enacted. The doctrine of qualified immunity is based on that premise.
But the premise is wrong, Alexander A. Reinert, a professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, wrote in the article, “Qualified Immunity’s Flawed Foundation,” published in The California Law Review.

Officer conducts an illegal stop outside his jurisdiction(possibility it was done as retaliation) and prosecutor(who is a good friend of the cop) decides against prosecution.

That's an incredible level of BS... the facts described make it blatantly obvious a crime was committed. Don't think so? Do all that as a civilian and see what happens to you.
The small bright note:
It will depend on a fair court and a decent lawyer, but it seems likely that the defendants are going to be in trouble in federal court.That's why he filed a federal lawsuit last month against Williams, Laxton and the town of Oliver Springs.

Bakersfield, CA cops out spotlighting oncoming vehicles for shits and giggles and of course they are exempt from the law against such behavior.
