<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1431273, member: 26302&quot;]Personally sir, I would hope the State or Feds would step in to prosecute violations of civil liberties by the police force.

Maybe I am just too theoretical thinking innocent taxpayers who have no control over the issues are getting shafted. I agree that something in such a situation should be done, I would just hope it would involve actions not sending these taxpayers to the cleaners.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are completely right though that we need to take control of our government more, be more responsible. People do not realize how much this can affect them. There was a small town in AZ like 30 years ago who hired a cop. This cop did something horribly wrong and the town was sued. The judgment was so large, and the town so small, that basically everyone lost their house. Every single house in town had a judgment apportionment greater than the value of the home, so they entire town just ceased to exist. I know this is an extreme outlier, but I think of it every time a bus crashes and 26 people file lawsuits against the city, (unfortunately for them in this one case the bus crashed in the maintenance yard before it had started for the day). I always wonder if those 26 people ever went to jail over that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
