I didn't even think about filing a civil suit in federal court.

i dont think there would be any legal issue, he is posting speeds as observed on his radar gun.  He is not pretending to be a police officer nor submitting the info for charges or purpoting that any crime has taken place.  He is simpling posting his observations of a public space.
Bump!

But it's good to know that for any and all of the lawsuits involved, they won't be able to sue for more than $350,000.  A'Cause we is tort pertected rat'cheer in Okiehoma.


Unlike that 'greedy' family of the Native American woodcarver gunned down in the video who 'stole' $1.5 million in court...

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

It's just if you have eight or nine police misconduct lawsuits going at a time it tends to pile up, and take money and resources away from where they would do some good.
I wonder, does the tort limit also apply to federal lawsuits, as well?

Must be just state...we can't dictate to Fed about that.  Although our "hicks-from-the-sticks" idiots in the state legislature would certainly love to do that, too!

Officer Bill Yelton will receive an estimated $176,000 in a lump sum as part of a retirement pension option approved Wednesday morning, in addition to at least $2,700 per month.
A Police Department spokesman said Yelton's disciplinary record is not available under the Oklahoma Open Records Act because he is no longer an employee, since his retirement May 7.

Additionally, Tulsa police officials said they could not comment on whether the now-moot Internal Affairs investigation concluded, what the investigation found or whether Yelton was aware of a possible conclusion in the investigation.

Another convicted officer, John K. "J.J." Gray, will be eligible for more than $3,400 per month in pension pay after 20 years as an officer.

I’m not a police spooner but you can at least post the entire article instead of making it look like a rat got paid off:

Quote
Yelton, who was acquitted in August of charges alleging that he violated suspects' civil rights, received approval for his application from the Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement Board to begin receiving his pension in June.

The lump-sum option in his pension allowed Yelton, 51, to receive the amount of money he paid into his pension plan for the last five years along with 7.5 percent interest on that money. The option is available only to officers who have worked at least 20 years, with a maximum payout for five years past 20.

Read more from this Tulsa World article at http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=443&articleid=20120517_11_A1_CUTLIN904875

He was acquitted by the jury on the four charges he faced and the lump sum reflects money HE paid into his retirement account the last five years with 7.5% interest.

7.5% interest.

Where can I sign up for that deal (in dollars, anyway)?

It would seem that the officer in question would need other sources of income to be able to contribute over $2,000 dollars per month to his pension plan over the past 5 years.

As a nation we have come to the point where the grand juries that are impaneled, created as a body of common citizens that issue indictments for prosecution of those who break the laws, when turned over to the elected authorizes, are being overridden by the such employees of government, with a deep conflict of interest.  It is liken the old cliché of asking the fox guarding the henhouse door if there is any thing wrong inside.

And we are bankrupting our country trying to correct these issues in the MID-EAST at the cost of even the lives of our youth.

His base pay was $63,000 per year and he probably worked lots of overtime.

$1,211.53 weekly and working overtime.  The federal grand jury seem to issue and indictment on the possibility that the overtime should not have been charged to the citizens coffers as much overtime seem to be outside of the law.  Or have we come to the point where we pay for someone to wearing the uniform and their performance out side the law is paid for by the law biding citizens?
