Well me and my buddy have a Civil suit against a officer from or local Police department. Well last summer me and a buddy of mine ended up getting a possession charge for 1 gram of pot. Over the next month after we got caught we were constantly harassed by this same officer. We got pulled over 14 times in 30 days and were never giving even a ticket. The cop would do the same thing over and over pulling us over and stupid little things and coming up to our window and saying that he smells the presence of weed and would tell us to get out of the car to be searched and so he could search the vehicle. Well we stoped carrying anything on us at all after our posses ion charge that we got earlier so we would just go along with it and let him do his thing. But one of the days that we got pulled over he came up to the window and said we were both under arrest for posses ion and took us out one at a time and searched us...found nothing, placed us in the back of the car and started searching the car. We are just sitting in the back seat knowing he was not going to find anything so we are just waiting for him to come out and let us go. He finally gets done searching the vehicle and comes back to the car and told us that he did not find anything but knew there was weed in the vehicle because he could smell it. So we are still expecting to get released but no. He took us down to the station and took us in and placed us in different rooms( by the way we were not read our rights at all) we ended up sting in the police station for a little over an hour and then another officer comes and and tell us that we can go now and released us. Well me and my buddy were not happy with this situation at all and went home and called a lawyer and started discussing what had happened to us and what we could do about it. So after a little time and a few meetings with the lawyer we now have a court date set up. We are taking the cop to court for harassment and illegal search and we also may have a case against the PD of our city for the fact that we were placed under arrest without having our rights read to us and for being taken in to custody for no reason. Just thought i would share this, looking forward to not being the defendant and going against a cop and the local PD. Our lawyer is very confident that we have a good case set up against them. I will let you all know what happens after court...

Yeah! Stick it to them!
And anyone who is having trouble with the cops should check out this site: www.copwatch.com
A friend of mine was arrested 3 times right off the street after walking out of the place he worked at (a bar). It was the same cop all three times who arrested him. We talked to the people at Cop Watch and they gave us a TON of good ideas for catching bad cops in the act of being bad!

Sounds like he needs to go. I hope he's happy in his future job as a night time security guard at a used car lot...

As cool as it would be to bleed the PD dry do you think that is a really good idea? I mean a) you are diverting funds from keeping real criminals off the streets b) its the citizens money anyway, and there is lots more where that came from
I think you should just settle out of court for that clowns job. Or create an police anti-corruption office in your name.

I suggest you stick it to the man.
You can say that you're diverting funds and thus allowing real criminals to go free, but in reality this police force isn't spending its time worrying about real criminals it's harrassing peaceful people. Because of this it needs reform and when institutions don't respond to reason, reform needs to come in the most public, most potent way possible. In this case it's defeat in court (and legal fees associated with it) and the loss of this cop's job. Any cop that doesn't realize the effect he's having on people lives by harrassing them in this way, or does and doesn't care, doesn't deserve to be a police officer and the polic department should learn to not hire such individuals by taking a monetary loss in the way of court fees. As I see it...
I would see about suing them for legal fees you would have to pay as well...you shouldn't have to pay to defend your rights as a citizen.

That line stood out to me. This officer was not doing a good job, and his boss was probably upset how far below quota he was wasting time on you. I think that officer got in big shit as soon as he brought you back, so stank so much they had to send someone else to let you out.
The only thing worse than a righteous cop is a crooked lawyer. I would recommend getting another lawyer's opinion. I'm curious if anyone has talked about a settlement, because in such an open and shut case thats what the city would be seeking now.
Consider the officer may have a family, and otherwise be a great guy, except he drinks the government koolaid and believed the hype about druggies. Justice in this case might more resemble an apology and discipinary measures for the cop, rather than getting a cash reward from the city. What is your lawyer after?
