There is no terrible damage here other than to her dignity of which she has little.

I can't argue that point. My concern is that by not punishing mistreatment severely, the police and 'system' there will learn that they can get away with a lot for only 10K. Of course, I think that prisoners should be treated harshly, child molesters should be put to death, etc. I'm just tough all around, I suppose!

trouble is the millions will come out of the pockets of citizens. I say fire the people who did this with prejudice and that will go a long way toward a solution.
