So if you are arrested, you should not expect a trial?
And you do need probable cause for an arrest.
Some Baltimore police officers face repeated misconduct lawsuits
City has paid more than $600,000 in lawsuits for one officer
John Bonkowski recently settled a lawsuit for $75,000 with the city after being beaten by police officer.
While hospitalized with a fractured ankle and broken jaw, John Bonkowski reached for his smartphone to find details about the man who beat him outside a parking garage near the Inner Harbor.
He typed “Officer Michael McSpadden” into Google.
The results stunned Bonkowski. He found references showing that the longtime Baltimore officer had been accused in three separate civil lawsuits: of kicking and stomping a woman, of breaking a man’s wrist and of beating a man unconscious with a police baton. Settlements in those lawsuits had cost city taxpayers more than $485,000.
Makes you wonder why McSpadden was still on the job.
These police officers should be stomping on their ipads and apple watches and leave the humans alone
It should have cost the taxpayers 30 or 40 million dollars. It should have cost the city so much that the lowest property tax bill was 100,000 dollars.
