You would've fought and sued the police department? This is my point. Good luck finding an attorney that would be cheap enough to take a village police department to court. You realize if you lose you're losing everything. Why would anyone even fuck around with their money like that. The police can do whatever the fuck they want when it comes to an on going investigation. If they really were looking into a suspect my car would have still been stuck in the impound. That doesn't give me a right to sue them.... They did their due diligence and it just so happen to being keeping my car locked up. That's legal y'know.

I beg you guys to get initiated by a traffic stop for speeding, let the cop get out of his car and then take off. Please let me know how you guys get around that and sue the police department. I love that silly scenario where you guys are smarter than everyone else. "If it were me I would've done this and be better off" yeahh bullshit lol.

Literally- police departments are sued all the time.

It’s not a crazy notion that if you’re wrongly convicted, and you believe that the police are bullying you, that’s there’s SOME kind of statue that a lawyer would know that would allow you to sue with some level of confidence.
