There a maximum payouts set by law in most states. The amounts vary based upon the offense.

[@jeromebarber2763]

That's how the game goes, civil lawyers in the same area as the prosecutors and lie Enforcement all work together often, they manipulate the plaintiffs into believing a quick settlement is in their best interests bc going to trial has no guarantees, a person that needs money now will take it over waiting years to potentially get little or nothing..his lawyer and his own impatience that most likely caused him to settle for less.

[@jbelavor9124]

The other side of it is if you are offered a settlement and decline, you are potentially on the hook for all the legal fees, depending on the court. There was a football player a few years ago who had been wrongfully arrested and brought up a lawsuit against the city. They offered him a settlement equal to the amount of the lawsuit and he declined, knowing he would pay more in legal fees than the suit would get him. But he wanted there to be a case which could be used as a precedent so that people who weren't celebrities could have their case be heard and have a reference case to help their verdict.

[@AirborneAudits]

Honestly, the restraint of the people is amazing! After years of being constantly harassed, beaten, and arrested for nothing who could blame them for retaliating against corrupt cops... especially when nothing ever changes?

[@atk9989]

It's OK they will keep voting for a Democrat mayor that claims to care about them then ignores them or passes more laws that put even more reasons for cops to arrest them.

To be honest this is why I stopped riding where I live. I got about 6 tickets in Baltimore because I was "in the area of other bikers" who were doing wheelies, driving recklessly, and other random stuff police wanted to stick me with. I won every court case but found out they were starting to target me on my route to work because they'd post up outside my job after never having posted there before and I'd come back to a ticket or infraction on my bike so they could stack evidence against me. So, when I stopped riding, I had a casual encounter with a cop that kept asking where my bike was "because it was awesome", but then asked if any of my friends rode around the area too because they had gotten reports of bikes in the area and still took me in for questioning even when I hadn't ridden my bike in 2 weeks. I have friends who ride but we hate cutting too close to each other and tend to spread out in case someone tries to run one of us off the road. The irony of which is my friend was run off the road by a car and the cop said that my friend must have done something to provoke the driver and didn't make an arrest, 2 weeks later the guy was in jail for road rage.

I'm over here looking at our state primary candidates, and almost every single one has a passage about addressing crime and public safety by hiring more police. Like, really?

The motorcyclist has a good point about the censors not picking up bikes. This is a major problem for me as a cyclist. If no one else is at the light, you are forced to either wait for no traffic and run the red, or get off the road completely and hit the pedestrian crosswalk, before then getting back on the street. I hope an engineer somewhere I coming up with a solution to let red lights know when a bike is there.

[@SaraphDarklaw]

In California, it’s legal for a bike to go if it’s safe on a red.

[@ramsfanz1]

Rider and city planner here. A lot of the time for the sensors being right at the line isn't where it is pointing to. You actually need to be about 7 to 8 feet back. That is where they check and also if the sensor is in the ground it is about 9 to 10 feet back.

[@shadowstonar360]

You can run a red if the lights have cycled and skipped you. Ie waiting to turn left and it gives green to the intersection but skips your left turn green. Or you can run it after a few minutes of waiting and there is no other traffic just treat it like a stop sign.

[@ramsfanz1]

@@shadowstonar360 be careful saying that because it changes from state to state. In California you are not allowed to do that unless a police officer tells you. What the vehicle code says to do is that you need to try and back up and make your way into the right lane and turn right. From there you need to find another way through. I think that is absolutely stupid and way more dangerous than proceeding with caution but unfortunately that is what it is.

Hm. Of course the biker got angry. He got attacked, he was almost pushed over the bike, he was also robbed. He got no explanation and he had questions, the cop threaten him and arrested him. The cop should stop next to them, show them they violated traffic laws, then tell them someone called the cops on them, etc. In a calm, human way. If he can't do that, he should work in a Walmart warehouse alone, because he is not social enough to work with people.

Why do some cops think they can hold entire groups of motorcyclists hostage to demand information about other motorcyclists? Notice how they abuse the traffic laws to do it, too.

I hope some of the citizens of Broadview go to their city council and ask if they can afford to hire an officer with that record. And then they need to ask their police chief what hiring a person like this says about their policing strategy. We need to make sure that the police chief and town council are on record about this before Officer Ridgner commits any other problematic acts.

It is illegal to falsely imprison one who has not committed a crime. It is a abuse of powers and assaults on civil liberties An illegal arrest which is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending himself as he would in repelling any other assault and battery." State v. Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260 "Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case, the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense." State v. Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100

Even then the movement wasn't purely ment to punish the police. Rather it was supposed to find a way to find causes for such crimes and find ways to use funding in order to prevent the need for the police to respond to such calls altogether if they never occur. The problem was the implementation was done incorrectly in many cases. Even bail reform, no one should be held because they can't afford bail. It is purely haves and have not situation and punishes those who are poor to stay behind bars. It should simply be up the the Judges if they should be released on bail or not in occurance to past history etc, just like the judge can set the bail higher or lower. If not, then ot should be no one gets bail everyone is held until trial.

As a rider if a cop took my keys without proof of anything, instantly no help and lawyer Also, alot of us pass the stop line because the sensors don't always pick up a bike, and we move forward so the cars behind us can trip the sensors

[@piper998877]

I'm still so confused by what happened in the second situation. The cop angrily cuts off a group of bikers (and blocking all other traffic behind them waiting to turn), biker has no time to process what's happening before the cop grabs keys, yet never tells them what's going on. ATA giving the biker a "C" because he was angry for having his keys confiscated, was basically asking what infraction was he getting accused seems ludicrous. The cop should have gotten a D- at best because that is not how a minor traffic stop should occur.

[@TheShepherd2305]

yeah but that's where he stopped and there were 2 other bikes stopped on the sensor as well. The first 2 bikers technically ran the light by crossing over the white line signifying the beginning of the intersection. I'm a rider too and I'd be pissed if he took my key like that! I wouldn't have stopped or given either of them citations even if I technically could have. State patrol are often dick heads because they're not real cops. All they do is traffic, they don't respond to 911 calls or work cases.
