Woman falsely accused of hit and run despite video evidence to contrary (Scottsdale)

[crimycarny]

Wow...how are these police still working? And "qualified immunity"? How is it possible this doesn't violate her civil rights??? What am I missing?

1. How utterly infuriating. n/t

[marble falls]

2. There was a dj on KSLX who called Scottsdale "the west's most midwestern town".

3. Is there a follow to see if the new chief hung these cops out to dry? And what...

about the prosecutors who were buying it and charging her?

5. Not yet

I haven’t been able to find an update beyond the fact that a new Scottsdale police chief has started an internal investigation. I’m assuming partly due to renewed media attention. This whole thing happened in 2020, but reports with video about it have only cropped up the last couple of weeks.

4. Also on the news today it sounds like the dems are capitulating to the repubs on

qualified immunity in the new bill. I mean wasn't that one of the biggest issues that they needed to deal with?

7. Qualified immunity means they can't be sued. They can...

of course, still be fired

And if they are fired, good chance they csn be sued. Good chance fhey they could be sued in this case anyway, since they were not doing their jobs. She should sue Scottsdale for all it's worth.

QI means you can't be sued over bullshit. If you are properly doing
your job and something goes wrong, you are protected. If you are not doing the job, you can, and should, be sued.

6. Condescending cop telling them they are liars. I'd sue the damned city.
