the city shouldn't have to cover that.  it should come out of his pay.   not sure if that is the way the law works.... but i believe that would be the proper way to handle it.   

 

Super. Retroactively. 

 

But, the City should pay it for the short term, so this lady isn't hindered by what their d*p$h*t employee did.

Not only should he pay. 

 

But isn't it a crime to use stolen plates?  The theft amounts to more than $1000, isn't that larceny?

 

nevermind: Colorado looks like it isn't a felony until it hits $2000.

Hard to fathom that anyone could have believed this was going to be hunky dory.

So, it cost $75,000 and he's going to write a check for $37,500 to pay for it.

I have a big problem with the civil forfeiture issue too.  Many times people are proven non guilty or not even charged in the end and have one hell of time getting their property or money back if they ever do.

There is a case in CA where a company promoted untraceable safety deposit boxes to its clients.  
 

The FBI investigated the company and eventually got a warrant to search the company/pseudo bank but the warrant explicitly said they couldn’t open up the safety deposit boxes.  
 

Well the FBI went ahead and opened the boxes and seized the contents until the owners of the safety deposit boxes could prove what was in there wasn’t gotten through illegal gains!!   
 

People have been going through expensive legal procedures to get their rightful property back that was seized through illegal means.  Complete and utter horse s#!t in my view.

Seems like something that 90+% of citizens would be in favor of getting rid of, but politicians won't do it because the police will back their opponent.

So do I.  This is BS.

 

This is a prime example of how you can support police and law enforcement and also support changing how they do their jobs and what they can legally do.

Here is a link to the story I was remembering. Looks like there was some movement in June/July since I first heard about it.

I'm going to say $37,500 is still a lot of money, and most county sheriffs wouldn't have that kind of cash.

He should pay the whole thing even if he has to make payments.
