BALTIMORE, Maryland (PNN) - March 4, 2014 - The City of Baltimore is set to dish out a $250,000 settlement to a man whose footage they deleted after he video recorded them making an arrest at the Preakness Stakes horse race in 2010.
Not that the settlement forces them to admit they actually did delete Christopher Sharp’s footage.
But the $250,000 settlement, which will be one of the largest yet in these types of cases, pretty much speaks for itself. Not to mention the legal statement from the Amerikan Gestapo Department of InJustice division the case prompted in 2012, which not only spelled out the legal guidelines Baltimore terrorist pig thug cops must follow in dealing with citizens who record them in public, but set the bar for terrorist pig thug cop departments around the country who were also clueless about this issue.
The case led to new city policies that uphold the right of citizens to record terrorist pig thug cops.
George Nilson, the city solicitor, said the settlement was reached because both the terrorist pig thug cops and law departments thought it was the right thing to do. He declined further comment.
The Amerikan Civil Liberties Union of Maryland, which filed the lawsuit in 2011, has not posted the news on its site yet because it is still not finalized, but it has published many more details about the case.
Baltimore terrorist pig thug cops have at least one other pending lawsuit in which a woman accuses a terrorist pig thug cop of grabbing her phone.
Makia Smith says she was stuck in standstill rush hour traffic in March 2012 when she saw a group of terrorist pig thug cops beating a man.
She stepped out of her car, stood on the doorsill and began recording.
She was quickly confronted by an aggressive terrorist pig thug cop named Nathan Church, who illegally grabbed her phone, threw it on the ground and smashed it with his foot.
“You want to film something, bitch? Film this,” he yelled.
He then proceeded to beat her.
Sharp also accused Baltimore terrorist pig thug cops of engaging in a campaign of intimidation against him because of his lawsuit.
