You're double-counting - if the restitution is fair, then the unlawful arrest isn't a net victimization. Restitution just means a transfer of unfairness from taxpayers to those their police department victimizes.
- boomlinde 9y agoSo if I beat you to a pulp and then pay your expenses and cover your losses, would you consider that a zero sum in terms of victimization? What sum of money would be necessary to get you un-assaulted and un-beaten up? Restitution, legally, covers monetary losses. It should not be taken to mean that all is well when the bills are paid. You can't pay away a black eye.
