In no way is that remotely acceptable, but the dude got $2 million. The government making a habit of that behavior would get expensive quickly.

- ComputerGuru 9y agoAre you kidding, that’s your defense? $2M in taxpayer money is nothing to them. Just like the expense of incarceration didn’t bring down jail terms for minor offenses. Or settlements for police brutality haven’t affected that one iota either.
- selectodude 9y agoIf they did that to ten thousand US citizens (.0031 percent chance of being messed with), a 2 million dollar settlement would cost them $20bn. Affordable, but certainly not a rounding error line item.
- dx034 9y agoThe officers working on the case do not decide about the govt budget. I'm not even sure if the government tracks expenses from those cases and would know how to react if the costs escalate.
