- pg_1234 3y agoTake it out of police pension funds.
- olliej 3y agoTax payers already pay for police incompetence and malice, but at least now they wouldn't be able to steal property and then use that to pay for new toys, overtime, bonuses, etc and would have to operate inside their actual budget (rather than using theft to supplement their income). Obviously making police overtime and bonus pools be the source of funds for lawsuit payouts might improve things - the unwillingness of police to actually report illegal behaviour by their coworkers might be reduced when that behaviour lowers their income.
