Maybe people have learned how to exploit this for money It's easy, they just provoke cops who tend to not follow the law until they got a case. If I could get wrongly arrested by a cop or even hurt to gain 300k, that would be worth it, and I would imagine people would learn the law and observe cops to make it happen. It's very malicious, but it seems the gains are high.

  That's a risk I take every single day I go outside. Where I live there's over 100 shootings a year on the interstate alone in the loop around my city.

    Wow. When I was a kid I once asked my stepdad why people who live in super dangerous inner city neighborhoods didn’t move. His answer (some people can’t afford to move) didn’t satisfy me at the time. I thought to myself “bus tickets cost fifty bucks”. As a child I didn’t understand the nuances of life, but I also think there’s some power in childish naïveté.

Whether or not it's worth it financially isn't clear. The guy got 100k after legal fees. Not sure if that 100k gets taxed and to what degree. This was after the police department spread his mugshot around and tried to smear his reputation He probably should've gotten more

  It is not taxed federally because it is not considered income. Similar how getting repayment for a debt is not income. Idk about state taxes.
