A man from Santa Monica, California, has been awarded an amount of $70,000 for being wrongfully arrested by police in 2011. During the arrest, he was subjected to severe harassment when he was asked to take a sobriety test by the officers.
Sennett Devermont, the man behind mrcheckpoint.com, alleged in a civil lawsuit filed in 2013 against the Santa Monica police officers who pulled him over for an illegal right-hand turn against a red light, that the police officers had violated his rights by arresting him out of retaliation after he refused to perform a field sobriety test.

Good for him - know your rights!
Hold the Gestapo accountable for their actions!
so the kops took his oxy? maybe they should have run a drug test instead of a alcohol test.
Idiots!
Retired law man: so glad I'm out it was getting bad a few years ago with the amount of triple checking paperwork on him blacks you stop vs whites. Has to be even or your investigated. Now, I can't even image the federal police are badnews. You will see puppets. Peace out bths
$70,000 award didn't hurt the cops at all, it's the taxpayer that gets punished.
