BTW, these lawsuits will never go to trial, and the City will settle and pay and probably agree to an injunction against doing this crap in the future, and I doubt any of the Plaintiffs are on the hook for attoreys' fees - the police misconduct was so egregious that the case was ripe for a contingency arrangement.
I did not say it was a bad choice. I said "legitimate and respectable." How do you get "bad" from that?

As for the outcome, time will tell.

None of which has anything to do with the point of my post.

Edited to add:

I missed the part about choosing to cave in and being silly when I originally responded. You obviously know nothing about me. I have been called a lot of things, but not silly. I'm as serious as a heart attack.

I have, for example, represented dozens of people in gun rights cases (some of which were without fee, and all of which were at a reduced fee). I have personally been deliberately arrested TWICE in the past four years in order to resist unconstitutional restrictions on the possession or transportation of firearms (in both cases I was vindicated). I am, at present, suing the City of Pittsburgh for thier illegal use of the zoning code to force FFL's out of the City. And those are just the gun-related issues with respect to which I have put my time, my money and my a** on the line.

And you?
