Re: Mayor of Newark: Squeal on a Gun Owner, Get $1,000
So now, Newark will have to pay $1k to every informant, and tens of thousands to every victim who successfully sues them when the tip turns out to be bogus and they wrongfully arrest and violate that victim's civil rights.
The $1k is cheap, the cost of infringing upon one's rights isn't.
