Watts suspected her private driver's license information was being accessed by fellow officers, so she made a public records request with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. It turned out she was right: over a three-month period, at least 88 law enforcement officers from 25 different agencies accessed Watts' driver's license information more than 200 times, according to her lawyer.

I don't think it is right that a woman should have authority over a man like this, even if the speeding officer was wrong, and the other officers were wrong to harass her. Women shouldn't be police officers.

Cunt cuffs a fellow officer and takes his weapon? For speeding? She should still be healing from the soap party. No need to access info of any kind.
She will probably win the case, but should have given a fellow officer a break in the first place.

The guy was doing 120. He was in the wrong, she was doing her job. The guy should be thrown off the force, and she should win her lawsuit.
It's old news... It's total bullshit, that cops would do that to their own... it's Obrobro's civilian army at it's worst... coming to us soon.

Yes, he exhibited poor judgement and probably should have lost his job. Was he going 120 on a busy freeway, or a empty road late at night? Makes a difference. Did she radio in and ask why a squad car was going at that speed? She could have deflected the personal responsibility by doing so, how did she know he wasn't on legit business? Makes a difference. Does everyone who gets pulled for speeding get handcuffed these days? The article says the man was apologetic and admitted fault. She sounds, and looks, like a militant unforgiving and inflexible dyke, and you guys are advocating her and her slimy lawyer sucking up half a million or more of taxpayer money.

Try to imagine what this conversation would be like if the speeding cop had lost control at 120 mph and hit a minivan with a family in it. Imaging the justifiable outrage of everyone on this board over a "rogue cop" killing a bunch of kids because he was last for his second job.

And she is not getting the $500K because she pulled over a cop.

She is getting the $500K because - apparently - many dozens of cops accessed her private records so they could heap abuse on her.

I hope every cop that snooped her records gets fined.

Questions worth asking...it doesn't look like 120 was acceptable for that road.

Doesn't matter what she looks like, but if that many cops are looking into her info, there are most likely more questions worth asking, she may not be handling the matter prudently. And anyway you slice it, she is part of an issue that is going to cost taxpayers a shit load. I'm not ready to grant it was impossible for her to keep peace and justice without all this hullaballoo.

There is a role for men and women that was universally accepted by all societies until the last fifty years, and I haven't been convinced yet that they were wrong in the past.
Either you have, or more likely you are unable to think for yourself and tend to spout out what you are supposed to in order to avoid unpleasantness.
