The case was taken up by the state Division of Criminal Investigation and was under review for possible prosecution.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
