Unnamed Officer – Orem Department of Public Safety

Written by CBKN76

In 2010, an officer issued a disorderly conduct citation to Seth Dame after Dame made a rude gesture (middle finger) towards the officer. The American Civil Liberties Union of Utah filed a lawsuit on behalf of Dame, claiming violations of his First and Fourth Amendment rights. The case was settled in 2012 for $5,000, and the settlement required the department to provide regular First Amendment training to its officers.

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.
