Amazing.. If true I imagine those charges would eventually be dropped with an agreement of community service and a signed waiver that they will not sue the police dept.

 

What would the basis of a lawsuit against the police be?

Disorderly conduct.

 

No surprise there. Misdemeanor. Community service correct?

It is a misdemeanor. I would assume service is in their near future (along with gassers and 100-yard rolls).

 

Serious question, and I apologize if I should know the answer to this, but are you an attorney?

 

I am not and I don't claim to be. But my stepfather was named one of the top defense attorneys in the state by the KBA before he retired. From my time with him I have learned a lot about state laws and how the system works.

Sue the police? For what? MTGL this post answers your last question.

 

It's not the police who file the charges. And regardless if they intentional committed an act to close the campus/lock isn't down, they were reckless.

The notion of a season long suspension is laughable. That's just not gonna happen.

 

No one can answer the question of how a shot fired from an air soft gun sounds like that of a pistol. Either there is more to the story, or a very unlikely coincidence.

I heard a guy on the radio today say that if it was a COs air gun it would make a louder sound.

Then you would know that attempting to sue the police dept won't go anywhere, as the police dept doesn't decide what charges are going to be put against a person.

They will be charged with 2nd degree disorderly conduct.

 

Here's the wording of that:

Not too long ago:

 

As you stated for the 11 year old, it will not end well for these players. And it does mean a big deal when you are the cause for an entire major university campus being put lock-down.

 

That was a direct threat. There is a difference between that and induced panic due to a possible threat, which turned out to be no threat at all.

 

What would the basis of a lawsuit against the police be?

 

I doubt there would be a lawsuit, but I imagine if a plea is reached there will be an aggreement that the pd cannot be sued in the future. They just like to keep their bases covered in that sense.

 

As far as grounds for lawsuit, without knowing all of the details it could fall under the defemation of character, or harrassment catagory. Doubt that it would happen, but like I said, if a plea is reached the pd will want to make sure it can't come back to haunt them.

It happens all the time, people sue people over anything now, winning in court is a different story

 

I don't want to get to far off topic, but I will tell you that I was charged with dui years ago, but I was not driving the car, my girlfriend was. I hired a good attorney and swore to them I was not driving, but I had been drinking. He subpoened video from nearby parking lot cameras that showed me getting out of the passenger side of the car at the time the police stopped us. Took it to trial and on the day of jury selection I was told that the charges would be dropped if I signed a waiver that I could not sue the police department in the future.

 

I had no intent of suing them, but people do sue for less of a reason I had.

 

But the police aren't the one who bring the charges...

 

Who is bringing up the charges? If they were not arrested and charged by police a grand jury would have to charge them. If that's the case you could change police to Fayette County in my response, it works either way.

 

So, you'd be cool with, say, 30,000 guns on UK's campus? Serious question.

 

I'd be ok with the same concealed carry laws that apply to the rest of the state. How often are people with CCDW shooting people in this state for no reason? If I had kids in college I'd want a good guy with a gun there ready to shoot any school shooter with intentions to slaughter unarmed kids. Otherwise it's just another "gun free zone" where the only people with guns are those willing to break the law. These gun free zone have not stopped school shooters yet...have they?
