You mean the taxpayers just paid the plaintiffs. No matter how badly police screw up only innocent people seem to pay for it and the burden seems to always fall on the people who can least afford it.

One way to curb this is to make these fines come out of the pension plan for these officers instead of the general budget (ie. taxpayers). This would better align incentives.
