Undercover Cops in High School

[Mrs. MD, Esq.]

I wonder how much this debacle cost and who is paying for it. (to say nothing of the emotional costs to the kids involved!)

They end up making money usually, so they're motivated to pull this crap. They're literally causing irreparable damage to these kids. It's awful to get a little more funding.

It's just so wrong. I can't understand how that wouldn't be entrapment.

It is...I'm sure that's why the cases got thrown out!

Undercover Cops in High School

Making money? Wait, there are financial incentives for districts to target vulnerable special needs students?!

[Mrs. MD, Esq.]

Making money? I'm pretty sure the cops' incentive was to pad their arrest records with easy marks. The parents' incentive to sue is to pay for their attorneys' fees for the bullshit they've already had to deal with and to make districts think twice before pulling this stupidity on others.

That's my point. They get money from the government for the more arrests that they make.

Not only should the cases be thrown out --- the police officer(s) involved, their superiors who signed off on their plans and the school administrators who were complicit should all lose their jobs *at the very least*. I'd say it sounds like some of them should also be prosecuted.

But it said only the one boy the article focused on was released. The other special needs kids were not released.
