Here in Iowa, just up the road from me. As previosly reported in local papers, a 69 year old truck driver was pulled over by a DOT vehicle enforcement officer after he was seen pulling over into a non truck area. The truck driver says the officer approached the truck, said driver began asking for directions, as he was obviously lost, and the officer began pistol whipping him. Said attack was video taped by another truck drivers wife in an adjacent lot. The truck driver sued, and the court system just threw out his case on these grounds..."a suit cannot be filed against the state if it is based on "any claim arising out of assault, battery, false imprisonment, false arrest, malicious prosecution, abuse of process, libel, slander, misrepresentation, deceit or inteerference with contract rights."WOW! For REAL?!! Read them slowly, and consider each one carefully. Doesn't this give carte blanche for any officer to do anything they want to a citizen? Am I missing something here? I've read the article 4 times and can't find anything different to conclude. What about police brutality and corruption? No repercussions or responsibilities?! Seriously, can someone out there more familiar with the law (and I know you're out there) give me a better understanding of what is going on here?

It just meands ,,,they will be glad to take your money .if you decide to sue!Itall so much B.S. i paid a court system $675.00 for catching a bad guyand i got 6 months probation, [had no idea how that worked] who was stripping my sons "Banshee"4-wheeler, and i'm your model citizen, up til now they could not even find so much as a parking ticket on me.Law basically sucks! but we are all better off..........gosh it hurts me to say thathaving it than not. jmo
