    5:25 how did they settle a case for $200K over a cow in the road?? New Mexico is an Open Range State!!!!!! New Mexico has an "open range" law. That means if you live near cattle, sheep or other livestock and do not want them on your property it is your responsibility to keep them off through lawful means. It also means livestock are free to roam wherever, including on roadways. And…if you hit a cow or some other livestock, and assuming you survive, you can be sued by the animal's owner for damage.

  • @crazyknarf

    I can recall working as a temp in a town in NJ (1980's). The attorney hired for a lawsuit on the town and the fee for his services? $500,000 Per day! plus expenses.
    Some court cases can go from 2 to 3 days to almost an entire month. The attorney defending the town always wanted to delay the court hearing over and over again. This IMO is the way this man was able to more money the more days he worked, the more money he and his firm would get.
    So paying settlements is a whole lot cheaper then pay the attorney fees that are out of the world. It's paying the lesser of the claims.
    And if the township/state/school/university lost the cases that could have cost them millions of dollars in tax payer money.

    Why are there no settlements being investigated for police violations and being settled with tax payers funds without firing the cops responsible or their supervisors? I think if you looked into all the cases across NM for 10 tears it would make these look like school kids lunch money. Police unions, police themselves are never ever held responsible. They should be made to carry their own liability insurance for one reason, that reason is because police killings that where not justified are not part of their job description. Police violating people’s civil rights are not part of their job descriptions, so why should the tax payers pay for something that they do not want their police doing? End Qualified Immunity and make all cops carry their own liability insurance. After violating someone’s rights and the insurance company paying out I highly doubt the cops will be able to pay their premiums. Good cops have nothing to worry about, do your job correctly and you have nothing to worry about.
