    ACLU Follows Through on Threat to Sue Sheriff Joe

    Dan Pochoda of ACLU Follows Through on Threat to Sue Sheriff Joe Arpaio Over Arrest
    Fri Nov 07, 2008 at 02:59:25 PM

    By Ray Stern

    Dan Pochoda, legal director of the ACLU's local chapter, wants some payback for his unwarranted arrest and 11-hour jailing last year by Maricopa County sheriff's deputies.

    Pochoda (pictured) filed a notice of claim to the county in May, saying he was seeking $400,000 in damages. In September, a judge vindicated him in the trespassing charges. And this week, Pochoda and his lawyers filed a lawsuit against Sheriff Joe Arpaio and three deputies involved in Pochoda's case.

    You can read the entire lawsuit here. (Note that the Web site that provided this link, www.courthousenews.com, errs in its article about Pochoda -- he's not really seeking $20 million).

    "It's not to get rich," Pochoda says of the lawsuit. "It's to hold people accountable."

    Hold Arpaio accountable? The guy who just won big in Tuesday's election? These liberal ACLU types are such wild-eyed dreamers...

    It seems like Pochoda instigated his own arrest for tresspassing. $400,000 for 11 hours being held in the pokey? This is a typical bait and sue case. Pochoda doesnt deserve a dime.

    jimpaz posted an update on this story and it just happens to be a year later, in the same month. I was confused by this too.

    "It's not to get rich," Pochoda says of the lawsuit. "It's to hold people accountable."
    Right, it's not about holding people accountable, it's about getting rich and getting even retaliation. There is no justice to be had in what this man is doing. None.
