So for an hour the police searched the mans car for drugs but failed to find any. Then the man filed a law suit to the police department. So the plaintiffs did a history check on the police department on I-95 and found out that the police have been stoping Hispanics and African American there a lot and equal protection cause and the fourth amendment.

So then as the court went on the judge told the police department to sent a copy of all TTPD vehicle stops to a plaintiffs attorneys office. And settled the case by the police department paying 150,000$ in damage.
