Cobb County will have to pay a woman $100,000 after police arrestested her for swearing.
Amy Barnes sued after she faced charges in 2012 for cursing and flipping off two officers.
Barnes said she was riding her bike on Austell Road to get butter for her family Easter Sunday when she saw the two officers. She said she cursed at them and flipped them off, and they came after her.
"They came after me like it was some action movie,” Barnes said.
Barnes is hearing impaired and said that's the reason police gave her for putting her in solitary confinement for 23 hours on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. She called it torture.
“Having no clock, no person to speak to, empty walls. We need human contact," she said.
Barnes’ lawyer said police officers violated her first amendment rights.
The attorney told Channel 2 Action News Barnes is happy with the outcome.
"To me it was a clear violation of her rights, it shouldn’t have even had to be a trial but a great vindication of the law for everybody,” said attorney Cynthia Counts.

Barnes was arrested by police Easter Sunday 2012. She reportedly rode her bike past two police officers questioning a black suspect outside a convenience store. She shouted, "Cobb police suck" and "frick the police," gave them the bird, and rode off.

$100000 for 23 hours in the hole? Innocent guys getting off death row after 40 years don't get that.
Still an awesome story.

That attorney is getting paid

That's $100k out of the tax payer pockets. Whether she was right or wrong we've got to realize that we are taking our own money away to pay these people off.

quote:agreed. they should fire those 2 police officers and every other law enforcement person who allowed her to be arrested, booked into jail, and left in solitary for 23 hours. That should save them more than $100k, especially when they don't have to pay out for those future mistakes these officers would've surely made again.

Hmm I'm in Cobb County I'm going to start cursing out every officer I see in hopes they will arrest me. I'll finally be able to afford the addition to my house I've been saving for and even have some change left over!

Why would she even do that in the first place?
