The Legal Outcome: $41,000 Settlement
In early 2023, the City of Danbury settled a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by Reyes for $41,000.
The Lawsuit: Reyes sued the city and several officers, alleging that his Fourth Amendment rights (unreasonable search and seizure) and First Amendment rights (freedom of the press/recording in public) were violated.
The Argument: The core of the legal argument was that "suspicious behavior"—such as recording a government building from a public sidewalk—does not constitute reasonable articulable suspicion (RAS) that a crime is being, has been, or is about to be committed.
The Settlement: While the city did not officially admit to wrongdoing as part of the settlement, the $41,000 payment was made to resolve the claims and avoid further litigation costs.

Cops will never learn because they not held accountable, it almost never affects them personally. They need to loose money off their pensions every time they mess up, remove qualified immunity
