Michelle Lucas, a community activist and grandmother of four, was devastated when she was charged with two felonies for allegedly passing a counterfeit bill. Our investigation uncovered evidence that forced prosecutors to admit the police had made a mistake and had an unexpected impact on her case.

I don't think they care
Thanks Taya and Stephen great job ðŸ‘
Deputy Dogs and Barney Fifes want everybody in jail. They think everybody needs to be locked up.
That's a Secret Service issue, She should have called the Secret Service and said the local deputy dogs are pretending to be fed agents.
AT THE END — DOUBLE THAT PAYOUT.
THAT EXCUSE THE COP SPOUTED WAS PURE AND SIMPLE RETALIATION BULLSXXT .
SHE SHOULD SUE AND NEVER HAVE TO WORK EVER AGAIN — CRIMINAL COPS AND PROSECUTORS SHOULD BE JAILED NO LESS.
COPS HAVE NOTHING TO DO — THAT IS WHY THEY PICK ON ANY PERSON WHO THEY SEE AS VULNERABLE — A LOT EASIER THAN INVESTIGATION ANY CRIME.
"Well check" my ass…more like fishing trip.
She needs to get the arrest sealed or removed from her record.
Yea, Kudos to the channel and your successful efforts to win one for the avg Joe/Jane.
When people truly understand the immense power of the State through its injustices, they know intuitively that the State must be dismantled.
Fire the cop. He is a tyrant and the chief of police should step down. Sue and Sue hard.
Taya, you summed up in those two words, "pointedly cruel," what has made me so angry when I've watched sooooooo many videos of police, and DAs, infliction of obvious hate and racism on the average citizen. It is truly outrageous! Your summation to the Somerset police is incredible! And while you live in Maryland, I hate to disparage your State, but I have also lived there and personally experienced the horrible malfeasance of the police, the courts, and the lawyers. So glad I don't live there anymore but with that realization in my back pocket, I truly commend you for staying, sticking it out, and reporting on it!
Passing a counterfeit note ALONE is not criminal. It MUST be done with the INTENT to defraud. Intent is a PART of every counterfeit statute.
That is why they are CALLED PUBLIC PRETENDERS
Y'all are heros! That PD is either incompetent, or evil.
Don't write that they 'missed' anything. They wrote it down themselves. They just want to arrest/attack, and she was the most vulnerable target they found. Cops don't care about guilty/innocent, and they sure as hell won't investigate anything for a normal person.
Should never ever have gone that far poor lady , and fancy them telling her to plead guilty DISGUSTING cretins .
I don't feel sorry for her because she was stupid enough to listen to the cops and a public defender.
