MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) - A Vermont man arrested in 2018 for allegedly flipping off a trooper has settled a lawsuit against the Vermont State Police.
In a lawsuit later filed by the ACLU, the group says that after he was detained and questioned, Bombard cursed and did give the trooper the finger. The trooper arrested him for disorderly conduct, a charge that was dismissed a year later.

This is not a new thing. People have won settlements many times in the past for being arrested for flipping off cops. In CA I think someone was awarded multiple millions of dollars for it.
Step one: Become friendly with cop.
Step two: Cop friend pulls you over.
Step three: Flip off cop friend to get arrested.
Step four: Get settlement, get married to one another, and run off to Barbados together.
Step five: Argue about how the money went away too fast.
Step six: Get divorced, sell your body for drugs.
Step seven: Flip off a Barbados cop to get arrested.
Step eight: Spend the rest of your days in a Caribbean prison.
I was hoping for more of a Weekend at Bernies spin on this. Can we get a Step 6.5 where your dead ex is used in an insurance scam?
Step 6.5: Sacrifice the wrong kind of bird and now your dead ex will only dance their way to the buried treasure if you play the right kind of music
You missed the part where the cop husband beats you in the Bahamas after you get married.
Wanna talk about it, Sport 🥸
I mean, why do you need a friend-cop?
Just a one night stand will do.
They probably gave him a really good beating too of it was the LAPD
And every time, the taxpayer foots the bill. Until the funds start coming from police pensions, nothing is going to change.
