That should be illegal

Likely is, but as usual nobody will get criminally indicted, and the taxpayers will end up footing the civil settlement.

Yep, it pisses me off so much that civil officials are largely shielded from being sued from their most blatant offenses and cities/states/counties/the federal government foots the bill instead. Its like... they take someones money via taxes and then give them the money back if they've REALLY fucked up... but you have to sue them over the course of a decade to even get that... like fine the fucking official that made the policy, they'll get a much lower settlement but this shit will be far less prevalent in the future.
