New York City will pay a total of $180,000 to three Muslim women who were forced to take off their hijabs for mug shots, the Daily News has learned.
Settlements in the three cases were filed Monday in Brooklyn federal court, with the lawsuits spurring new NYPD procedures on photographing people donning religious head coverings.
The cases date back as far as 2012, when a Brooklyn high school girl identified as “G.E.” was arrested after a scuffle with two girls she thought were spreading rumors about her.
The criminal case was dismissed, but it was the initial mug shots that mattered in the civil rights case that followed.
Her suit said she felt “exposed, violated and distraught” being forced to take off her headscarf for some 20 minutes as male police and prisoners watched.

You does the crime, you does the time…… Mugshot is part of that. If you do not wish to remove your….. whatever for a mugshot, simply avoid being arrested.

Yep, seems there’s a pretty simple solution to this – don’t get arrested.
This is ridiculous. I just can’t stand that anyone would reward these people.
“The criminal case was dismissed, but it was the initial mug shots that mattered in the civil rights case that followed.”
remember to file the “civil rights” case after your arrest, because that’s where the money is !
oh, don’t forget to claim minority status first or it won’t pay. liberal juries and judges don’t pay out to white people.
I don’t agree with the payout but I understand it. It’s cheaper to settle out of court with a payout than to pay an attorney for a long, drawn out civil trial.
What I don’t understand and what I find infuriating is the policy change at NYPD.
They should be stoned for being immodest.
NY City has attorneys on staff and others on retainer.
It wasn’t the money or time to try the case, the payoff was the progressive thing to do and appease a growing population of islamic voters.
Throwing tax dollars at “special” interest groups for allegiance in the next election is a way of life in metropolitan cities. It’s all about power and control.
I can’t wait until the BIG ONE finally hits… & NYC slides off into the Atlantic… 😡
Maybe there’s a use for those expensive TSA millimeter wave body scanners after all. Take full body mug shots with them and publish the image online next to the hijabbed head photo.
Sooooo … If I claim to be a Sikh in NYC I can keep my turban on and my knife in my belt before, during, and after my arrest and processing?
Good for the goose; good for the gander – right?

Who ever made this decision should pay out of pocket. Those women have no right to bring their customs and values to the US. If they don’t want to become Americans, get the fuck out. Take their dumb ass prayer rugs with them.
What a phucking joke! The joke is on the taxpayers. These lawyers and judges piss money away . The City is an easy mark. Fugetaboutit!
Keyboard freezing this morning.
Invariably, these mooslima hijabi sharmutas will have more makeup plastered on their hideous bovine faces than a painted whore. (Source: see Linda Sarsour). But, allah forbid, they should have to remove the rag from their head, exposing their nasty, greasy, sweaty hair. Yeah, that might attract male attention.
bleeding from somewhere under the hagebage and unconscious? well good luck with that.
Next time one of their husbands beat, stab or shoot one of them and their ass goes to a hospital they should be told we respect your religion. Therefore we can’t take you out of your garbage bag and treat you.

The next similar lawsuit will involve burkas.
Their male slave masters will take the money from them since they are they property of those males. Good! That’s what you get for living the life of a slave as a member of a perverted death cult called Islam.
Remove the hijab; see and smell the goat.
(Surah 69: The Bliss)
Little wonder the filthy fukkin ragheads can’t keep their dresses down – with the aroma of goat-ass in the air.
