Soon after Denise Huskins' boyfriend told the Vallejo Police Department that she had been abducted in late March, police officials called her disappearance part of a hoax.

More than two months later, in early June, the FBI arrested a Harvard-educated former attorney, Matthew Muller, 38, of Orangevale, Calif., in connection with Huskins' kidnapping.

Huskins and her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, filed a legal claim Thursday against the city of Vallejo over what they call "false and unfair accusations" made by police that the couple faked the woman's kidnapping.

"Instead of focusing on finding the true perpetrator... and protecting the community from a violent predator, [police] instead intentionally destroyed the lives and reputations of these two innocent victims," the claim said.

1. If they are hoping to get restitution from this, they are shit out of luck

Vallejo is bankrupt.

3. Good point

But have they kept up their insurance payments?

4. I would think if they didnt do that, the state would take them over.

I dont live in CA, but I'm sure there is a state law about cities carrying liability insurance.
But hey, who knows? They'd arrest YOU for driving uninsured, but THEY may very well be allowing all THEIR people to drive city vehicles without any!

5. Yeah, I have no idea, but it's an interesting question.
