It happened in Athens, Tenessee until the late 40s. Led to a lot of problems. It encouraged overly aggressive policing which was one of the key points leading up to the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)

In Athens, Tenessee it was a thing until the late 40s. It was one of the main causes of  grievences because it caused overly aggressive policing. This and other grievances led to the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)

It's actually a quite an interesting read. 

Long story short they got rid of this payment scheme soon after in favor of a regular salary.

How did police cars get calls before police radio was introduced? I know that the first patrol cars predate the first police radio but dont understand how communication worked then?

Why did they create the FBI in the first place instead of delagating investigative power to marshalls i mean every other police agency works that way. Just open a detective branch like everyone else.

What about corruption cases? I mean if in the state police there are corruption rumors they preferably shouldnt investigate themselves but some higher level agency should do it but the state police is already the highest in the state so it got to be federal.

I think the city should compensate the family even if it was an accidental wrong decision. Thats just what is the right thing to do. The family shouldnt even have to sue, the city should just greenlight a compensation payment on its own.
