GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The City of Grand Rapids is responding to a lawsuit that pits the city against its police union and a fired lieutenant over calls recorded on a phone line officers believed to be non-recorded.
The calls on those line involved the traffic stop of a former assistant prosecutor who, despite saying he had been drinking, was not given a breathalyzer test.
Now, the city has filed a 72-page response to the allegations that it was purposefully recording police on a private line and is now using those recordings against them in violation of federal wiretapping laws.
