Well...here's one guy who's grateful to (ex) Sheriff Joe:

Restaurateur whose business was raided by sheriff gets $3.1M

Maricopa County officials approved a $3.1 million settlement Wednesday with a restaurant owner in metro Phoenix who claimed in a lawsuit that then-Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s office had defamed him and violated his rights about seven years ago when investigating whether employees at his restaurants used fraudulent IDs to get jobs.
The settlement with Uncle Sam’s owner Bret Frimmel came two weeks after officials signed off on a separate $400,000 settlement to resolve similar claims brought by Uncle Sam’s manager Lisa Norton.
Frimmel and Norton were arrested by Arpaio’s office in January 2014 on employment-related identity theft charges that were dismissed after a judge ruled one of Arpaio’s detective recklessly disregarded the truth in affidavits used to get search warrants and ultimately found that there was no probable cause to back up the warrants. Frimmel and Norton maintained they did nothing wrong.

As I've long noted, state officials can't enforce immigration.

Sounds like the plaintiffs won because the police made a mistake in getting the warrant.

It doesn't mean the plaintiffs were innocent.

recklessly disregarded the truth in affidavits

A reckless disregard of the truth isn't just a mistake.

So the restaurant owner was guilty and the employees were hired on the basis of faked I.D.'s but the warrant was faulty. Too bad nobody was left in the Branch Dividian compound when the Feds used a faulty warrant to burn the place down.

It’s ‘Sheriff’ Joe.

It remains to be seen if the owner was guilty.,..no one has proven he knew jack about any 'faked' papers. (ex) Sheriff Joe fucked up..and cost his county millions..not the first time either.

I don't have a clue as to why you trolled some other unrelated BS..it didn't help your point..

Recklessly disregarding the truth in affidavits isn’t a ‘mistake.’

And no one said they were innocent.

What is he Sheriff of?

And no one has proven that they are guilty either...the point is moot..and the money will spend.

A faulty warrant is in the eye of the politically appointed judge. The restaurant owner was arrested so it's presumed that the Sheriff had enough evidence to prove that he had knowledge of the crime but it's a moot point since the warrant was thrown out.

The reprehensible right – always trying to defend the indefensible.

‘Sheriff’ as in he has nothing but contempt for the law.

It’s also irrelevant, given the fact that Arpaio’s detective obtained a meritless warrant in bad faith.

Do the words "bad faith" sound like a legal opinion? More like a political opinion based on a lot of cash floating around Maricopa county by affluent restaurant owners who depend on illegals for employment. Get my meaning?

The key word is that this was a SETTLEMENT, not a judgment at all.

Libs just using government funds to pay off one of their supporters, using this lawsuit as a pretext.

Just like when DeBlasio used NYC tax dollars to make a payment to the Central Park 5, the minority fellows who confessed to a heinous crime but found someone else to take the blame. DeBlasio wanted to make a payment, and also to enrich the trial lawyers involved, and had a legal basis.
