My state has no punitives. At all. (Well, they do let you get some if you drunk drive and hurt someone, but I think the max is about 5 times damages, and nobody has gotten more than a six figure award for it yet)
Federal civil rights cases can get them, but the federals courts make it very very hard to prove that the police department did anything wrong as an official policy. You can get an award against the bad cop(s) individually, but they can't pay on their salary, so it is largely a paperless threat.
I'd never get a rolls. I might fund a scholarship or give a shit load to the Hefer Project - and I'm not talking bout Xcountryrunner's gf.
