A Trooper Stopped a Speeding Miami Cop. Then 88 Officers Looked Up Her Private Information.

Florida Turnpike, October 2011: Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Donna Jane Watts chases and handcuffs off-duty Miami police officer Fausto Lopez on her dash camera. 

Then a newspaper tests her words with toll records and wins a Pulitzer, Lopez is fired, and 88 officers look up her private information. 

This is the whole story, with what the federal appeals court decided in 2017 and what it did not decide.
