This is an important case if someone wants to suit against City of Memphis or Shelby County.
PENNY LAWSON ET AL. v. HAWKINS COUNTY, TENNESSEE ET AL. (link)
Mr. Hwang has a different opinion about some parts of this case, but the Supreme Court of Tennessee has the supreme jurisdiction to interpret the laws in Tennessee.
Mr. Hwang noticed that the courts in Tennessee almost always side with big corporations and governmental entities.
They don’t side with indivisuals.
Maybe because there is such possibilities that the big corporations already sent such judges into the Supreme Court of Tennessee who could side with them.
However, if you want to suit against City of Memphis (including Memphis Police Departemtn) or Shelby County, the understanding of this case is still helpful or informative.
You should read this case if you want to suit against local governments or their employees.
