(To be fair, the incident included more than just taser abuse.)
An jury ordered the city of Portland, OR to pay $55,000 to Frank Waterhouse, Jr. He was shot with beanbags, zapped with a taser and jailed after he videotaped Portland police officers searching for a jaywalker. Mr. Waterhouse was acquitted in Multnomah County Circuit Court of disorderly conduct and criminal trespass [cover] charges in October 2006. [LINK]
Baser on the "2006", there must be quite the backlog of similar lawsuits.
