 OAKLAND, CA (KGO) -- The city of Oakland has agreed to pay out millions of dollars because of mistakes made by the police force. In some cases, those mistakes were outright lies. The $6.5 million settlement is the result of lawsuits over cops who reportedly gave false information in order to get search warrants. More than 100 people had joined in that lawsuit. Some will get more money, some will get less -- it all depends on their cases. All of the cases came out in 2008 and the lawsuits claim the judges were given false information by the Oakland Police Department, in order to obtain search warrants. Back in 2008 one Oakland home was raided by Oakland police.
