Terp suit filed in New Jersey

Some New Jersey authorities are getting sued for allegedly failing to provide interpreters for deaf drivers during traffic stops. John Buccieri Jr. filed the suit against the Toms River Police Department, the New Jersey Attorney General, and the Ocean County Jail.

Officials at the jail did where he was held overnight also failed to provide an interpreter. Read the full story at the New Jersey Law journal.
