I know an Italian family that sued a city and police department, partially for this reason. The suit showed a pattern of unlawful targeting and malicious prosecution through various incidents. The suit also levied a count of violating the14th amendment rights of the family because the cops called the dad a “wop” in front of his family and also defaming them to other members of the community by saying they are part of the mafia. I believe they parties settled for 6 figures in like 2015 or 2016. Gotta love the south for it’s good old fashioned (anti-Italian) discrimination.
