“A Champlin couple won a $90,000 award from a U.S. District Court jury after police snatched a pair of Skechers shoes off their porch during an illegal search while they slept. ‘It should send a chill down anyone’s spine,’ said homeowner Ron Rosen Thursday in an interview about the case, which also included a search of his house two weeks later. ‘I did nothing to precipitate this except live in proximity to where a burglary occurred.’ The city disputes the judge’s finding that the porch search was illegal and said it will contest the jury award.”
