Tamon Robinson died in April after he was struck by an NYPD squad car during a chase in which Robinson attempted to flee from police. Now the cops want his family to pay up. Robinson’s mother, Laverne Dobbinson, was sent a bill for $710 by a collection agency hired by the city to pay for repairs to the car that struck her son. The city said it would file a lawsuit if the debt was not paid. Police allege that Robinson was caught stealing decorative stones from a Brooklyn housing project and was struck by the car — his death was ruled accidental — during a subsequent chase.

There is no basis in U.S. law for the mother to be charged, unless he was driving her vehicle with her permission.

.....on foot???? New York City should issue a formal apology!!! And the mother should consider pursuing a wrongful death suit to a higher level court...surely there is an attorney who would take it on contingency to pursue fame (and wealth on other cases.
That is just wrong!
Well, they did issue an apology for the bill, at least. He was 27, so not a minor. I just googled his name for the info.
i strongly suspect the apology was issued to avoid further litigation -- or a riot.
