From the article:
"The constable collected the $13 fare from the girls to pass on to Yasa. He took the money but gave it back the next day, because he wanted police to pursue charges against the girls. That didn't happen, so he filed the lawsuit."
What would be interesting to find out is why exactly that didn't happen. I would suggest that the police thought it was unimportant what the cab driver had said and simply disregarded it. Imagine if it was the other way around... the video was the only thing that saved that cab driver.
And people wonder why the police are not to be trusted...
