===2013 civil rights case=== In September 2013, a federal suit was filed by Laura Dutton, alleging that the cities of Estelline and Memphis, former Officer Jayson Fry and Memphis Police Chief Chris Jolly violated her Fourth Amendment rights against illegal search and seizure when she was arrested November 28, 2012, in Estelline on a felony money laundering charge, seizing more than $29,000 from her pickup and keeping $1,400 of her cash. The city maintained no written records of past searches or seizures, yet traffic fines and forfeitures made up more than 89 percent of its gross revenues in fiscal year 2012. The cities and the officers denied her claims, but in July 2014, the city of Estelline and City of Memphis authorities settled with Dutton for $77,500.<ref name="settle"/><ref>[http://blog.motorists.org/worst-speed-trap-city/ Worst Speed Trap Lives Up To Its Name] motorists.org Retrieved 2014-09-03.</ref><ref>[http://www.forfeiturereform.com/texas_town_settles_suit_with_cash_seizure_victim_after_revealing_that_89_of_its_revenues_came_from_fines_and_forfeitures Texas town settles suit with 64-year-old cash seizure victim after revealing that 89% of its revenues came from fines and forfeitures] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328173933/http://www.forfeiturereform.com/texas_town_settles_suit_with_cash_seizure_victim_after_revealing_that_89_of_its_revenues_came_from_fines_and_forfeitures |date=2016-03-28 }} forfeiturereform.com Retrieved 2014-09-03.</ref>
