yeah, the lawyers and whatnot all talked about it and i probably could have had a settlement of upwards of 40k euros for the excessive force, but i knew that was probably going to be a 5 year long drama and i wouldn't have been able to return to my beloved new home bulgaria without being harassed by them

probably turned out to my advantage because after i returned from a year homeless in the netherlands, the sofia cops picked me up a few times as i was roaming around homeless and then never talked to me again, almost like half the offices in the city had all seen my photo and heard my story

as far as i am aware, my case won them a giant grant from Europol to "fight the dark web"
