NY Post - Busty former Playboy Playmate Stephanie Adams was awarded $1.2 million yesterday after a Manhattan civil jury ruled she was the victim of excessive force by the NYPD. “I waited six years for this,” an emotional Adams said after the jury gave her $350,000 more than her lawyer had asked for from the 2006 run-in with cops, which was sparked when a cabby told cops the first openly lesbian Playmate threatened to shoot him — even though she sat in the back of his cab in a skimpy, skintight outfit that could barely conceal a cigarette lighter. The astrologer niece of a former New Jersey police commissioner, Adams said she was traumatized by the manhandling by cops and by having guns pointed at her — despite her own Web site indicating she has lots of experience handling weapons. In one photo, she’s behind the wheel of an NYPD patrol car, in others she’s shooting rifles — and in another, she’s dressed as a foxy cop, wearing short shorts and a midriff-baring low-cut top with a police belt and hat, while holding up a 9mm handgun. The city had contended police followed proper procedure and Adams’ claims of being traumatized by the incident were overblown — citing the sexy pictures of the former centerfold with guns on her Web site, Goddessy.com.  A juror who asked not to be identified called the pictures “a smokescreen,” and said that for the panel, the smoking gun was the spine and neck injuries the spirituality writer suffered in the incident. Adams testified that the driver started cursing at her and threatening her, so she called 911 for help — and the crazed cabby followed suit, but made up a tale that she had threatened to shoot him. Five officers were sent to the scene on high alert, and Adams had several guns pointed at her by plainclothes cops. She testified that they searched her bags and, despite her following their orders not to move and to keep her hands up, one of them shoved her face down in the street, and kept her there with pressure on her neck and her lower back.

I love the NYPD on this one. Tremendous defense. She had slutty pictures of herself in cop uniforms with guns so clearly she wasn’t traumatized when 5 cops took aim at her and mashed her face into the ground. Everyone knows sluts aren’t nearly as traumatized by life threatening police activity! Like one day some chick is gonna accuse the NYPD of police brutality and their defense is gonna be that she was in a Barstool Blackout video making out with another girl. Your honor this woman is clearly exaggerating the physical and emotional trauma inflicted by these officers – Id like to submit Exhibit A – here she is at Miami of Ohio kissing another girl while DJ Dante The Don pours water on her head at the Barstool Blackout tour. Clearly promiscuous. Cleary not traumatized by getting assaulted by men with guns.
