A California lawmaker is suing Sacramento police for falsely accusing her of driving under the influence, saying the case may have been motivated by her tough-on-cops legislation or possibly because she is Latina and LGBTQ+. State Sen. Sabrina Cervantes filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Sacramento and several police officers, alleging she was falsely arrested and subjected to an unlawful blood draw following a car crash in May of last year.
