After Miami police officer Jesus Bencomo was caught having sex with a woman in an unmarked police car, he was charged with using a county vehicle for personal business and conduct unbecoming an officer, and subsequently demoted. However, Dade County Commissioners later accepted a deal in which, in return for his early retirement, Bencomo would receive $180,000 and an annual pension of almost $60,000. This came only after Bencomo threatened to charge the department with anti-Hispanic discrimination. Police commissioners said the settlement was cheaper than litigation and keeping him on the payroll.
