The Kirk Johnson HRM Police thing was settled for 25,000 dollars as far as I know. Not 1 Million.

Yeah looks like the amount is out of wack according to Wiki

Johnson launched a protracted legal battle against the Police. During the enquiry Johnson claimed that he had his car stopped 28 times over five years while in Halifax. Johnson was awarded $10,000 in damages, in addition to $4,790 to cover his travel expenses. The police service was also ordered to create a scholarship in Johnson's name. It will be awarded annually to a student from North Preston.
