The following excerpt is from Giddens v. Suisun City, No. 2:14-cv-0943 AC (PS) (E.D. Cal. 2015):
the court to infer that the police department had a policy of arresting plaintiff for disturbing the peace while declining to arrest his neighbors even when they were guilty of the same offense. See City of Oklahoma City v. Tuttle, 471 U.S. 808, 820-24 (1985) (single instance of unconstitutional conduct does not, alone, permit the inference that it was the result of a custom or policy).
