[Moya v. City of New Brunswick, 90 N.J. 491, 500-01 , 448 A.2d 999 (1982) (footnote omitted).] In other words, so long as a defendant’s “status” as a police officer was the reason the officer was a defendant in a lawsuit, the Court construed N.J.S.A. 40A:14-155 to require a municipality to provide the officer with a defense. 2005They are sometimes made, and often without foundation, against someone, not because he or she did anything at all, but solely and primarily because of his or her identity or status as a police officer.
