US Supreme Court won't hear San Diego police suit - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee: "SAN DIEGO -- The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear the appeal of San Diego police officers who argued they should get overtime for putting on their uniforms.

U-T San Diego ( http://bit.ly/xDT1he) says the court announced Monday that it won't rule on a police union lawsuit filed in 2005.

The federal suit demanded that San Diego pay millions of dollars in overtime and back pay to officers for the time they spent before their shifts putting on uniforms and gear and performing tasks such as answering emails."
