What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
we filed a letter of racism against a supervisor in our dept. the city got the letter. the supervisor confessed to the remark and was terminated. the then the city found out we sent the letter after came after us. we retained a lawyer before we was terminated...the city then tried to find out who wrote the letter, they came down to the meter shop and questioned all employees who wrote the letter and who sent the letter, no one ever mentioned GPS or time sheets. well no one admitted to the letters not even us. they found out we wrote the letter after the lawyer sent the mayors a demands letter to stop and desist the terminations. that didn't happen. since they realized they couldn't come after us for the letter, they decided to use the GPS on the city trucks we worked in to track us. we did nothing wrong we was working in the city at the time they GPS us. the city filled a summary judgment against us, it was denied. Here is a copy:

our lawyer is now tell us we need to settle this case before the judge give a D.V.
we need to know if he is telling us the truth or the city has made a deal with him to pay his fee and dump us.
My bad, what I meant was is this possible and can the judge do this? what would be our other options at this point.
