TINICUM TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) — An Apple Studios manufacturing goes to close down a portion of Route 113 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania for almost all of two weeks beginning on Valentine’s Day.
PennDOT introduced Friday that Apple Studios, LLC shall be filming on Route 113 (Bedminster Street) in Bedminster and Tinicum townships starting Tuesday, Feb. 14.
PennDOT says:
“Tuesday, February 14 by means of Saturday, February 18, and Tuesday, February 21 by means of Thursday, February 23, from 4:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Route 113 (Bedminster Street) shall be closed with flagging between Route 611 (Easton Street) and Deer Run Street.

Giant vehicles shall be directed to make use of Route 113 (Bedminster Street), Route 313 (Dublin Pike), and Route 611 (Easton Street).”
PennDOT says native entry shall be maintained as much as the work zone.
Drivers are suggested to permit further time when touring close to the work space as a result of backups and delays will happen.
All scheduled actions are weather-dependent, PennDOT says.
Motion Information has reached out to Apple to substantiate the manufacturing that’s being filmed.

Pennsylvania ranks third for police misconduct settlement cases

Perry’s story may help understand some of the findings of a Whitley Law Firm study, originating in North Carolina, that analyzed police misconduct settlement figures nationwide, documenting patterns and covering numerous jurisdictions.
According to the study, Pennsylvania has paid more than $59 million total for four police misconduct settlements, from 2010 to 2014, ranking the commonwealth third-highest (an average of $14.8 million per settlement) in the nation for large payout amounts.
New York leads the nation in settlement costs, averaging $73 million per case and ultimately exceeding $1.1 billion in total settlements.
A closer look at Philadelphia
In Philadelphia, the study showed the city paid $54 million for police misconduct cases settled between 2010 and 2014.
The family of Walter Wallace Jr. received a $2.5 million settlement in 2021, a year after Wallace was fatally shot by police while experiencing a mental health crisis near his home in Cobbs Creek.
However, Wallace family attorney Shaka Johnson called the payment “cheap” in some respects, noting that the family has the right to use the funds to honor Walter’s memory. His death, which occurred months after the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota, further fueled demands for police reform. Floyd’s death in May 2020 sparked nationwide protests and calls for accountability.
Similarly, Wallace’s killing deeply affected Philadelphia residents, prompting demands for changes in law enforcement policies, training and accountability measures.
The Whitley study underscores the steep costs of misconduct settlements and the systemic issues they expose. The report highlighted the need for preventative issues, such as improved policies and police training, to reduce wrongful deaths.
“Every dollar spent on a misconduct settlement is a dollar that could have been invested in community resources, safety initiatives, and police training,” the report states. “It’s critical that we work to ensure these settlements become rare, not routine.”
The cases of Wallace and Floyd stand as stark reminders of the urgent need for systemic reforms to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
Michael Collins, senior director of state and local policy for social justice nonprofit Color of Change, blames the high number of misconduct payment settlements on strong police unions in this country.
“The Fraternal Order of Police, which acts to protect indefensible cop behavior, they will negotiate as part of the contract ways in which account is very watered down,” Collins told WHYY News in an interview. “They will, you know, protect officers who are tied to, like, white supremacists. They will protect officers who have previously engaged in misconduct, they will erect obstacles that do not occur for investigations into regular members of the public.”
