The East Providence Police Department will get a $60 million payment from Google. Don't get too excited though as the money can only be used for "law enforcement" and cannot go to the accumulated schools or city deficit.

Google was found liable for allowing online Canadian pharmacies to place advertisements through its AdWords advertising program targeting consumers in the United States, resulting in the unlawful importation of controlled and non-controlled prescription drugs into the United States.

East Providence Police participated in the investigation.
