Dozens of current and retired New Jersey police officers say they deserve to be paid overtime for attending daily roll calls and putting on their uniforms each day, despite a judge’s ruling rejecting their claim.

The officers' lawsuit sought overtime, compensation for reporting to two daily roll calls — 10 minutes before the start of their tours and 10 minutes after, a period known as muster time — and for "donning and doffing" uniforms and equipment each day.

What do you think? Should the officers be paid overtime for this?
