This cop was embarrassed when the video of him acting like an idiot went viral. He responded by writing a false report claiming we had threatened his life by recording him and the police station.
When the chief found out the local cop watchers were the “suspects” he got together with the DA, Sheriff, and his detectives to charge everyone in the car with felony organized crime. Everyone got a $100,000 bond. The two locals had to spend a month in jail until a real judge reduced their bond by 90%.
The dumbass DA forgot that this is an enhancement charge and didn’t tell the chief he needed an underlying charge too. The same judge who reduced the bonds looked at the indictments and quashed them for failing to state a criminal offense, let alone meeting the elements.
A new DA then decided to add felony assault on a police officer as the underlying charge and went back to the grand jury to indict his ham sandwich. The judge had to quash the charges again, this time for being absurd, and told the DA to stop playing games.
Now a federal judge has decided to give everyone Qualified Immunity because the 5th circuit will do anything to protect a cop and punish anyone who records them. The ruling is being appealed.
