Absolutely. Not just because of her gesture as she drove by, but for their history. This cop physically abused this woman at a storage facility, alleging trespassing, etc. He retaliated then because she challenged him. I'm trying to find the video and link of that encounter.

[@rightsarentwrong]

No doubt!!

[@jamesbeebe2870]

I mean even if he hadn't, the fact he mentioned the gesture to backup, and she admitted to it when he mentioned it, and then he chose to arrest over a traffic violation that frankly is common af says a lot. Texas and my state (GA) have similar laws regarding traffic infractions/violations. I've been caught speeding, that is considered a criminal offense in GA, only got a citation, and I was super speeding. State law may allow an arrest, no reasonable officer is gonna arrest solely over it though (barring like 20+ over with multiple violations that would become reckless driving). Plus he admitted he was treated her differently because she was who she was.

here is ONE valid reason why an officer should be able to turn off a body camera. When they are talking to confidential informant, because having that video in the system both risks putting the CI in harm's way AND goes against the concept of a CONFIDENTIAL informant (for the same reason.)

[@Splintermvp13]

@@davidschwartzman2986 okay so you’re looking to play “devils advocate” here. Fine, I can give you that, but considering when a cop meets with a CI, typically it’s an arranged meeting to which there’s zero need for a body cam. Now I’m not attacking you or trying to be rude, but anyone with a brain has to see how cops abuse the system every opportunity they get and turning off the body cam is one of those things they do way too much. A body cam is t to protect a cop, it’s to protect the citizens and their rights. Something’s cops take away from us on a daily basis. Every time they unjustly arrest someone or do something wrong and they realize it, they turn off the body cams then huddle up into a circle “to get their story right”. I trust a cop as much as leaving a 4 year old alone at a toy store.

@@toribarron5700 I don't mind being muted after to protect some privacy, but the officer shouldn't get to choose what is recorded. In a perfect world they shouldn't be concerned about what is said because their actions should be honest in all circumstances. It's conspiracy. Police should be like robots, functioning with clear intent and unwavering commitment to excellence. Literally, every time it is done it is deprivation of rights or fraud.

So I was wondering if the cop was claiming that she failed to signal BEFORE driving past him where the body cam doesn't show one way or another, but on his ticket, he writes, "She flicked me off THEN failed to change," which is clearly AFTER passing him, and the body cam DOES show she signaled. Easy win. It is objectively false. She definitely needs to fight and sue.

[@keylimepie904]

Watch the body cam from the beginning. When the cop is walking to the back of his car, she is moving from the right lane to the left lane and no signal is observed (although it would be hard to see). In the body cam the cop says she failed to signal left when she moved over to the left lane. After she passes the squad cars, she clearly signals when she moves back into the right lane, but by then the infraction for the stop had already been committed. Admittedly, arresting her for failure to signal a lane change is a pretty low thing to do and most likely in retaliation for getting the middle finger.

[@TheKyfe]

@keylimepie904 nope. For 1, we don't witness her do the lane change from right to left as she approaches the cops. She's already in the left lane at that point. For 2, in his WRITTEN report, he states word for word that the supposed traffic violation occurred AFTER he saw her flip him off. I don't care what he says off-hand on camera. The only thing that matters is the official report. The fact that he got it wrong in his written, even if (and that's a big if, because there's literally zero evidence) she had failed to signal beforehand shows his mindset: "I'm going to say anything that needs to be said to justify arresting her for hurting my feelings."

The fact that they can arrest you for a minor offense is ridiculous

[@jaycarrillojc]

Arrested for failure to signal. No wonder our jails are packed to the gills. Arresting for a minor infraction. Pathetic.

She needs to file a restraining order against him.

I once had a cop harrass me everytime he saw my car. So one night I am at a bar with other cops and the cop who keeps harassing me. Sat down and he said something crude so I got up and poured a pitcher of beer over his head..and he was going to hit me and the other cops stood up and protected me..after that he never bothered me again!!!! Sometimes it is nice to have cop friends!!!

“If he had done something wrong he wouldn’t be here” Literally just got done lecturing that same officer for retaliation.

"if you choose to be defined by what happened to you in the past, then you will always continue to be that person" that is the most disgusting, gaslighty, victim-blaming sack of bs i've ever heard. unforgivable words.

It’s actually a good bit of advice but it’s coming from the wrong person for the wrong reason

@@issamkholoud2009 i completely agree. the motivation and intent behind the words transformed a decent piece of advice in many contexts into something deceitful and grotesquely malicious

@@donlalo2002 Strange you use this in the context of male vs female "wife and kids". Females are more likely to hit their spouse than males and more likely to harm their children (statistically speaking across cultures)

Its the fact that he admitted he had issues with her in the past that makes me believe he is a bad cop. This was payback and she should file a complaint on him.
