The reason for the stop was there was no license plate number on display. This was a new vehicle and there was a paper tag in the rear window. It was difficult to see due to tinted windows in the dark. However, once under the bright lights of the gas station the tag was clearly visible. These officers escalated this stop way beyond the scope of the stop once it had been established there was a tag. I hope he wins millions!!!!

Notice how the vehicle was searched without cause & without a search warrant Peculiar how the court states that these cops acted within the boundaries of the law in stopping this man & arresting him. Furthermore it recommends qualified immunity for them. Well if thats true, then why was Guiterrez fired?? Violence, inequity, & hypocrisy. The court is being just as lawless as these police. Unless these courts begin to capitulate & punish police for unnecessary agression & brutality, occurance of these incidents is going to build & build until we see the beginnings of civil war.

Qualified immunity needs to go! For all public officials!

[@iMatti00]

Most people have no clue what qualified immunity really is. Anecdotally I would say 90% of people who believe they are educated on qualified immunity actually are completely incorrect. And I say this respectfully, I presume you’re in the 90%. So I’m making this comment to hopefully have people do a little research and learn what it is and what it is not. I’ll tell you what qualified immunity is not. First, it has nothing to do with criminal charges. It does not stop a cop for being criminally charge. It does not stop a cop from being fired. And it does not make taxpayers pay for the lawsuit instead of the cop individually. Here is what qualified immunity is. It just prevents a cop from being sued for violating a persons right when the cop had no reason to know it was a right. One example of where qualified immunity was used, and I’m just remembering this off the top my head, is where a cop pull someone over for a traffic infraction, writes their ticket, and then waits 20 minutes in their car for a K9 dog to show up to smell for drugs. The person sued because they had a good lawyer and the court said you’re not allowed to just hold someone while you wait on the dog to show up, if the dogs there before the traffic stop is over then you can use the dog, but you can’t finish the traffic stop and just have the person wait there for the dog to smell around. That was a violation of the fourth amendment to the constitution. So do you really believe that they should be able to sue that cop for keeping them there for another 20 minutes? Do you really think any judge who believes a small technical right has been violated means that now you gotta do the cop individually. I think if people are fair and honest and objective most of them who are really doing those that three things will not believe cops should be able to be sued by people for making very small mistakes when they’re cops. But there are problems with qualified immunity. I think sometimes judges give too much difference to cops. Sometimes you should be able to know if something reasonably is a violation of someone’s rights or not. But once a court who is over your state has told you this is a civil right, then qualified immunity disappears. Or if the cop should have known that was a civil right, qualified immunity also is not supposed to be used. But this is where I think sometimes judges give too much leeway to cops. But once A police department is told through a judge’s Opinion that this is illegal, qualified immunity disappears. And the judge doesn’t actually have to tell the police department, the judge just releases the opinion and the police department either hast to know it and if they don’t know it then that’s on the police department. So that’s what qualified immunity is. A lot of people get qualified immunity confused with lawsuit indemnification. Completely separate. Lawsuit indemnification is the police department saying if a cop gets sued personally that they will handle all the legal expenses and any judgment against the cop personally. But that actually is not qualified immunity. But I understand a lot of people will not believe me when they read this comment. You’ll think I’m just dumb yahoo who doesn’t know what I’m talking about. And that’s very distressing that a movement who says they want to hold cops accountable, which I think is absolutely needed, does not even educate people correctly. That makes me wonder if certain movements really care about reform when they don’t even use proper language. Or if they just don’t have the ability to secret form because I won’t even look up the basic information. So I don’t even blame every day people. I’m not being mean about it or anything. But it’s the people who are supposed to be knowledgeable who are going around saying things that are not true, it just perplexes me so much. You know?a

This is anything but acceptable police conduct . The Judge needs to be reevaluated . There is no probable cause and shoving it off to civil trial is flat wrong . Both officers need jail time .

I pray that he does not settle. Taxpayers are sick and tired of paying for cops arrogance, egos and complete ignorance of the laws they are trusted to uphold. They treat all citizens like criminals. We need real change in police behavior.

[@dougbourdo2589]

Sadly, the younger officer watched & mimicked the irresponsible actions of the older officer. This entire situation was a train wreck.

[@Degorff]

That Judge defended the police he did adjudicate the case for the civilian. Those cops didn't have a good reason and did an illegal stop plus they are the aggressors here. They need to be in jail and anyone who has the opinion they did a good job needs to go there with them.

The cops even mentioned to themselves there's the temporary license tag after they pepper sprayed and put him on the ground and they fired the cop who pepper sprayed the Lt. so something had to be wrong with the detainment of the Liuetenant.

It’s normal for that PD to execute a Felony Stop procedure on a simple non felon traffic stop ?? What was the justification?? Police aren’t supposed to draw their weapon without legitimate cause - especially in well lit locations and with a partner (and no reason for doing so)

[@iMatti00]

Most people have no clue what qualified immunity really is. Anecdotally I would say 90% of people who believe they are educated on qualified immunity actually are completely incorrect. And I say this respectfully, I presume you’re in the 90%. So I’m making this comment to hopefully have people do a little research and learn what it is and what it is not. I’ll tell you what qualified immunity is not. First, it has nothing to do with criminal charges. It does not stop a cop for being criminally charge. It does not stop a cop from being fired. And it does not make taxpayers pay for the lawsuit instead of the cop individually. Here is what qualified immunity is. It just prevents a cop from being sued for violating a persons right when the cop had no reason to know it was a right. One example of where qualified immunity was used, and I’m just remembering this off the top my head, is where a cop pull someone over for a traffic infraction, writes their ticket, and then waits 20 minutes in their car for a K9 dog to show up to smell for drugs. The person sued because they had a good lawyer and the court said you’re not allowed to just hold someone while you wait on the dog to show up, if the dogs there before the traffic stop is over then you can use the dog, but you can’t finish the traffic stop and just have the person wait there for the dog to smell around. That was a violation of the fourth amendment to the constitution. So do you really believe that they should be able to sue that cop for keeping them there for another 20 minutes? Do you really think any judge who believes a small technical right has been violated means that now you gotta do the cop individually. I think if people are fair and honest and objective most of them who are really doing those that three things will not believe cops should be able to be sued by people for making very small mistakes when they’re cops. But there are problems with qualified immunity. I think sometimes judges give too much difference to cops. Sometimes you should be able to know if something reasonably is a violation of someone’s rights or not. But once a court who is over your state has told you this is a civil right, then qualified immunity disappears. Or if the cop should have known that was a civil right, qualified immunity also is not supposed to be used. But this is where I think sometimes judges give too much leeway to cops. But once A police department is told through a judge’s Opinion that this is illegal, qualified immunity disappears. And the judge doesn’t actually have to tell the police department, the judge just releases the opinion and the police department either hast to know it and if they don’t know it then that’s on the police department. So that’s what qualified immunity is. A lot of people get qualified immunity confused with lawsuit indemnification. Completely separate. Lawsuit indemnification is the police department saying if a cop gets sued personally that they will handle all the legal expenses and any judgment against the cop personally. But that actually is not qualified immunity. But I understand a lot of people will not believe me when they read this comment. You’ll think I’m just dumb yahoo who doesn’t know what I’m talking about. And that’s very distressing that a movement who says they want to hold cops accountable, which I think is absolutely needed, does not even educate people correctly. That makes me wonder if certain movements really care about reform when they don’t even use proper language. Or if they just don’t have the ability to secret form because I won’t even look up the basic information. So I don’t even blame every day people. I’m not being mean about it or anything. But it’s the people who are supposed to be knowledgeable who are going around saying things that are not true, it just perplexes me so much. You know?c
