In a strike for dismissing people who have called them to do their job!

The beer bottles were thrown in the trash by the receptionist and ended up at a party through a rediculous chain of event. A woman died from an overdose. Think he was fined 3 months of salary or something like that for not handling the evidence correctly and the receptionist was found not guilty since she didn’t know what the bottles contained or that they were evidence.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

Good questions, but this lawyer seems smart enough that he likely asked them.

[@jericho1-4]

Actually by not asking that and other detailed specific questions leaves the Attorney the option during examination or cross examination to catch the LEO'S in a lie which would constitute a perjury allegation to the court. Which in turn calls that officers credibility truthfulness and integrity into question and when taken IN CONTEXT with the sworn depositions statements and testimony of the other LEO's leaves the jury zero wiggle room to Aquit or find in their favor during both a criminal or civil proceedings. While accountability is needed it's needs to go much further than simply looking at law enforcement, by and large the politicians have been given a pass on this for decades. They have fostered and by their influence and actions indemnified law enforcement to continue to violate the constitutional and civil rights of the public and should likewise be held firmly accountable.

[@johng.1703]

@@jericho1-4 asking the question would either put his RAS in jeopardy or show that he committed perjury on the citation. Because if he didn’t know when the citation was issued, there was RAS for the stop, and if he didn’t know until after then it would be perjury

@@johng.1703 Wasn't the RAS and or PC already in jeopardy by admitting under oath during a sworn deposition that he issued the citation upon the order of his superior and not by his own insistence or validating the citation by at least confirming use or ownership of the vehicle. Interestingly enough there are several retaliatory accusations made by the LEO's on scene prior to the vehicle inclusion that discredited any RAS/PC that shows they had none other than the subjects unwillingness to identify. Which was covered by both the state and federal legislation and understanding of said same as covered in the video. Most people don't understand that by not verbally invoking their fifth amendment right the are in essence giving law enforcement RAS/PC that can be used against them and the court will disregard any notion of them not having prior RAS/PC as they will view the precursor conversations as a willful interaction. Though this does in most cases mean you could be detained or even arrested for any number of reasons that have been given by the subject via willful verbal interaction that substantiated their RAS/PC after the fact. It appears this subject didn't do that nor does it appear that the LEO's were operating under TCOL at any point nor did they have RAS/PC ergo the escalation in criminal accusations culminating in the vehicle citation and finally with the actual citation issued.

@@jericho1-4 what's the old police saying that they like to use for these things? "You can be the rap but you can;t beat the ride"? police officers can arrest you for offences that don't exist in law, and can get away with it without impact on them if they thought that they were enfocing a valid law, and and from that any escalation they do is also inline with enforcing an actual criminal law.if a police officer thinks that smiling is a criminal offense he can leagally treat it as a criminal offense, arrest you, beat you up, etc etc etc.
