Texas Officer Caught On Camera Trying To Delete Video Of Unlawful Arrest/Detainment

I think lawyers would probably take this case tomorrow if you paid them by the hour (against a large upfront retainer). I know when I was in private practice, I rarely said no to large sums of money being handed to me. Your point is a fair one though- I doubt any lawyer would take this case on contingency unless they just wanted the free press and were bored.

Oh I'm sure if you paid enough someone would take it and you never know lightning could strike and this could be some landmark civil rights case. You would be better off buying lottery tickets if you're really looking to get paid.

1/2 chewed french fries all over my tablet.

well, that is the correct terminology in Texas for when a guy loses his job in this manner.


They need to "fire his ass" or he needs to "get his ass fired"
We must preserve our way of speaking here in the Lone Star State

It just doesn't. Truth is I think the cop was wrong but making statements that just don't fit with reality don't help anyone. Unless the guy stopped sues for mental issues caused by the stop he just doesn't have monetary damages. Sure the DA could in theory charge for official oppression but it's a class a miss, the word intentional is in the definition if I remember right, and it's a pretty high bar to get over when the gentleman was just temporarily stopped. There was no fight, no beatings, no thefts, so the reality is dept reprimand is the best one should realistically hope for.

I am curious if he could have been charged if he had successful in deleting the video?

Now, I realize had the video been deleted, there would have been no proof, so....
