Well I believe all police ARE cold blooded murderers, but you wouldn't like it if I explained why.

That isn't anything like the 'puppet master' defense, in any way, shape or form. The puppet master defense is claiming you appeared like an idiot in order to provoke a reaction. This doesn't make any sense at all in relation to what I said.

That's not where the misunderstanding lies here, and it's pretty sad that even in something as simple as this you have to misdirect and try to misrepresent others. I understand why you don't want to answer that question, if I held your opinions I wouldn't want to answer it here either. I'm asking you why you'd agree to answer it in the first place if you had no intention of doing so.

So would you kindly either post something relevant to the loving thread or gtfo.

Why would a lawyer have any idea? It's obviously not a record of what actually occurred, but whether that was due to malfeasance or to technical error would have to be left to the experts.

As a layman, it doesn't seem to be that the portion of video with artefacts is particularly relevant to the justifiability of the arrest: it isn't during the cop's interaction with Bland.

The only reason I can think of for the video to have been doctored would be if he had called her the n-word or something in the time they papered over, but honestly if you're going to sit down and maliciously edit a video, you're going to do a little bit better than making a car disappear into the 40th dimension in the middle of your video.

Sorry, rephrased: in the opinion of the attorneys in this thread, how often do you come across evidence spoilage? Is there a trend toward the defendant or the prosecution when it comes to this? How did you deal with evidence that is alleged to be tampered with?

The cop was already smart enough in this instance to take her off camera, so messing with the video stream is probably not going to really hide anything. It seems like the audio was fine which is really all there is to go on, anyway. Probably wasn't intentional tampering, in my opinion, but definitely still odd.

At the risk of starting a derail; Honest question what did she do that was an arrestable offense? She wasn't refusing the ticket or anything, she just refused to put her cigarette out. Is failing to obey every ancillary command by a cop a jailable offense? The guy never even told her why she was being arrested even after she kept yelling it at him, are cops required to tell you why you are under arrest?

Legally it was for refusing to get out of the car when told to do so, and then resisting an officer and assaulting him.

Realistically, it went south when she told him she wasn't putting out her cigarette and he decided to flex his authority. This is an excellent example of an officer needlessly escalating a stop for literally no gain.

Ah ok I see. The first thing she did that was "arrestable" was the refusal to get out of the car, but that order was only given because of the cigarette thing then... Idk just doesn't seem justifiable.

You're technically under arrest from being pulled over. Most of the time you're just released on your own recognizance.

In Texas she could have legally been arrested and taken to jail merely for the initial failure to signal a lane change, department guidelines not withstanding. Yeah it sucks.
