The bullsch!tt from the town of Electra, Texas in this 18-minute video will make your head explode. It gets real good in the pre-trial courtroom phase, you won't believe what you're seeing and hearing.

You should bring suit to all involved. My BP is now elevated.

Hard to believe that so many are complicit from the judge on down...

I have seen tapes where the guys in them were definitely egging on the cops and pushing the line. I don't think this guy was at all. I think anything he said to the cops was respectful and within the law.

Gotta love it when the city attorney says the constitution doesn't apply to police or courts.

He should also know when he asked about a prior criminal history that whether a person has a prior conviction on anything or not is not admissible into evidence either.

If the lawyers are that bad, how bad are the cops in lots of cases?

The lawyer spoke the truth about "you might beat the rap, but not the ride"...That happens.

You know.... They ALL could have seen things differently than they did within that system. Here's how.

The judge and the prosecutor could have seen how things went, and instead of defending the system, they could have CHANGED the way cases are brought to them, based on this case.

Had the judge and prosecutor passed on the message that they would not take cases on anything that resembled this type of action against citizens, the police would have had no choice but to train better, and raise the bar for their officers. The whole system would have benefitted from these changes.

Instead, they all "Let it ride". Sure, they dismissed the charges on THIS guy, but what about the next dozen guys like him?

I didn't know it was a potential crime to fail the attitude test. Unreal. Those guys need a lesson in the Constitution.

The only reason it went down like this is because the man's son was videoing the entire thing. Had they known they were being recorded the outcome would look very differently.

Everyone from the Judge down needs to be fired and brought up on charges of misconduct. There is no way that should have ever happened. I would sue the whole county. I would be a pain in there butt from now on until I got justice.

His biggest mistake was not having an attorney. NEVER try to represent yourself, you will always be treated just like that or WORSE.

He has a right to a copy of that video. Prosecutor was pissed because he didn't go along with their crooked operation of under the Color of Law.
It's true about small town JB's so he wasn't lying about that.

Ya, it's too bad when there's audio to go along with. Isn't it there as some poo poo want to protect them? It goes both ways.

I'm sitting about 20 miles from Electra right now. I don't know any of the participants in this, but the PA told the guy the truth about how things used to be, and how they still are a little farther west from Electra.

The two cops are a prime example of what you get for minimum wage.

I don't see where the PA or judge did anything wrong.

If the "victim" does much traveling in rural areas ANYWHERE in the South or Southwest, he may have some experiences that make this one look like a walk in the park.

"Drama Queen" comes to mind.

I woulda just showed 'em my driver's license and explained what we were doing. Freely giving up yer ID in the sticks at night serves the same purpose as when guys out on the plains would discharge their plains rifles into the air on encountering strangers... visible proof of peaceable intent.

Most likely the Cops wouild have given advice on where was a motel I could stop or a convenience store parking lot where we could take a quick nap.

Closest I've come to that is when I was an itinerant longhair passing through Elk City OK one cold February night in '83. I had car trouble that I could fix the next morning when I could see using spare parts I had brung.

I stopped in the police station (Sheriff's office?) and asked where I could park.

Later that evening the guy stopped by in his squad car and told me it was a good thing I had asked where I could park, else with my "long hair and them New York plates" he "woulda run me in like a shot" grin

I dunno what constitutional rights got violated.

You do get what you pay for. There's a little town here that has a Chief who manages a bunch of volunteer officers. Translate that: Officers who were run off or couldn't get hired anywhere else but desperately want to keep their license. I've met two of them (worked with one at a real department before she got fired) and they scared me to think they were cops.

And it's not always true, but every podunk town I've ever seen that started its own police department would've been better served without one.

It's videos like this that make it so hard to defend my profession.

I'm truly sorry you had to go through that. Keep posting that video everywhere you can.

And I also hope you're filing a lawsuit
