It's videos like this that make it so hard to defend my profession.
I guess I must be missing something.
The guy was wrongfully issued a citation, the Cop did an illegal search.
The REAL story here IMHO is the citizen was freely able to get a copy of the tape from the police department, which evidence exonerated him and the charges were dismissed. I will note too that the Police Chief, whoever he may be (we just hear his voice) seems to be a bastion of common sense in this situation.
Meanwhile, in Texas, I'm sure we have at least a couple of LEO's in the employ of the drug cartels and the smuggling rings. I'm gonna reserve my outrage for stuff like that.
