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.

I just meant the overall behavior and ego of all those involved.

In my agency, you make sure they're ok, smile and leave. Done.

And if you did do something like that, the DA would be having a chat with the Sheriff. And then it would roll down hill from there.

And why save outrage? I've got plenty for all of it. Where do you draw the line?

I for one draw the line at ANY inappropriate or illegal behavior. Period.
