Can citizens use that angle also for all videos?
Also, can we get an outside investigation rather than have Internal Affairs or the cops investigate themselves?
I'm not sure I'm following on the first question.
As for the second question, I don't mind having an independent review board to investigate police wrongdoing. But we had to make sure that such boards have the necessary investigative power/authority to actually conduct a thorough investigation and that such boards are not seen as anti-police, which could only decrease morale/increase hostility within the police ranks, which is something that nobody should want.
When I was growing up we knew cops In NYC that would steal car radio and sell them for extra dough to friends and family. If you got towed in the city your radio, battery and any personal belongings were gooooone. And if they needed a part from your car for their car that was gone to. Ahhh the good old days in NYC. Nowadays they just make your life miserable if you talk back.
Even if they ran the plates before, just like anyone else, they can't open the car legally. Even then, they have to have a reason to run the plates, otherwise if they stopped the guy the charges can be thrown out in court.
So no matter what, they have to wait for the owner to show up and confront him, otherwise it's breaking and entering. It's really a shame that some people on this board have no problem with police trampling on people's civil rights, until it happens to them.
Exactly.
Whatever the reason for searching the man's car, the cop needed either his permission, a warrant, or some easily observed illegal substance.
How would I know he's a real cop? Where's the warrant? Can every two-bit burglar now use that as a defense? Unlike the owner of the SUV in the video, I have the money to file suit against the police department and raise a real stink about it to the press. I counter-sue the police department for $4,000,000 or so, for false arrest and my "psychological trauma" suffered during this incident. Being a former NJ boy, unlike the natives, I'd be a lot more litigious! Remember the Duke Lacrosse team rape case? They won $12,000,000 from the city of Durham, Duke University and sued the prosecutor ...lost his house and was disbarred!
The economic level of the people involved weighs heavily on any trial outcome!
Indeed.
Regarding the Duke Lacrosse team rape accusation case, Crystal Magum, the accuser, was a known nut case.
She was involved in several instances of falsely accusing others, stabbed a couple men, and once stole a cab of a customer, ran into a cop car, and nearly hit a cop. She is currently in prison over stabbing a man to death.
Why the prosecutor took this woman's testimony as anything but the rantings of a disturbed individual is anyone's guess.
