I may surprise some people on this, but I didn't necessarily see anything outrageous in this instance. Obviously, it looks bad tasing someone in handcuffs and I get that. These are the type of people that cops need to take off the streets.
How does one become a DRE (Drug Recognition Expert)? That is what Betty Shelby described herself as during her first interview with police. Maybe some of our law enforcement buddies can tell us about this special training.
Corey committed suicide in January, just hours after a school resource officer confronted him about an alleged illegal item on his cell phone—a recording of Corey having sex with a female classmate. The girl had informed a dean at the school that she believed Corey had played the recording for his friends (it's not clear whether he did), which prompted the authorities to summon Corey to the principal's office. They called his mother and told both of them that Corey was being investigated for possession of child pornography.
Corey left the meeting, headed to a nearby parking garage, and jumped.
I thought you had to state a reason for puling someone over at all traffic stops if someone pulls over without any issue...The police are wrong here.. No doubt
This is a case where they likely are wrong. There are some instances where positive ID is needed to clear someone. Say, for instance, a person matching a description of someone wanted for another offense. You would obtain ID in order to positively identify them as a suspect or not. However, you wouldn't want to tell the person that reason without backup in the area. As the patrolman should have backup any time approaching a suspected person/vehicle anyway.
I don't know what preceded the stop in this case, but it was handled poorly.
Agreed.. The driver has a right to ask why he was stopped. Usually most of us know why, speeding, running a stop sign etc or in other cases no idea perhaps a broken taillight, expired tags.. No need to be jerked out of the car however.
