Texas Cop on Trial After Caught on Video Illegally Searching PINAC Reporters Car

https://photographyisnotacrime.com/2017/01/18/texas-cop-on-trial-after-caught-on-video-illegally-searching-pinac-reporters-car/


interesting case. cop arrests guy with camera for filming a police station. once in jail the cop takes the guys car keys, drives around town looking for his car using the unlock thing on the keychain, finds the car and approaches the car which sets off the motion detecting camera inside. Cop is filmed opening the car and going through it. open and shut case of breaking into the car which he was indicted for.

The cop is on trial right now today.

The police union is badmouthing the camera guy and justifying the cops actions.

"Who's going to arrest me, I'm a cop".

She lost her job and then sued the dept and lost her case.
