Two false charges in Electra, Texas. Prosecutor tries to add more at pretrial. And so much more.

I verbally objected to an unconstitutional search of my vehicle in Electra, Texas. Police officers Matt Wood and Gary Ellis maliciously responded by issuing me two false citations. I got a copy of the dashboard-camera video at the pretrial hearing. It showed all. City attorney Todd Greenwood demanded I give my copy of the evidence back, and tried to have me arrested when I refused.

Todd Greenwood then compared rural Texas to the movie Deliverance, and warned me "What's written down in the Constitution is one thing, and the real practice is another."

All charges dropped. Section 1983 anyone?

Everyone involved was a jerk, except the prosecutor.

You forgot the sarcasm tag. The prosecutor was the biggest jerk involved. I would hate to think that little sermon he gave the defendant was in front of the judge.

I believe the officers in the video are now working for neighboring counties.

This is a problem in Texas, nobody checks and roid riding gym rats get hired down the street.

Awesome vid. The prosecutor was speaking the raw truth. I’m astounded that he would do so.

[Excellence]

I am so glad I never saw Deliverance.

I can’t stand to watch this. I am so tired of the Nazi enforcer cops. When the civil war starts, it is going to be these cops that start it.

The prosecutor spoke the truth. Most of these little towns, that video would have “disappeared” and he would have spent the night in jail.

Everyone involved was on a little power trip. Sad.

The prosecutor should have been beaten like a red-headed step-child.

The prosecutor spoke the truth. Most of these little towns, that video would have “disappeared” and he would have spent the night in jail.

The prosecutor was trying to intimidate the peasant into a "joint viewing" of the video, which he apparently hadn't had time to view himself.

He would then have "shaped" the video confrontation into vague threats against the peasant, attempting to massage the situation into a plus for his gunthugs.

I think he crapped his pants when the peasant confronted HIM.

You can bet there would have been gunthug violence against the peasant if the boy hadn't been in the courtroom.
