no no- people read police minds all the time- amazing how many mind readers there are- she couldn’t possibly have been pulled over for failing to stop or failure to signal- or breaking the law- oh heck no- it just had to be because the cop was lusting after her- so we’re informaed

Dude was trolling on a college campus.

I never see state troopers on the local college campus.

Plus, he was prosecuted for perjury and fired for lying about the stop:

"Encinia wrote that he removed Bland from her car to conduct a safe traffic investigation, but “the grand jury found that statement to be false,” a special prosecutor, Shawn McDonald, said."

If you think Texas is bad, try VA around the DC area, those guys are the real storm troopers. Bad attitudes one and all.

What was the actual reason he removed her from the car then?

If that reason was false, what was his actual reason?

To ask her out on a date and pinch her butt, no doubt?

I want to move to your world, where a cop needs an actual reason to pull you over...

“Yeah. . .I am crying real tears over the deaths of criminal, violent, cowardly and filthy outlaw motorcyclists.”

Congrats Hulka, You’d have “fit right in.” in Nazi Germany! Just remember, if they can shoot bikers (that evidently you hate), they can shoot you too, because to them any target is fair game.

“She was an idiot, looking for trouble.”

If she was looking for trouble she was smart enough to engage an idiot cop.

She ran the stop sign. It was clearly on the video, she did it right in front of him.

That was the reason he pulled her over.

NOW, I NOTICE YOU DIDN’T ANSWER my question.

What was the actual reason he removed her from the car if the reason he provided was found to be false?

“as soon as you saw the driver was a cutie the warning was replaced by a ticket... That was policy in my department.“

Nearly impossible to believe. Practice, perhaps, but policy? That was policy?

Campus police ARE State Troopers unless it’s a private college or university.

But the charge was later dismissed on a motion by prosecutors in exchange for the trooper’s promise that he would never again work in law enforcement.

The prosecuting team concluded that Mr. Encinia’s permanent ban from law enforcement was the best option because there was no certainty of obtaining a conviction on the perjury charge, one of the prosecutors said at the time.

If they have no certainty of getting a conviction on the perjury charge then what good is a voluntary ban? What do they do if he violates the promise and gets a job as a cop somewhere? File charges they themselves don't believe would result in conviction?

Yes, hard to believe but true, it WAS policy in the PD book, back in the mid-70’s.

Wouldn’t fly today but back then no one challenged it.

I didn't bother answering the question because this has been hashed over MANY times in the links I posted above.

Note particularly that a grand jury recommended that he be indicted for perjury over the traffic stop - and he was.

He can no longer work in law enforcement.

You and I can argue about this till we're blue in the face, but neither of us can indict him , or drop the legal matteragainst him.

The people who could, DID go after him and get him.

Your “logic” is illogical and is a perfect example of Godwins Law: “if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Adolf Hitler or his deeds, the point at which effectively the discussion or thread often ends. Promulgated by the American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990.”

Buh-bye.

Maybe in Alabama - but not in any state I'm familiar with.
