Police conspiracy

This news sto­ry focus­es on the moment that at least three police offi­cers decid­ed to attempt to con­spire to charge an inno­cent dri­ver with a felony hit and run charge.

Dash cams have become a seri­ous deter­rent to the abuse of pow­er by police.

There are times when every­thing goes wrong with law enforce­ment and it is true that there are many more good offi­cers than there are bad ones but when every­thing fails why is it that the police fail so ter­ri­bly.

In this case anoth­er dri­ver had a dash cam device and cap­tured the moment a police offi­cer kicked a car and injured him­self.

The prob­lem came when that offi­cer and at least two oth­er offi­cers fal­si­fied a report stat­ing that the offi­cer had been injured when a motorist did not obey his direc­tion which is a prob­lem no doubt because offi­cers are there to do a job and when some­one refus­es to obey the offi­cer it places every­one else in dan­ger.

See this video…

When you look at this video you have to won­der what caused these offi­cers to lie and say that the offi­cer was injured by a hit and run dri­ver?

It is clear that this police offi­cer plus at least two oth­er offi­cers con­spired to charge a dri­ver with a hit and run (felony) charge.

Of course you can under­stand how frus­trat­ed the police offi­cer must have been but to lie about it and then (alleged­ly con­vince two or more offi­cers to also lie) ?

This is a real prob­lem because for every bad offi­cer there are like­ly many more good ones that would nev­er do this.

This makes every­one look bad but what if there had been no dash cam video evi­dence pro­vid­ed by the wit­ness?

What if that dri­ver had not turned on his dash cam that day?

What if no video had been cap­tured?

The man would right now be faced with a long jail sen­tence.

Loss of mon­ey from being in jail instead of hav­ing a job to go to he would have been fired.

His fam­i­ly would not have his income to pay the bills.

He would have a felony on his record, hav­ing to pay high­er costs for insur­ance and oth­er ser­vices which require a good cred­it report or find­ing a job with a felony on his record.

These things fol­low some­one for many years if not for­ev­er…

IF there had been no cred­i­ble wit­ness or a video prov­ing the offi­cer injured him­self instead of the lie that the police con­spired to tell?

Things like this are hap­pen­ing too often and it is often a com­bi­na­tion of police and dis­trict attor­ney incom­pe­tence.

IF there had been no evi­dence this man would like­ly be con­vict­ed of the crime and would have had to pay with his free­dom and all of the mon­ey that he had now and in the future.
