And the cop defender contingency checks in.
If the officer was being a little less than truthful, I’m sure the tape has been misplaced. The DUI attorney would have known about it, if the Mesa police have the dash cameras.
There's an 18 minute gap in the tape.
I have no great love of lawyers, and I try to respect the job cops do. But cops are getting more and more militarized these days, and have a far greater superiority/power lust than in years past.
“Would love to see and hear the audio and video of this stop. I suspect it doesnt match the suspects statement or the biased reporters..”
I’d be on your side too, except for the fact that the charges were quietly dropped. Based on that little tidbit, I am more apt to believe the innocent driver’s story. But then that’s just me and my natural tendency to believe that dropped charges mean that the charges were originally made in error.
