“Are you suggesting government in Waller County and likely other government agencies will not have successful lawsuits filed against them over this entire incident, including her fatal incarceration?”
Since the death is unrelated to the traffic stop then what I am saying is that the family will be unable to sue the cop for the traffic stop because he did not violate the law. Both the cop and the State are immune in that instance. Now whether the County jail failed in some aspect of her care or security is a different matter, which remains to be seen. If the jail messed up somehow and violated the law or State regulation then they could still be sued, but that is a different situation than the traffic stop.
“Even if she hung herself these tax paying folks down there in Texas are liable. No?”
That depends on whether the County jail failed to follow some law or regulation. I don’t know if that is the case or not since that info has not yet been released. The cop is not liable simply for putting her in jail so he is immune since he did not violate the law.
“Are you suggesting all these multi-million dollar law suits and thousands of smaller lawsuits have no effect on Texas property taxes or taxes in general?”
I’m not suggesting that at all. I only stated that the family will not have any luck suing DPS or the trooper for the traffic stop because he did not violate any laws and is therefore immune. They may be able to sue the County, but that will only impact the taxes within that one county. However, if the jail/jailers did not violate the law or State regulation then they too will be immune according to TX law.
You know as well as I the dead woman’s family will sue the daylights out of Waller County and other agencies for millions and WIN.
And this will clearly contribute to higher taxes for those folks in Texas....It’s not that hard, just admit it.
I like the part where this very unprofessional cop with the heavy badge returns to her vehicle with a signed warning ticket...The stop was all but done. And then the cop demands she put out a cig while she is sitting in her own private vehicle...
This guy intentionally escalated the situation which he used that as an excuse to put this women in a cage.....
This insane incident also made her miss her first day of work on a job...
Looking sharp Texas....
