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....
Apparently, the cop wasn’t done because he had not released her. She is detained until he tells her to go. Since neither of us was there and we haven’t read the full report yet, we still don’t know what the cop’s motivation even was.
Like I said, whether they can sue or not depends on what the investigation yields. If not laws or regulations were violated and she just killed herself then the family can NOT sue. Our law even prevents them from bringing the lawsuit. However, if the jail violated any laws or regulations then the family can and probably will sue.
Please keep in mind though that the judge and/or jury will be selected from Waller County so whether they win is pure speculation. However, the any possible lawsuit would have to be centered around the time she was in jail. The traffic stop itself would not even be admissible in court since it had NO bearing on her death. If the family wins the suit then, yes, the taxes in Waller County would increase, but that would not impact the entire State.
The family can NOT sue DPS or this trooper because our laws prevent it and make them immune since the trooper did NOT violate the law. It isn’t a matter of opinion. It simply can’t be done in TX.
You can say that the cop was a jerk and intentionally escalated the stop until your blue in the face, but that is a matter of opinion. The fact is, he still didn’t violate the law so he is still immune. Even if DPS fired him for policy violations, he still is immune because he didn’t violate any laws. No amount of silly personal opinions will change the black and white of the law.
See...I can copy and repost my posts too. Just because you keep saying the same stupid things does NOT make it true.
