He'll probably walk then, if they didn't read him his rights, and then turn around and sue for emotional damages or something like that.

Yup, asgreed on the lawsuit part. . .I'd even say he's gonna sue no matter the outcome of the court case.
What likely happened is the offiers placed him under arrest and were clearing the area, getting him outside. They probably read him his rights once they were out of the room. The key is, did the dummy say anything that would be used against him before his rights were read to him? Probably not. So, the case stands on the merits of what happened before he was arrested. The officers acted correctly and the offense the dummy committed was plain for all to see.
Cheers, and where in Central Texas. I'm former Temple police officer, way long ago, just after university (SWT).

The police have to read your rights to you if you are being arrested, right? I've always thought this was true, except for minors.
