A lot of cops seem to have trouble catching up with the surveillance state. They still act like crooked cops even though they have their own dash cams staring right at them and listening to everything they’re saying.
If it weren’t for their dash cam videos, they would’ve easily gotten away with what they did, because no judge or prosecutor would question the cops’ account. It makes you wonder how often they do these sorts of things. From Courthouse News:
Allison Ross, who was arrested after the second search of her home, sued the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department, its crime lab, Sheriff Laurie Smith, and 12 of her officers, in Federal Court.
Ross says that the deputies came to her home around 11 p.m. on New Years’ Eve, 2009, after arresting her husband several houses down the street from their family home. When the deputies approached, Ross was outside talking with a neighbor.
The deputies “unlawfully detained Ross while they proceeded to illegally enter and conduct an illegal search and seizure of her home. This was done under the false pretense of conducting a ‘safety sweep’ of the home for an attempted ‘home invasion,’” the complaint states.
