Nice find I didn't get that one and btw lol someone needs a new public affairs person that chick did NOT HELP the police in anyway LOL.
As for my opinion very very shaky reason to even pull a guy, very un-situationally aware to see the camera but not ensure you follow procedure to the letter. Severe case of brain dump on the officers part about stating we are going to take that camera . Though, the bike rider should have just rolled with it and argued the point later in court never a good idea to come with attitude with an officer it just escalates. Getting physical, when it was not needed IE pushing him back in the car while knowing there is one and possibly more cameras running very poor decision making skills. Just my two cents not going to argue it the officer I would hold 95% at fault and the rider 5% just for starting with mouth before finding out what was going on. Here in this state, yes we get your lic, reg and insurance before we tell you why as people have a nasty habit of running if we tell them well we pulled you over because your tags are stolen, factious etc .

Sheriff launches internal affairs investigation in response to biker arrest | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth

they have launched an official investigation.

 

Dallas resident and PINAC reader Avi Adelman, who writes the Daily Crime Report and has had his own run-ins with deputies over video recording, sent this letter to Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez, which is reprinted in its entirety below.

Dear Sheriff Valdez

Last evening, I watched in absolute shock a News8 / WFAA story regarding a motorcyclist stopped by a Dallas Sheriff Officer during the Memorial Day stunt bike crackdown. The entire stop was captured on a video camera mounted on the motorcyclist’s helmet.

Motorcyclist says Dallas crackdown went too far | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth

I watched as Deputy Sheriff Chris Westbrook created a reason for stopping Mr. Chris Moore, created a false reason for arresting Mr. Moore, and then seized without a warrant (or valid reason) the videotape, claiming it was evidence for a crime that in fact had not occurred (stunt riding).

Then, to make things even more incredible, the tape was turned over to the County’s Gang Unit, when in fact this kind of behavior is not even remotely related to any kind of gang issue as prosecuted by the Dallas County Prosecutor’s office.

The temperamental behavior of Officer Westbrook– argumentative, refusing to provide a clear reason for the stop and arrest, and the slamming of the DSO vehicle door after Mr. Moore was pushed into the car, clearly shows the officer has anger management issues.

Sheriff Valdez, I am not a stranger to you, and you are quite familiar with my activities on Lowest Greenville. I too have encountered a number of your deputies behaving in ways that would make DSO Westbrook’s behavior seem mild . For example –

September 2009 - An off-duty DSO working at a gang-banger club (Encore) demanded that I stop videotaping his presence, claiming I did not have his permission. Sorry, I don’t need his permission to roll tape in a publicly visible area, and he should not be working off-duty at a gangbanger club. I do not remember the exact outcome of my complaint, but I do know he was not there the next weekend. Dallas deputy constable's club work worries officials | BarkingDogs.org
October 2010 – Two DSO officers were working off-duty at Lost Society just days after a club patron was murdered up the street on the Char Bar parking lot. My complaint resulted in an investigation, which revealed that the officers working off-duty and their supervisor (who parked a DSO vehicle in front of the club for nearly an hour) were not approved to work off-duty, had lied about their activities and falsified their timecards. This incident eventually became part of a lawsuit filed by the bar owner against me, in which he claimed I interfered with a contract relationship with the officers. However, the officers were all given one-day suspensions and the bar owner is now a guest of your jail on charges of possessing nearly 14# of methamphetamine and filing false papers with the TABC (the lawsuit was dismissed in April). One of those officers, Johnny Quarles Jr., was eventually dismissed for tampering with government documents. –Lost Society lawsuit against BD tossed into a pile of meth-covered towels, set on fire and dismissed forever! | BarkingDogs.org
Sheriff Valdez, I believe your office has a responsibility to make things right, and make those things happen now. There is no reason in the world to continue the prosecution of Mr. Moore, and your office should make the request that the charges be dropped immediately.

Additionally, DSO Westbrook should be investigated for filing a false arrest report and illegally seizing property (the videotape) for a crime that not only never happened, but was not related to the traffic stop.

I look forward to your reply.



a letter sent by some guy that is constantly hounding DSO. Btw Lupe Valdez is as big a joke as John Wiley Price.

 

And thats a really really fine example of why i dont like cops.

 

x2

 

How is this relevant?

 

This is the group that guy was riding with.

 

This thread did not disappoint.

 

I just saw the video. But this is Texas for ya. Especially Texas cops. I kno some personally that are cool. But if they aren't meeting their quota at the end of the month they will get u for anything.
I was once pulled over for not waiting 5 seconds at a stop sign.
And then also was denied access onto a military base (from a cop) who said even tho I had my temporary plates I had to have my registration sticker to get on. I had literally not had the truck a week.
Then 49 in a 45.
Then passing a cop (in a silverado) who was going 10 in a 50 for a while.

I tend to not like authorities for a reason.
I'm no felon or fugitive. Never committed a crime and got good grades and all that jazz. But because I'm 21 and a male.
Even had a cop follow me expecting me to speed because my last car looked fast....

 

In case someone else didn't mention it...

"Officers were out in force that weekend, working to prevent another shutdown of a Dallas freeway like the one on Memorial Day weekend 2011 that ultimately led to three arrests." - WFFA News 8 Dallas ( http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Motorcyclist-says-dallas-crackdown-went-too-far-159671765.html )

According to news reports (linked to in that article), a group of roughly 75-100 bikers (faces concealed behind dark face shields & license plates removed) have engaged in a yearly effort to block area freeways on Memorial day weekend, accompanied by videotaped racing, stunts (wheelies, etc), criminal mischief (graffiti, property damage, etc), harassment of motorists, and/or accidents (several leading to deaths).

In July 2010, a pack of fourteen speeding motorcyclists involved in this effort, traveling in the wrong direction on a freeway, caused an accident which killed two motorists. In another incident, a motorcyclist, speeding with a group ten bikers, rammed into the back of a pickup truck, crashed into a wall, and died at the scene. The other nine riders fled (real friends), failing to render aid. In an example of harassment, a woman's vehicle was surrounded by several motorcyclists and punched by at least two, all evidently because she failed to move out of their way quickly enough.

As a result of this and concerns by motorists, police have cracked down on motorcyclists with missing or hidden license plates, seizing videos which may contain evidence of criminal behavior or of those involved. Several of the riders arrested have been linked to a theft ring involved in stealing bikes. The stolen bikes, those not used for the activites above, are stripped to supply parts for bikes owned by members of the thief ring or stripped of parts to sell on the internet.

But it didn't have anything to do with the traffic stop.
