1) A north texas man is suing the city of Dallas and three police officers for violating his rights. A video of the encounter shows the police approaching the truck and asking where the drugs are. They can not be heard because they turned their microphones off. "'He’s sticking his nose inside the car and kind of looking, and he’s asking where the drugs are, specifically where the drugs are,' said Taylor. 'I told him, ‘I don’t have any drugs.’ I didn’t know what he was talking about. It was almost as if it was a joke of some sort.' But this was no joke". He gave him his license and he asked him what should he do and he told him he's a truck driver. The officer just looked at him. Taylor gave the officer his concealed carry license and the other officer started to pipe up. He starts to try to provoke him by telling him to reach for it but the driver is confused. Other officers begin to arrive and he is asked to step out of his vehicle. He does (fooloshly) and is brought to the front of a squad car. An officer asks to search the vehicle and he refuses to give permission. The officer threatened to take him to jail so he could search it. Taylor was brought to jail on charges of illegally carrying a weapon while the inside of his truck was being torn up. He had never been to prison before and he described it as horrible. The man describes his ride to jail as wild and rough. THe officers were running red lights and driving recklessly like little kids. The man wants justice for this.
2) I think this is pretty terrible. You see videos of police at DUIs or illegal stops trying to provoke citizens more and more nowadays. As the saying goes power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, so it's not much suprise that even now in our supposedly civilized world police still act like monsters drunk on the power of a king. The police here pretty obviously had no legitimate constitutional reason to pull this man over and I find it sick that he had to go through such injustice just because the police can't be held accountable for their actions.
3) This relates to our current unti about civil rights and liberties because in the bill of rights citizens are protected from unreasonable searches and seizures as well as cruel and unusual punsihment which this man was just put through by representatives of our "grand and supreme" government.
