Follow-up video to previously posted audio, synchronizing it with this new video. Raw dash cam video from Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Chava Rothschild’s vehicle at the December 18, 2010 roadblock in Sparks, Nevada. The trooper is called over to a block a seized driver who declined consent to a warrantless search of his vehicle. The driver was previously threatened, falsely imprisoned, and maliciously prosecuted for DUI at the most recent Sparks police roadblock. Sparks police officer Eric Atkins is at the driver’s side window. Carson City sheriff deputy Brett Bindley is next to him, with his hand on his Glock pistol. After officers repeatedly threatened to break the vehicle’s window, the driver unlocked the doors and the officers opened the doors. Atkins noticed the spare magazine on the driver’s hip and attacked the driver and other officers joined the assault. The driver’s pistol was snatched from his holster while he was being assaulted. The driver was bound and taken to another location, where he declined to participate in the officers’ malicious prosecution for DUI. Sparks PD officer Rich Gamwell told him, “You are under arrest for DUI and for possession of a firearm while intoxicated.” Officers wrote reports stating the driver reached for his holstered pistol. Little did they know the driver had video cameras inside his vehicle. Gamwell, the arresting officer who collected the officers’ narrative reports, searched the vehicle twice and discovered the most obvious …

Raw video Davenport police chase, and shooting
Scott County Attorney Mike Walton has cleared three Davenport police officers of any wrongdoing in the Aug. 7 shooting of an 18-year-old man on the Centennial Bridge. Walton said Thursday that the three officers — Sgt. Greg Behning, Detective Epigminio Canas and Officer Sam Miller — shot Michael Linn Cross as he tried to run them over with his vehicle in an attempt to break free from a blockade of police vehicles. “When you don’t stop after officers try to stop you, bad things are going to happen,” Walton said. “Mr. Cross raised the level of danger for everyone involved. He endangered the lives of officers, he endangered the lives of civilians, and he endangered his own life.” Walton showed video from a squad car’s dashboard camera. The video showed Cross crashing his Chevy Blazer into an unmarked police van at the base of the bridge in Davenport shortly after midnight. He then put his vehicle in reverse and struck another unmarked vehicle that attempted to box him in. A marked squad car with lights flashing also attempted to block him. The three officers fired their weapons at Cross’s vehicle as he rapidly accelerated forward. Walton said the officers fired six rounds, and Cross sustained three gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening. The incident on the bridge lasted 1.03 seconds, Davenport Police Maj. Don Schaeffer said. Schaeffer said the officers fired their weapons because they felt they were in danger, adding that Cross turned his steering wheel “toward those …
Press Confernce talking about the Memorial Day Weekend DUI Checkpoints and Saturation Patrols
Impaired driving is a serious crime that kills more than 16000 people and injures 305000 others, every year, in the United States. Troopers, deputies, and officers will evaluate drivers for signs of alcohol impairment. Troopers, deputies, and officers will target those who operate a vehicle while impaired and take corrective actions for other violations observed, while ensuring the protection of all motorists. The Tennessee Highway Patrol, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department and the Clarksville Police Department recognize that sobriety checkpoints are highly visible and effective tools in the battle against impaired driving. The checkpoints and saturation patrol are being funded, in part, by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office. Raw video provided by freelancer Stephen Bolton Hyper Active Media for ClarksvilleEvents.com

Unconstitutional Sobriety Checkpoints
Unconstitutional sobriety checkpoints at Redhill and El Camino Real in Tustin, CA on Dec. 19th 2008. The police were pulling over every 5th vehicle with no probable cause for search and seizure and checking for driver’s licenses and whether or not the drive is under the influence. PAPERS PLEASE! The California Supreme Court has ruled that these are constitution even though the 4th Amendment reads: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” The police nagged me and asked me the usual loaded questions. One of the younger officers must have been really bored because he came over and debated with me for quite some time. Through out the entire ordeal I noted that many cars that we’re in violation of local laws, window tint, no front license plate, etc. were just being scooted through because they were not “#5”. I asked the officers why they didn’t ask these people to pull over as well. They said that I was missing the point and that’s not why they are here. Missing the point? I thought the point was to uphold the law in it’s entirety. I guess not. Thought if someone just across the street fired of a gun I’m sure they would respond, even though that’s not why they are there. I suggested that …
