Brickbat: Texas Two-Step

Thomas Lukassek / Dreamstime.com

Bexar County, Texas, Precinct 2 constable deputies ordered a blood draw on a woman involved in a traffic accident without first obtaining a warrant and tried to have EMTs perform a cavity search of her. All this happened apparently because one deputy mistook the smell of the woman's airbag deploying for marijuana. Deputies later showed up at a fire station trying to get statements from firefighters who responded to the crash about the presence of marijuana in her car, which the fire chief said appeared to be an effort to influence the how the firefighters would word their statements. The woman was not charged in connection with the crash.

What a clown show. Imagine if these law enforcement professionals put that kind of time and effort into learning their craft.

I find this shocking!

There are places in Texas that call police constables?

Steve Jobs is dead.
Johnny Cash is dead.
Bob Hope is dead.

We have no jobs, no cash and no hope. Everybody pray for the health of Kevin Bacon. 🙂

Good for the ACLU, didn't think they would defend "homophobes" anymore.

Everyone knows well the constitutional provisions that approve of anything that simplifies and speeds up a constables job. What is the problem here? Why is that druggie not already convicted and in jail?

Didn't some dumbass cop get fired recently for manhandling a nurse when she wouldn't give him permission to get a blood draw from an accident victim without a warrant?

I think you're talking about this case from Utah in Sep 2017. The police behavior in that case was arguably even more outrageous than the example above (in that not only were they violating the driver's constitutional rights, they arrested the nurse for refusing to participate) but I don't recall the any police being fired for it.

The cop was fired, eventually:

Good thing Deputy Dogg didn't mistake the sound of the woman's airbag deploying for gunshots.

You guys ever smoked an airbag? That's some goooood shit

Start working at home with Google! It's by-far the best job I've had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to tech tab for work detail.\

They should have gone after the car manufacturer for making airbags that smell like marijuana!
