San Joaquin Audits-UPDATE – Family Wins MILLIONS In Lawsuit
Original video: https://youtu.be/0HIe-vnBsO0
Welcome back to San Joaquin audits, in this video you’re going to see a mother and her 2 daughters get their rights violated by alameda county sheriffs for being parked outside of a Starbucks.
It’s videos like this that make people question if freedom is just an illusion because of what some people in this country have to deal with regarding police.
This interaction takes place in Castro valley, one of the daughters was on her way to take a college math test in Berkeley. Instead, she had her rights violated by these sheriffs and this family had their vehicle searched unlawfully.
The cops this video focuses on are deputies Steven holland and Monica pope, who observed the Cadillac for several minutes before running the plates and making contact.
Lets take a look at this interaction, stick around until the end because we’re going to breakdown this video and some of the issues displayed, as well as give an update to this situation, lets watch.
It’s at this point that Steven holland decides to go hands on and place the mother in cuffs.
From this point on the body camera footage was muted by deputy holland. Unfortunately cops are not held accountable when they do this, but this is a clear example of tampering with evidence and should be illegal, Who knows what kind of conversation these cops had while muted, it’s entirely possible they could’ve conspired to create false charges and stack extra charges on this family while they muted the footage, all this for refusing to give identification. Which is protected under the 4th amendment.
The loggervale family was held for about an hour before being allowed to leave, after these sheriffs determined there was no wrongdoing.
Now some of you watching this video may not think your rights are important but the constitution is the foundation on which this country was built upon, and the majority of Americans have more than enough reason to protect these rights, and in situations like this where this family’s rights were violated, there is enough reason to pursue litigation against this department, so that’s what they did.
The verdict was reached on march 1st following a 2-day civil trial before U.S. District court judge William alsup in San Francisco. The jury found deputy Steven holland liable for $2.7 million to the mother and $2 million to each daughter, they also found deputy Monica pope liable for $750,000 to both daughters. Totaling $8.2 million, sadly, both pope and holland have been promoted since this interaction, and the alameda county sheriffs department declined to give any statements regarding the situation.
It’s also alarming that this video footage and story has just now surfaced nearly 4 years later, after the trial took place.
It’s the lack of accountability and transparency that has boosted channels like mine and others alike, because the news platforms backed by corporate funds neglect to bring stories like this to our attention, as well as failing to push for these cops to face any consequences.
