I keep saying that the only way to get anyone to take you seriously is to fucking sue. If you are abused by the police, they aren't about to admit it because then they would have no defense from either a law suit or criminal complaint against them.

So McCorvey is a dirtbag with a crack pipe and a previous prostitution conviction, standing around a high-prostitution area. Tackett's a garden-variety racist asshole cop.

The entire complaint is that the officer was "rude," albeit in a racist way? And that there wasn't probable cause to search him and find his crack pipe?

It's hard to give a shit about this. I don't think a jury would give a shit, either. Want to bet any money that McCorvey has run his case by all the lawyers in Portland who sue cops, and all of them have (prudently) turned him down?

a jury wouldnt hear evidence of his prior history because its not admissible under evidence rules. He never ran it by an attorney. I know that for a fact. he did this to effect change in the community. Why did they call him a pimp rather than a john? why did the officer at issue have a different story than Floyd and the other officer in training on multiple material aspects of the encounter. What relevance does past history have when the officers didnt know it at the time of the stop?

Please wait...
