STOCKTON CA ARREST
Harry Walters, Jr. - County Fair - Stockton CA - Harry buys a beer - Stockton PD Officers ask him for ID - Say they will pour out his beer if he does not show his ID - Harry gives the beer to his girlfriend's father - Harry makes a video recording of what the cops do and say - other cops gather and watch Harry - some cops come over and talk to Harry - He records video of what he says and what the cops say to him - this goes on for some time - the cops later come back and arrest Harry - handcuff him - take him to PD shack at the fair - take his video camera away - then take Harry to the County Sheriff jail in a patrol car - Harry is booked - then later released - charged with California PC 514.3 - "Any person who uses offensive words in a public place which are inherently likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction" - Stockton PD Officers write up a police report - send it to the County DA's office the following Tuesday - the DA reads the police report - He decides no charges will be filed against Harry at all - the video recording now shows the Stockton PD officers did rewind the tape to the start of the fair footage - then recorded over prior recorded audio & video of Harry and the PD Officers talking - thus, the Stockton PD officers willfully destroyed the evidence - That conduct on the part of the Stockton PD Officers is unlawful.
