I also don't think that Criminal Conspiracy would fly (it's possible, but difficult to prove, and most Texas DAs stay away from that charge). Criminal Responsibility might fly (again, depending on the facts and circumstances of the case).<BR/><BR/>In any event, that type of conduct is unacceptable in a law enforcement officer, and it is unacceptable for the Sheriff not to take strong and swift action to maintain the integrity of her department.TxBluesManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008395777633969757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-15544360433282311152008-04-30T08:11:00.000-05:002008-04-30T08:11:00.000-05:00The attitude and actions of the Dallas County Sher...The attitude and actions of the Dallas County Sheriff's Department certainly add new and deeper meaning to the rubric of "community caretaking" by law enforcement.<BR/><BR/>It looks like one or more of the Dallas Deputies involved might be vulnerable to some accusations of criminal conduct. Look at Penal Code section 7.02, Criminal Responsibility for Conduct of Another; Penal Code Chapter 71, Organized Crime; and Penal Code section 15.02, Criminal Conspiracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-36528869880561953522008-04-30T08:04:00.000-05:002008-04-30T08:04:00.000-05:00This would have been a very "dicey" call if the in...This would have been a very "dicey" call if the informant had in fact been a covert member of law enforcement and a cover team was readily available. I hope there is more to this story than we are reading (No, I do not know what else could create this type of decision to be made).<BR/><BR/>These police agency rivalries are getting out of hand ( or more succinct: individuals in these agencies).<BR/><BR/>Retired 2004Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
