A Louisiana police chief who received probation for forcing a drunk woman to perform oral sex on him in his office while he was on duty also violated her civil rights, a federal judge ruled Monday.
However, the judge did not specify whether or not former Sorrento Police Chief Earl Theriot would face any actual penalties.
A federal judge ordered the release of the dash cam video that sent a Missouri police officer to prison for four years.
The video shows Independence police officer Timothy Runnels walking up to the passenger side of a car driven by seventeen-year-old Bryce Masters, ordering him to roll the window all the way down.
Fearing a terrorist plot, an Alabama police officer snatched a camera from a man who was video recording a police station from across the street, turning the man’s camera off to keep it from recording.
However, the man had a back-up body camera that was live streaming.
“I don’t care about your First Amendment rights,” said the Wetumpka police officer, who has been identified as Charles Shannon.
“I don’t know if you’re a terrorist or not, trying to film our building.”

New York City Police Sergeant Diana Pichardo then snatched the phone from the man’s hands, yelling, “Give me that phone, motherfucker!,” while other cops entered and searched his apartment without a warrant.
But David Rivera – who installs security cameras for a living – had several surveillance video installed inside his apartment, capturing the warrantless invasion.
A Chicago cop who perjured herself under oath about showing a photo-lineup to a robbery victim who was shot in the leg during a liquor store stick-up was allowed to resign last week rather than face criminal charges – even after she confessed to prosecutors she committed the crime.
It started off as a routine traffic stop on a high school student in a residential neighborhood in Missouri with the cop getting angry that the teen was asking questions, so he tasered him for 20 seconds, sending the 17-year-old into cardiac arrest.
Independence police officer Timothy Runnels then yanked the boy out of the car, handcuffing him before picking him up and slamming him face first into a sidewalk, leaving the boy in a coma.
Runnels later claimed he had smelled marijuana in the car.
Three Bakersfield police officers were caught on video brutalizing a man with their batons and tasering him because he had jaywalked before running from officers in an apparent attempt to keep from being cited Monday evening.
“Stop resisting,” the California cops kept saying as they beat him.
“He’s not resisting,” said the man recording, who sent the footage to his local news station, preferring to remain anonymous.

Video surfaced this Memorial Day weekend showing police officers wrapping their arms around the neck of a 71-year-old Vietnam veteran and tackling him to the ground before handcuffing him inside a Veterans Administration clinic in El Paso.
His crime: He allegedly walked through a metal detector without first showing identification while having something on (or in) him that set the alarm off.
However, Jose Oliva said he placed his identification into the bucket with the rest of his belongings that were in his pocket to be screened.
A Detroit woman filed a lawsuit last week after Detroit cops serving a search warrant entered her home looking for marijuana shot and killed her three passive dogs, then turned to her and said, “I should have killed you, too.”
“They went around and killed them – like a death squad,” said Chris Olson, Smith’s attorney in an interview with the New York Daily News.
In the moments before he was shot and killed, Daniel Shaver was trying his best to comply with orders from Mesa police, specifically Sergeant Charles Langley, who was berating and threatening to kill him while barking out a series of confusing orders, according to a chilling transcript from an officer’s body camera released today.
