They committed MANY crimes, but several are subsumed as lesser included offenses of the first degree felony (5-99 yrs or life) of aggravated robbery:

They committed theft by stealing the car, i.e. taking it from a person with a greater right of possession (the repo man) than they had. This theft was actually a robbery, because they effected the theft by committing an assault (placing repo man in fear of imminent use of physical force) in the process. Since that assault was committed by threatening him with a deadly weapon (firearms), it was actually an aggravated assault. Using a deadly weapon to furthers theft or robbery. Makes for the offense of aggravated robbery, with the aggravated assault, theft, and robbery offenses being lesser included offenses.

Furthermore, when the officers unlawfully handcuffed the repo man, holding I’m against his will, they committed the offense of unlawful restraint, a misdemeanor. But because they used deadly weapons to effect the restraint, they ratcheted their offense up to a felony: Kidnapping. Because they committed the kidnapping in furtherance of a felony (aggravated robbery, above, or Unauthorized Use of a Motor vehicle, below), they committed aggravated kidnapping, another first-degree felony, unless the kidnapper voluntarily released him in a safe place, which takes it back down to a second-degree felony (2-20 years in prison).

Finally, they committed the offense of Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, which is our joyriding statute, and makes it a felony to use a motor vehicle without the effective consent of the owner (the bank).

Have any of you so called experts examined the facts? 1. Tow truck wrecker driver scum has not filed charges. 2.Repo records were not legit. 3. Deputy involved has a long history with SO. 4. This scum bag driver tried his case in the court of public opinion, not a court of law.

My fist thought was…..If this repo man would have called 911 right after those deputies left and reported a car jacking at gunpoint, I think it wouldn’t have been so easy to sweep under the rug by the attorney’s office.
And my second thought…….I guess that old saying concerning women is true, It’s not who you know but who you b__w!

Luckily, the tow truck driver left his dog home that day.

Boyd the mistake you made in this argument is good cops there are no good cops. The police’s main function is to protect the government and their paychecks. What do you think is going to happen when TSHTF ? They sold their souls for thirty pieces of silver,they cannot their just rewards soon enough.

Again-every instance of police abuse can be traced back to this one thing-their insufferable arrogance and pride.

Obviously this means the deputy is criminally underpaid, and you don’t care about our brave public servants who all deserve raises.

Radley, you might be interested in this story; at least to add it to the growing list…

To get 4 months behind on car payments, the deputy and his wife would have had to ignore piles of mail and weeks of phone calls. I wouldn’t be surprised if the deputy had his wife drive the car only between their house and the impound yard.
So when the vehicle was finally towed, the deputy had to know it was a repo, ignoring any phone calls from the tow truck driver to the police dispatch.
So the deputy and his wife (and possibly deputies or other sheriff employees) formed an ongoing criminal conspiracy to deprive the finance company of their property, then engaged in armed response to steal the property back from the finance company’s agent.
If the Texas Rangers have any throw at all, the deputy and his wife should be serving long hitches in the state pen.

I actually laughed out loud after I wrote that. The deputy will get a write up and maybe a 2 day paid suspension, and somehow the car in question will be quietly paid off. No other deputies will face any discipline at all.

Obligatory Repo Man quote (along with plutosdad above):

Bud: Tense situations, kid. You get into five or six of ‘em a day, it don’t mean shit anymore. I mean, I’ve seen men stabbed, didn’t mean shit to me. I’ve seen guns, guns too, they don’t mean shit. But that’s when you gotta watch yourself.

Based on this, it sounds like the auto-theft task force actually stole the vehicle.

If cops are now of the attitude that they are exempt from having their cars repossessed, then banks and finance companies should no longer give them loans to buy vehicles.

The bad cop is corrupting all those good cops. How can they possibly refuse to help a brother out when pressured to assault a repo guy?

Man, if cops will break their oaths for this…imagine if it were something that actually mattered.

He should have shouted “If you shoot me, three more repo men will take my place!”

we had a few kids in the police academy who wanted to rent a place from us- they were stunned when we told them we weren’t interested. I can’t imagine trying to evict or collect late rent…
