So now an inmate's account is credible???

Texas Rangers, FBI, come TF on!

We know the easiest way for the Sheriff to rub out Ms. Bland is have another prisoner do the job. That's the advantage of having her in a cell as far from that camera as possible.

Who is supervising Waller County? No one, they are parallel investigations. Hen-house a slaughter, and Foxes are investigating.

WTF!

There were no other inmates in that cell. The FBI and DOJ are monitoring the investigation. Yo_Mama Jul 2015 #1

My understanding (I searched for info yesterday) is that the feds are supposed to be reviewing both the dash cam video and the jail video to ensure that no one tampered with them.

The Texas state authorities are involved, and so are the Feds, and the FBI is supposed to be in on the final report.

I don't think there will be a coverup here.

that camera will start recording when the motion sensor detects movement.

These cameras have been seen to fail at times just from slow movement not being detected.

And that camera's motion detector can be defeated by simply holding a sheet of cloth up, like a blanket, and moving slowly across the field of view.

been coming into my room while I was gone. I can set the sensitivity on it to where it will go off if a fly flies past it, or high enough that you have to basically be in front of it waving your arms for it to go off.

I have the camera high enough that the dog or cats won't set it off, but can't have it pointed at my ceiling fan either, or that will set it off. I can also turn off the LED indicator so nobody knows that it is on, and the program runs in the background. This only cost $29.99... surely the jail has a better curtain, and they would WANT to see if someone, especially an inmate, was trying to cover the camera up so they could get away with something....

Peace,

Ghost
