I read someplace when a hoh or deaf person is pulled over nothing can used against them if they didn't an interpreter at the time .

Am looking for info on this but from the little I've read/know, if a driver ASKS for an interpreter and the police officer does not provide one then I would think that nothing can be used against them because it would be difficult to prove that the driver understood anything. If the HOH or deaf person doesn't ask for an interpreter and uses writing back and forth, then that proves the person understood what is going on.
 
It is so sad that women are still not getting equal rights as men.

I agreed with Jim Harrington, director of the Texas Civil Rights Project, spoke with Texas Standard about the footage of the arrest, point-by-point. The police officer wanted to be the boss or dominant over a woman to do his bidding, even she was from out of state. He does not like to be told by her and she knows all about laws as she is very smart woman (I like that about her being confidence and brave, but she was in danger because of him). Women had been harassed a lot from men of all walks of life. Maybe it is because of her race but the men seem to dominate over women to get what they want from women.

Sandra Bland should not have gone through with him just because it was a traffic stop or maybe that he tailed her or followed her until she was pulled over to the curb.

One thing that amazed me that the video that show a lot of omissions of the cars being vanished from the video. I could not understand what the background conversation was said, no close captioned. I watched the entire video facing her car, not the ground where she was off from view. It looked like someone was trying to remove the some of the film on the video that they don't want us to know. Also the tow truck driver had appeared several times doing the same thing over and over. So what gives with the video?

It is a shame that the ambulance technicians did not bothered to bring her to the hospital for observation and to make sure she was not severely hurt. This would have save her life instead of being in the cell or jail. Everything over there were all wrong on what they were doing with a civilian, especially a woman. She was all alone with all that crap from them. No one took her side or be there for her to support her. Now she is gone forever.

We will never know what happen in the cell that she was being held in. I don't think she committed suicide at all. Something was not right with this. Someone murdered her because she happened to be a woman or black or both.

Rest In Peace, Sandra Bland. :(
 
rather different vids....that cop got live with himself and police work is not for him

Texas officials have released the autopsy report for a black woman found dead in a county jail three days after a confrontation with a white officer during a traffic stop. (See autopsy report; Warning graphic details)

The 11-page report released Friday corroborates findings detailed a day earlier by Waller County officials who said 28-year-old Sandra Bland committed suicide by hanging on July 13. Toxicology results are still pending....

Autopsy report supports suicide ruling

Autopsy report:

http://dig.abclocal.go.com/ktrk/PICS/JULY15/072415-autopsy.pdf

The report indicated that there no signs of a struggle on her body.

I notice on the report that she had 25-30 healed incisions on her arm. I wonder if she was a cutter, which would be more evidence that she was a troubled young lady.

If that was the case she should been a suicide watch and had all objects removed from her cell that she could harm herself with. And she should been brought to have a mental health evaluation . Her rights were violated . :( And why was she being held so long for a traffic violation ??

I thought it was odd she was held so long but wonder if she was there so long because it was a weekend (she was arrested July 10- a Friday) thus no court in session (and nobody coming forward to bail her out).

As for if she should have been a suicide watch, there's no way the police could have known her mental health history- she didn't necessarily act in a manner to warrant a suicide watch or a mental health evaluation from everything I'm seeing. The healed wounds (if they saw them) to them could have meant a number of things.

With all the stuff happening today you would the police would try to cover their asses and put her on a suicide watch. It's common sense . It had to been frighten being locked in a jail just for freaken traffic violation.

Her incarceration was definitely mishandled, and needs to be investigated.
 
I don't believe she was being suicide because first of all why the plastic trash bag for hanging? Does not make any sense on her doing this. The police department was making her be the bad person in the mugshot and whatever was going on in her cell. There is still something fishy going over there. The police department is covering their evidences over her. They just want you to believe them. Do the Texas Police Department being honest? No, I don't believe them. Yes, we need proof of evidence on the investigation.

She was from out of state in Chicago, Illinois. She was suppose to work at her career in Texas. But somehow things were not working out for her because of that traffic stop for signal turning lights. This is no big deal about the turning signals. Lot of cars do not use turning signal lights. I seen them not using. I use my turning signal lights but sometimes I forget or the signal click back after you try to use signal turning lights on. This is just normal when it come with electricity. No one is perfect. So this damn police officer was making a big molehill out of the big situation with her. It is uncalled for. She does not need to go through this tirade. It made me upset very much.

EDIT: I read what the autopsy. She was supposed to go to Houston, Texas for a job interview. I believe that she could not get her car back and she would lose her interview because of a simple traffic stop. I don't know if she committed suicide because of this tirade. I don't think she would never have done that if only the ambulance people took her to the hospital but they ignored her. No matter what, they managed to cover up their evidences for themselves. Look at the proof of the videos. There is something fishy going on there. Another thing was Sandra Bland's mugshot which was shown on the right of the mugshot. This was shown as evidence to be her bad mugshot which look like she was dead. The left mugshot of Sandra Bland was a fake. This does not make sense any of all these.

Yeah the police tired to keep the video from the police car from being release to the public and it shows the police moving away from his car and out sight of the camera , he could had made a sexual assault against the woman . I agree there something very fishy and disturbing about the whole thing . When people get pulled over from a traffic violation they're given a warning if this is their time and have no outstanding tickets, or the police write up a ticket and tell the person they have 30 days to appeal it .
I never heard of anything being throw in jail for failing to give a signal .
That policeman should be fired , he is has too much anger to be on the job.
