Apparently the DA wants access to footage for trials and were denied.

Under the “Live PD” access agreement with the county, however, producers own all the footage and could destroy it in 30 days.

Really surprised they would sign that agreement. I guess the politicians want that publicity bad. I know back in the heyday of Cops that the Police Department had rights of First Refusal on everything filmed. They were allowed to view all footage and cut anything they didn’t want on TV. I figured it would still be that way.

Would be kind of hard to do that since Live PD is airing most of the footage semi-live (on short delay). Cops wasn’t live

DA can’t do his job properly so has to depend on a TV show to do his job

You don't need that footage if you put body cams on all the cops

Sounds like a cheap county to me

Anyone who lives anywhere close to Williamson County knows how corrupt the law enforcement is.

Coincidence?

Just yesterday I was talking with somebody about the one cop who just made lieutenant who pulled over that attorney for driving too slow. I think he was going to get ice cream for his granddaughter. That was one of the most painful segments of that show I've ever seen. That officer was not quite the servant that evening.

Goodbye Williamson Cty. You will not be missed.

Pretty much. The advent of cameras has made DAs lazy and many have a “if it’s not on video it didn’t happen” type of approach so they don’t have to actually argue a case.

I thought Kennedy and the other cop they followed (Mex-looking dude) were the biggest assholes Live PD has had. I wont miss 'em.

Did you see that episode where the attorney that wrote the law got pulled over for "going to slow?"
Officer Bag: "This is a known drug neighborhood."

I read that Live PD cancelled on them because one of the sheriffs was a real frickin weirdo and put a bet on who would frick one of the producers.

That same guy just got in the news again for posting some weird arse Facebook shite

The court decided to end the contract Aug. 20 following allegations against Commander Steve Deaton for inappropriate behavior, such as challenging deputies in a meeting to have sex with a female “Live PD” producer. ? Precinct 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long and Covey previously tried to end the contract with the show in May, saying the show did not accurately portray life in the county. Long said during the Aug. 20 meeting that if the employee had worked for her, he would have been fired immediately.
