it is shocking how this clown officer is allowed to have a gun , badge , and a car that goes 140 MPH. this is the new version of the GOON squad.

how can the attorney general represent these corrupt officers and at the same time be tasked with the job of rooting out corrupt officers? hello miz fitch....just what side are you on?

Chamber should apply for a position with Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey’s “Goon Squad.” He’d fit right in. Sad. We should not have to live in fear of law enforcement officers.

Well done by WLBT. What the hell about that woman looked suspicious? Fire the whole department and the Rez Board.

I have read a bunch of the pleadings and watched the news story reservoir patrol were absolutely out of control in this incident. Flowood “retired” the dog shortly after the incident. The motions to dismiss on some of the issues will be granted on technical grounds, but the meat of the claims ought to to stand. Personally, I hope Billy Quin hammers the shit out of the defendants.

Good luck trying to defeat the machine.

They've moved along to Pinelake security, Natchez Trace Patrol, Capitol Police out of state agencies all over US.

This is Lumumba level bungling and stupidity.

Saw this on the news last night. There was recorded footage of the officer talking to another officer and saying "she was answering questions so fast, and had answers for everything." That apparently, and surprisingly, was used as a basis for searching her vehicle. They will have a hard time with that in court.

My bad. Name is Chamblee

When a drug dog smells drugs, they sit. That is the sign they have encountered them. WLBT showed the footage from the search scene. That dog, NEVER responded, even when directed back and forth multiple times. I hate to say this but he had him a woman on the side of the road and basically took her car apart because he could. He needs to go give up a little booty at parchment to level out his attitude and show him who he is around people who are tougher than he is when he has no gun in his belt.

Well, my lease fees are gonna go up. Good job by CJ and WLBT.

I can’t help but wonder why two different police chiefs are willing to put their and their departments’ credibility on the line to back this guy.

I watched that.

Highly suspicious that their suspect could answer a qeustion like where she is originally from (Meridian) instantly.

Talk about your confirmation bias.

Effing idiots with badges, guns and qualified immunity.

As a white male I no longer trust law enforcement. If I were on a jury on any type of case I wouldn’t believe anything out of a policeman’s mouth

I have a gun and a badge and makes me above the law! I can do anything I won’t

Back the blue!

The entire so-called justice system in our country is anything but. Dip shit LEO's like Brady Chamblee need to be in a database insuring that they never wear the badge anywhere in this country ever again.

Can they rescind his “top cop 2025” award? https://darkhorsepressnow.com/news/2025-05-13/top-cops-named-for-2025-at-yearly-luncheon-in-jackson/

You don't strip a vehicle's interior out at the side of the road and not do damage.

These crooked cops are driven by "confirmation bias." The only box that they weren't able to check off was "driving while black."

Retired LEO makes it about race when it was impossible to make it about race. Hard to make it up but who cares since nobody gives a ____ about race hustlers playing the race card anymore.

Idiots with authority are everywhere. So blinded by power that they can't change their intentions, even when the facts prove otherwise.

This isn't about race. It is about Civil Asset Forfeiture. These thugs wanted to steal everything she has and they can if they can find a single crumb of weed anywhere in her vehicle. If people want to get outraged then get outraged about these fuckers having the ability to rob us like highwaymen!

Yes 8:35 idiots with authority are everywhere; including lazy idiot judges, overzealous idiot prosecutors, idiot defense attorneys filled with nothing but greed, idiot members of parole boards that turn convicted rapists loose to murder a child after serving only 3 years of a 10 year sentence. The list could go on and on proving this joke scam we call a “justice system.” Yet almost none of them are ever held accountable.

Even when they are clearly in the wrong????

Bless your heart.

@1:26 AM, agreed. And long have I believed that an officer is equally as likely to lie under oath as is a criminal defendant.

Of course it wasn't about race. The citizen is WHITE. My comment was "The only box that they WEREN'T able to check off was "driving while black." Reading comprehension issue?

"These thugs wanted to steal everything she has and they can if they can find a single crumb of weed anywhere in her vehicle."

That is absolutely not true.

How do you know???

Am posting this for a reader who couldn't get the site to work.

There will be a part 3 next week. I am very familiar with this case. They destroyed her suv beyond repair and had to get a new car. This is about an expired tag. This was pure abuse. Give a ticket and move on, but they wanted to drag her through the coals. She tried to video the dog but they didn’t want her to do that so they handcuffed and put her in a hot police car for 2 hours. Unbelievable!!!

I hate Illinois nazis & cops like this!

Every time a cop gets offed in a “routine traffic stop” I think “this time he smarted off to the wrong method head.”

Did the driver consent to the search? I was stopped once with one them Frank Melton roadside searches & was informed "I'm gonna search your pickup"...When I told him "Officer, you DO NOT have my permission to enter my vehicle" it was like his train of thought just threw a connecting rod out the side of the block...A few minutes later I was on my way!

She mentioned that her husband is was a former LeO. I’m wondering if the flock cameras were used to determine if the car was in his name and if they had something against her husband and they were taking it out on him. What the hell is going on in Rankin? This is corrupt to the core.

You care to explain your 'motions to dismiss' comment?

Just one more glaring example of why this state agency should not be a state agency. As if Seligman was not enough reason to disband this bunch of yahoos all the years he was strutting around, in charge, like a banty rooster.

Rodriguez v. United States (2015): Held that officers cannot prolong a completed traffic stop to conduct a dog sniff without independent reasonable suspicion

I wonder what the officers are arguing their “reasonable suspicion” was? They held her until Flowood could get there with the dog which violates Rodriguez.

Citizens who regularly drive the roads around the reservoir should think about attending the next public meeting at PRVWSD. The comment made after the car was destroyed in the search was , “I hate we didn’t find anything”. Disgraceful!!! Also comical to see the board members wearing mismatched socks.

The police are the new bad guys now. Law enforcement can’t be trusted

Police are real brave aren’t they! It takes a real man to bully a woman

What is it about Rankin that makes seemingly every story along these lines come out of that specific county?

In all seriousness, I hope that she gets all of the punitive damages that MS law allows. I suspect that punitive damages are limited against officers, even as to dipshit officers who hurt people on purpose, like this guy. However, I hope she gets every red cent out of him (and the agency that hired him too, although I doubt that punitive damages are available against police departments).

Also, I find it hard to imagine that lying to a police force on your job application isn't a crime. If so, then throw the book at this guy...

3:58-Dirty cops, Rankin County, well documented.Sheriff Bryan Bailey offender No.1. Never forget.

#1. Well it's the Rez "police" so there is that...
#2. Fired? No. Arrested, charged, prosecuted and incarcerated, plus restitution and civil suit award.

Anyone know why this is not a US 1983 suit in federal court?

Blue lives matter!

The same way that job represents all state funded LEO in every agency that has them.

Most importantly, is this LEO PERS vested?

There is a December 2020 WJTV clip on youtube where a Pelahatchie police officer is disarmed by the man he is trying to arrest. "

Some of the local people on the internet are saying it is this officer. The officer in the video appears to be about 5 foot 4 inches and 125 lbs dripping wet. The officer's face is visible in the video.

Bystanders took the perpetrator down, reportedly to keep the perpetrator from being shot by the officer.

The officer appears to makeat least one mistake, but I am not an expert.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRTnGSQ6Erk

If the officer violated her civil rights, he should be prosecuted. Whoever is in charge of enforcing. These things should not need reminding or arm, twisting to go ahead and move forward with it. The system allows these things therefore it must be that the system wants these things.

His first mistake was choosing that line of work being that size.

Take away the qualified immunity and a lot of this bs goes away. Ironically, qualified immunity found its roots here in Mississippi, so I'm told.

Further, I remember when those cars were labeled Reservoir PATROL, not POLICE. There's a difference in what legally those officers can do. Despite what those ghost marked SUVs and trucks say, those guys are nothing but glorified park rangers. That's gonna bruise some egos but it's the truth and why they have to wait for real sworn law enforcement to show up to do any legitimate policing.

Because it's a Section 1983 suit in state court that also alleges state law claims under the Tort Claims Act.

This is the same agency that, during COVID restrictions, posted photos of themselves enjoying the Reservoir while the public was prohibited from boating and fishing long the shore.

Looks like they got promotions and awards since the stop. Chamblee got Top Cop award 1.5 month after. Chief Dipuma got First Responder of the Year in November. Goes to show you there was no punishment or admonishment internally whatsoever. This kind of culture and environment breeds no accountability and encourages the idea of forcing to squeeze something out of nothing. They were trying to hit a jackpot of drugs and thought they were going to get praise, glory, and high promotions. You can see that in the body camera footage when two of them were upset and said they are sorry they didn’t find anything.

And what is Flowood’s body cam policies and procedures? He turned his body camera off before the K-9 search began. Does anyone know how to find out what their policies are?

to 5:37... .... im not sure about policies but you can bet your last dollar that flowood deeply regrets ever getting in bed with the bozos of the reservoir patrol.
flowood pd now has now blocked any calls from reservoir patrol and their miniature cop chamblee.

"The most dangerous thing in life is an incompetent with a gun and a law enforcement badge." - Steven Mage

I hope she is awarded the dollar value of a new car after lawyer fees and her time

Brady List Chamblee End qualified immunity and these terrorists will pull back into their shells

We need to shut that department down, and turn the building into a rec-hall for the fire dept. We don’t need Rez police

They need to 100%.
