Except Pais arrived from his van AFTER the action had happened. Whether his badge was visible or not would not have affected the accused's perception of the initial encounter with Lisa and Northrupp. And if he's driving around, why would his badge be visible?..... He's not interacting with the public until he exits the car to arrest a guy who just killed a cop.So more testimony and video evidence released today.
First off, Const Pais was caught perjuring himself after he admitted in cross examination that he punched the driver in the face AFTER he had handcuffed him and he was kneeling on the ground! He said 'you just ran over a cop/my partner' when he punched the.handcuffed suspect in the face.
But yesterday (according to news coverage) the LYING FUCKING POS said in examination in chief that he hit him in the face while he was in the drivers seat because he was non-responding to his commands. Implying or shading his testimony that it was innocent and lawful to cause compliance with his ostensibly lawful order.
WHEN THE FUCK WILL THESE LYING FUCKING BULLIES WITH BADGES EVER GET CHARGED FOR ASSAULT, PERJURY and all the other criminal acts they get away with?
Second, you'll notice in this screenshot of the police body cam that Const LIAR Pais does not himself have any badge visible! He was wearing a zip up sweatshirt and crew neck black t-shirt that he'd really have had to struggle to pull his badge on a chain up and over to be visible. And before anyone says oh, maybe he had it in his badge wallet and just put it back... yeah right! In all that self-described split second action he would have dropped his walkie talkie (visible in his hand) or used his off-hand to pull out his badge and then put it back away?
And yes, he's an asshole. But that's beside the point.
You an see also in the next screen capture that the fingerprint powder shows somebody with a big right hand had slammed once on the drivers window, and then the hand slid in a direction indicating that the door was being opened from the inside. Then multiple left hand prints on the door frame to pull it open! No hand prints visible on the door handle. This suggests to this CSI Miami amateur Detective that the driver opened the door from the inside once someone with a big hand put their hand on the window!
Notice no small hand prints that might have been from Sgt Lisa?

The hand prints are too smudged to really ground much of any conclusions about anything.
I think the badge would still be visible. The question is whether the accused asked what was happening or tried to get any explanation from the cops. I don't think you can simply assume hostile purpose under s. 34. There has to be an imminent threat.Now for Schlong Connery's next exhibit... notice that Det Lisa is notably short in stature. And has a nice rack ( o ) ( o ) on her!
And notice how low her badge is hanging? And that she has her oversized zippered sweatshirt open?
In the heat of the moment when her naturally shaded self-serving testimony was that she "approached the car with purpose", is it unreasonable for some mild mannered slightly built father and husband who has might have heard some fast footsteps approaching as he jumped into the car and slammed the door shut.. that her badge on the ballchain was swinging or not readily visible? Her T-shirt had some big metallic logo on it too. Easy for the lack of contrast or otherwise fail to identify the little badge bouncing around with her sweater puppies bouncing around. No?
Even if he saw some glance of what appeared to be a badge, in the heat of the moment and given the context of her scruffy appearance in an unexpected "approach with purpose" how can he ascertain if it was even an authentic police badge? Look at her. She is dressed roughly enough to look like a druggieaggressively panhandlingahem "approaching with purpose"? Same with the late Const Northrup. He looks scruffy, as he intended to in his old clothes role!
I actually don't have a problem with the female cop's testimony because it describes exactly what I think would have been happening.
But again this happened afterwards, when the cop had been killed and the white van had slammed the accused's car.There is so much more to unpack in today's testimony alone. FFS, the two nice white cars waiting to pay to exit, fucking roared off and busted through the gates when they heard the commotion. It's gonna take some real action to cause two people to knowingly damage their own nice new cars to get the fuck outta there. Would be interesting to coordinate/match time stamps to see if the cars roared off on the sound of yelling or the BMW's tire squealing or the minvan blocking impact.
So yeah, scared bystanders fucking off as fast as they can.
