    Though APD fired Eder on July 17, prosecutors officially refused to move forward with felony stalking charges in the case.

    Prosecutors are part of the problem

      especially the DA, wants to be re-elected, having campaign funds. prosecutors are likely in the same sitiautions, want to advance thier careers, needs police support/police donor support.

    An internal audit revealed Eder used police databases to monitor the victim over a five-month span.

    Eder turned himself into the Potter County Jail and was released on a single, $4,500 bond for all 78 charges combined.

    $4500 for 78 charges?? People get higher bail for selling weed.

    off-duty access of active body cameras was not an unusual practice within the department.

    Why the hell not?

    Though APD fired Eder on July 17, prosecutors officially refused to move forward with felony stalking charges in the case.

    Typical, they are looking out for their own.

    Because of that legal classification, the victim said the county attorney’s office initially told him it would be difficult for him to access standard victim advocacy services.

    WTF??

    Flock should be pushing for new regs here and for this guy to be prosecuted. It would make everyone more comfortable with the cameras.

    Flock is not going to be meaningfully regulated until a cop deletes a whole family in a public way.

    I would not be surprised if a cop had already done so privately and it’s just been covered up.
