[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard As someone who worked in Conroe, and worked closely with both the Conroe PD, and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, along with the Texas Department of Public Safety, I can promise you, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Dept runs on the good ole boy system. If your not one of them, your the enemy....including other law enforcement agencies. I would doubt very seriously Stokes will every get an apology, although the Sheriff's Dept. might drop the charge. And bet on Stokes getting followed home, and every where else, if he lives in Montgomery County. My former employer, The Office of the Attorney General, State of Texas, has quite a large "file" on the good ole boys...as does the Texas Rangers(an arm of the DPS)...they dont play fair, and dont plan on changing anytime soon.... [/quote] What he said. One of the reasons I bought a place in neighboring Liberty county is so that I would NOT have to deal with Montgomery county law enforcement or politics. These boys do not have the best track record (see below) [quote]QUOTE: Maybe some big-shot civil-rights lawyer as well as some news media should go down and make their lives miserable. It's pretty rediculous that law enforcement can play by the very rules they are supposed to enforce; it just makes them look like hypocrits.[/quote] There already is one. His name is *** Deguerin. He succesfully defended Robert Durst and was counsel for David Koresh. This is tangential to the railroading incident, but Deguerin broke into the big time while defending one Clarence Brandley on a murder charge in Montgomery county. While I am not the most frothing "the man be keeping me down" type, this story is a fine illustration of the type of thing with which this engineer was confronted. This is the most balanced and factual (i.e. not wild-eyed leftist) link I could come up with on this: [url]http://www.thebulletin.com/archives/2002/april/whitewash.htm[/url] Like I said, nothing to do with railroads, but it does illustrate Montgomery County business as usual. The book "White Lies" by Nick Davies is an engrossing book on the subject, particularly to anyone familair with the area.
