Send a textAll my lawyers in the house—this one’s for you. You already know what you’re about to see, because the moment you put body camera, the police report, and the law director’s letter side-by-side, the argument collapses. ????Today we’re walking through North Royalton’s justification for altering a police report using the phrase everyone loves to throw around: “prosecutorial discretion.” The problem? The way it’s being used here has nothing to do with what prosecutorial discretion actually means.Here’s what we’re covering:The traffic stop and the officer’s documented observations supporting an OVI investigationThe discovery of firearms and why that fact matters in the historical recordThe controversy over an edited incident report (and what’s missing)Why the Sundance audit log is the key public record—and why I’m suing for itThe law director’s two core legal errors:confusing prosecutorial discretion with authority to rewrite investigative recordstreating suppression as if evidence never existedThis isn’t about whether a prosecutor should file a charge. That decision belongs to the prosecutor. This is about record integrity—because once the factual record becomes negotiable, the system stops documenting truth and starts managing narrative.Drop your thoughts in the comments: If “nothing improper happened,” why fight the audit log so hard?#NorthRoyalton #PublicRecords #PoliceAccountability #FourthAmendment #OVI #GovernmentTransparency #TheInfamousExChiefhttps://www.theinfamousexchief.comSupport the showVisit: https://www.liinks.co/the.infamous.exchief
