Statement of allegation (Give complete Details): ON 10/25/2017 I REQUESTED (FOIA for the second time) A COPY OF A VIDEO THAT WAS USED TO OBTAIN SEARCH WARRANT #5332 OF MY HOME 286 TIMBERLAKE DRIVE DANVILLE, VIRGINIA. CORPORAL SAMEUL BRAY STATED ON THE AFFIDAVIT FOR SEARCH WARRANT #5332__”THE MALES FLED ON FOOT AND DIRECTLY BEHIND THEM ON VIDEO IS A WHITE TOYOTA CAMRY TRAVELING IN THE SAME DIRECTION THE SUSPECTS FLED IN” ON THIS SAME AFFIDAVIT HE STATES “THE SUSPECT FLED IN A NEWER MODEL TOYOTA CAMRY” HE EVEN GOES ON THE STATE THAT DAMAGE ON VEHICLE CAN BE SEEN ON VIDEO. THIS INFORMATION WAS RELEASED TO PUBLIC TO ENSURE PUBLIC CONVICTION SO THAT A JURY TRIAL WAS NOT AN OPTION FOR MY SON. ON THE BWC THE VICTIM BRIAN MOORE DOES NOT SAY IT WAS A NEWER TOYOTA CAMRY NOR IN COURT HE DID NOT SAY THIS. IT IS CLEAR THAT CORPORAL BRAY HAS LIED ON THE AFFIDAVIT TWICE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND CHARGED. THIS VIDEO WAS NOT IN MY SON’S DISCOVERY OF EVIDENCE, NOR WAS THE EXTRACTION REPORT OF MY SON’S CELL PHONE_ALSO CORPORAL S.BRAY CONVENIENTLY COVERS HIS BWC TO USE TO HIS ADVANTAGE. HE WAS LEAD OFFICER EXECUTING A SEARCH WARRANT AT MY HOME 286 TIMBERLAKE DRIVE DANVILLE, VA…HE IS CLEARLY SEEN COVERING BWC WITH HIS NOTEBOOK, AND WHEN HIS NOTEBOOK IS LOWERED DURING THE SEARCH HIS CAMERA IS OBSTRUCTED SO THAT THE PUBLIC AND/OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN NOT REVIEW HIS ACTIONS, HOWEVER WHILE INTERVIEWING MY SON HE IS CAREFUL TO ALWAYS TURN ON HIS BWC WITH VIDEO AND AUDIO WORKING PROPERLY WITH AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW TO ENSURE ANY AND ALL INCRIMINATING STATEMENTS MADE BY MY SON COULD BE REVIEWED BY THE PUBLIC AND/OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A VIOLATION OF DEPARTMENTAL POLICY AND OPERATING PROCEDURE. OPR. 169 CLEARLY STATES…..“THE BODY WORN CAMERA WILL BE WORN IN SUCH A WAY TO PROVIDE AN UNOBSTRUCTED CAMERA VIEW OF OFFICER/CITIZEN CONTACT”….CORPORAL BRAY CLEARLY VIOLATED THAT POLICY AS WELL…HIS ACTIONS ARE CLEARLY OUT OF COMPLIANCE AND DO NOT ADHERE TO THE PROCEDURE SET AS THE STANDARD TO MONITOR OFFICER/CITIZEN CONTACT.....HE WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL WHILE CONDUCTING AN INTERVIEW WITH MY SON .. HE GOT ANGRY BECAUSE HE COULD NOT GET A CONFESSION AND BEGAN TO HURL INSULTS AT MY SON CALLING HIM A “PANZY” WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO CALLING HIM A HOMOSEXUAL….THIS OFFICER HAS A PATTERN OF ILLEGAL SEARCH WARRANTS AND MISCONDUCT AND THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE INFORMED OF HIS BEHAVIOR AND THE SEE HOW THE POLICE CHIEF AND SUPERVISORS ARE NOT CHECKING HIS REPORTS..CORPORAL S.BRAY INFLUENCED SAHEEM WADDELL TO TESTIFY AGAINST JOSHUA COLEMAN AND JEVON WILLIAMS…SAHEEM’S MOM EVEN KNEW
HOW MUCH TIME HE WOULD SERVE IF HER SON TESTIFIED AND THEY ARE SEEN DISCUSSING WHAT HAD BEEN PROMISED TO HER SON IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS TESTIMONY. JUDGE MILAM WAS DEFINITELY IN ON THIS ONE TOO. DETECTIVE BRAY OBTAINED ARREST WARRANTS TO CHARGE MY SON WHEN HE CALLED THAT SAME NIGHT AND CONFIRMED THE CRIME HAPPEN IN ANOTHER STATE…HOW CAN THE PUBLIC BELIEVE THE DANVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS TRYING TO BE TRANSPARENT WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH DECEIT WITH ITS OFFICERS ESPECIALLY IN THE POOR AND OR/ BLACK COMMUNITIES…IF ONE CANNOT AFFORD COUNSEL OFFICERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO GET A CONVICTION OR THE EVIDENCE THEY NEED TO CHARGE A SUSPECT.. ….IT IS VERY APPARENT THAT RULES OR LAWS DO NOT APPLY TO CORPORAL BRAY….THEREFORE I AM ASKING FOR A FULL INVESTIGATION OF THE MISCONDUCT OF CORPORAL SAMEUL BRAY…”DEEDS NOT WORDS”……OR DOES THIS MOTTO MEAM NOTHING THANKS IN ADVANCE..
