so i got arrested yesterday so i was maybe going 30 in the baybrook mall parking lot, the part where it looks like a 4 lane road.. anyway, a houston cop pulls behind me after i leave the parking lot, gets on his bullhorn and says "pull the **** over" so i did, and he came up and yanked me out of my car, slammed me up against my car and cuffed me.. he then walked me over and slammed me against his car, took my wallet and got my drivers license and insurance and then put me in the back of his car. 2 wreckers show up, and in the mean time my gf is in my car flipping the **** out. about 10 minutes later he takes me out of his car, un cuffs me, apologizes for being a complete dick, and has me sign a ticket for speeding 40 in a 10 mph zone, but the location he gives is glenwest st, which runs behind the mall where i was pulled over, he didn't note anywhere where the 10 mph zone was. can he even give a ticket for this?

He did all that **** to you?
Yea... I'd do what Brian said. Im sure the camera on their dashboard has to be recording during a traffic stop or when they turn their lights on.

you didnt get arrested you got fucked. i would call his police chief and file a report. thats totally unnecessary. back in boston my friend got a ticket where they put the wrong street name and he got off the hook totally because the cop made a lameass mistake. even if the ticket sticks file a report on that douchers ***. i hate cops who think they **** ice cream, in reality thats most of them.

i didn't know they could give tickets in a mall parking lot...i thought it was private property, but google maps has a name for that loop i was speeding on, so maybe it is a public street..

once you cross between the curbs and go into the actual parking area that becomes baybrook mall property. that street that circles the parking lot is public. so yes he can write you a ticket, but he wrote the ticket using the wrong street name, so technically it COULD get thrown out, but depending on the judge that doesn't mean it will happen. if i were you i'de get with his unit and file a complaint like i mentioned BEFORE your day in court. that way you have some ammo to fire at the judge if he tries to make you pay the ticket.
i can already tell you the judge is going to try to get you to admit that you were speeding, regardless of what street it was on. if you are stupid enough to admit in open court that YES I WAS SPEEDING BUT THE COP WROTE THE WRONG STREET....the judge WILL make you pay that ****. DO NOT admit to the fact you were speeding, side step it at all costs, if they want to prove that you were speeding then ok...but you do have the right to the 5th amendment SO USE IT.

You didn't get arrested. Though it sounds like the cop overreacted
I'm surprised that HPD doesn't have cameras and mics. All of the APD traffic patrol guys are wired up. They want all the video and audio for court.
There was a big blow up a year ago when APD shot and killed a suspect in an apartment complex parking lot because in two of the three responding patrol cars the officers failed to activate their cameras. The **** hit the fan over that one.
We've seen Williamson County yell profanities through their PA, but we approved. They were clearing a bunch of dumbshit ricers out of a parking lot at a street meet and we were laughing our asses off at the insults the deputy was flinging at those ricer tards.

To be honest, once police lights are on as you are being pulled over, you really are under arrest! If you are wearing cuffs you are really arrested! The officer has the option to release you at any time during this process.
I know the area pretty well and where you were pulled over is fair game you can be arrested/detained given a ticket etc. The fact that the officer wrote the wrong street means nothing since it was possibly the closest named street to your location.
It is your option to fight this ticket in court. Now said officers demeanor should be addressed in court if indeed you have expressed to us everything that ocurred... Maybe you were a possible suspect,matching vehicle etc.

Yes, going by the technical legal definition, that is correct. Anytime someone is "detained" by law enforcement it is technically an arrest. But let's not get silly here. Every time you get pulled over you say you were "arrested"? No, you got pulled over. In common vernacular, if you take a ride downtown and get booked in... then you really have been arrested.

One thing you can do that we have done before is to call and ask to be connected to the cop that pulled you over. Tell him that the ticket is bogus and so were his actions, and that you have spoken with an attorney and he should consider dropping the ticket or you will be filing a formal complaint of his actions with the police commisioner. Because if a formal complaint is filed he is suspended with pay till it is figured out im pretty sure.
