·1· ·owned or ran called Confessions, and then talked to me
·2· ·about, I guess, the local businesses that they would
·3· ·give discounts to if you had that bracelet.
·4· · · · · · · · And he showed me a list on his phone.· So
·5· ·he gave me his phone.· And I was looking through it.
·6· ·And then I believe that's when other detectives or
·7· ·officers showed up on scene and began to speak with
·8· ·Mr. Anderson.
·9· · · · · · · · And then, like I said, after he was taken
10· ·into custody, I have a cage and everything in my car,
11· ·so I transported him to the police station for
12· ·detectives.
13· · · · · · · · I don't -- I remember it was pretty close
14· ·to the station where he started complaining about his
15· ·wrists hurting.· So that's when I just decided, let's
16· ·get to the police station, but notified everyone here
17· ·that Mr. Anderson was having discomfort in his wrists
18· ·when we got here.
19· · · · · · · · He asked for an ambulance.· I called for
20· ·one on the radio.· He got checked out by medics here.
21· ·And then I believe he requested transport.· So I rode
22· ·in the ambulance with him.
23· · · · · · · · Once we were there, kind of waited for
24· ·them -- for him to be checked out, and then I believe
25· ·we did the court-ordered evidence collection, and I

·1· · · · · ·Q.· ·If you were transporting someone like
·2· ·Mr. Anderson, would they be in the cage?
·3· · · · · ·A.· ·Yes.
·4· · · · · ·Q.· ·Do you recall where in the vehicle in the
·5· ·cage?· Was it the passenger's side?· The driver's
·6· ·side?
·7· · · · · ·A.· ·Not -- I mean, typically I'll do behind
·8· ·the passenger's seat.· And I believe that's the way --
·9· ·because I'm not sure if that car had a half cage or a
10· ·full cage, depending on which one.· But typically it
11· ·will be behind the passenger's seat.
12· · · · · ·Q.· ·Is that so you can keep an eye on the
13· ·arrestee?
14· · · · · ·A.· ·Yeah.· That, and I guess there's those
15· ·horror stories about having people who still have
16· ·weapons on them behind you, directly behind you in a
17· ·patrol car, so . . .
18· · · · · ·Q.· ·Do you have any -- does your patrol car
19· ·have a dash camera?
20· · · · · ·A.· ·No.
21· · · · · ·Q.· ·Is there a camera fixed on the cage
22· ·inside the vehicle?
23· · · · · ·A.· ·No.
24· · · · · ·Q.· ·At that time, there were no cameras in
25· ·the vehicle?

·1· · · · · ·Q.· ·Do officers carry body cameras on their
·2· ·person?
·3· · · · · ·A.· ·Nowadays, like today?
·4· · · · · ·Q.· ·Uh-huh.
·5· · · · · ·A.· ·Today, mostly, yeah.
·6· · · · · ·Q.· ·Do you know when they started
·7· ·implementing body cameras, approximately?
·8· · · · · ·A.· ·Probably about -- for us, I think it was
·9· ·about a year and a half ago, but I'm not 100 percent
10· ·sure with that.
11· · · · · ·Q.· ·And I'm curious, how do you preserve --
12· ·do you have to plug in your body camera at the end of
13· ·your patrol, or how do you -- do you download that
14· ·data?· How do you preserve that information?
15· · · · · ·A.· ·So we would -- at the end of my shift,
16· ·typically there is, like, a bank of cameras and, like,
17· ·your batteries, and you just plug them into, like,
18· ·your bank.· And my understanding is it downloads
19· ·somewhere.
20· · · · · ·Q.· ·Uh-huh.
21· · · · · ·A.· ·The cloud or something.
22· · · · · ·Q.· ·Thanks.· We'll go back to the transport.
23· ·Returning to your report, paragraph 2, taking a look
24· ·at that, it states that you transported Anderson to
25· ·the police department for processing; is that correct?

·1· · · · · ·A.· ·Yes.
·2· · · · · ·Q.· ·How long did that transport take,
·3· ·approximately?
·4· · · · · ·A.· ·I mean, I'm not 100 percent sure, but I
·5· ·would say maybe 10 to 15 minutes.
·6· · · · · ·Q.· ·Continuing on in that statement, is it
·7· ·correct that it reads "Anderson complained about
·8· ·having wrist pain and saying that he had severe nerve
·9· ·damage"; is that correct?
10· · · · · ·A.· ·Yes.
11· · · · · ·Q.· ·Do you recall what he said in the back of
12· ·the car about his wrists?
13· · · · · ·A.· ·I don't know if -- I mean, word for word,
14· ·I don't want to quote him, but I just remember it was,
15· ·like, a general discomfort.· I remember it wasn't -- I
16· ·mean, he wasn't, like, screaming out in pain or
17· ·anything like that.
18· · · · · · · · It was more, just kind of, like, a
19· ·general statement, saying that his wrists hurt sort of
20· ·thing, but . . .
21· · · · · ·Q.· ·Is it common to have folks complain about
22· ·wrist pain when you're thrown in the back seat of a
23· ·transport car?
24· · · · · ·A.· ·Yes.
25· · · · · · · · MR. RATNER:· Object to form and
