So a quick update regarding the "story" I posted a couple days ago. I received a letter from the Beaumont Legal Department informing me that they cannot be held legally liable for the damages to my camera. This is in contradiction to the officer who admitted to damaging the camera on voicemail.
Needless to say, I will be sending a reply back to Mr. Martin as I'm not sure what constitutes liability now adays but an officer dropping an $850 camera during a traffic stop and an admittance to dropping the camera on voicemail seems to me like it would make Beaumont liable in this case. We'll see how things turn out, I suppose.
Note: I really appreciate that the letter came from the directory G:\RMW\DENIAL\. Just makes it that much better.
