🚨#BREAKING: A father in Amarillo, Texas says he had to MOVE WHERE HIS KIDS SLEEP because a police officer used the city's Flock cameras to STALK him 76 TIMES over a woman the officer wanted for himself... ...prosecutors only gave the cop a MISDEMEANOR and a $4,500 bond. This is Amarillo, Texas, the officer's name is Christian Eder. Eder had a thing for a female officer. That officer had once dated a local dad. So Eder went hunting. From February to June, he ran that father's license plate through the city's FLOCK cameras 76 times. Every gas station. Every school pickup. Every daycare run. Police confirm there was NO case at all, no assignment. When the system asked him why, he typed "city planning." and dozens of times, just one word: "want." The victim's words: "I'm a creature of habit. I pick my kids up from the same school, the same daycare. It hit me: this guy knows exactly which way I go." The father said he knew something was wrong when he walked out to his car at 1 a.m. and saw a MARKED PATROL UNIT crawling through his parking lot behind him. He texted Eder and asked him to stop and here's the reply, word for word: "lol, tough guy. Whatever y'all got going on is between y'all. Keep it that way. Have fun, my dude." 😉 He says Eder used his department phone to pull up the female officer's LIVE body camera feed to track her and the county attorney told him the department said that wasn't unusual. So this man did everything right. He went to Internal Affairs. The department investigated and to their credit, they fired Eder. Then the system took over, and it protected the cop. Prosecutors REFUSED to file felony stalking charges. Instead: 78 counts of "tampering with a government record." A misdemeanor. One $4,500 bond for all of it. Think that's not enough? Here's the part that will make you sick. Under Texas law, the "victim" of that charge is... the City of Amarillo. Not the father. Not his kids. He was told he might not even qualify for victim services. "How, all of a sudden, am I not the victim?" He asked police for a description of Eder's personal vehicles so he could watch for him. They said no. The stalker has every piece of his information, but the dad... he isn't allowed to know what car to look for. "I've had to change where my kids sleep in my house. I've had to change everything." The chief admitted to City Council that officers could run these cameras off-duty on their WORK PHONES, with no alerts for high-volume searches, and the department's audit never flagged 76 hits on one plate. The only reason we know about this one is that the target found out. THIS IS PURE INSANITY!!!!!!!
