Chief
I am checking to see when you expect we will start getting the booking form you created in place? I figured over the holidays
was not a good time to start something new but now things are settled maybe we can get it going.

Greetings Law Enforcement Partners,

Attached please find a document to replace all current documents required to book an individual into the Williamson County Jail. This document is in a digital
format that should be able to be loaded on the computer for the officer's convenience. This document can also be printed and filled out by hand. The goal of this
form is for the officer to be able to fill this document out and send it to the printer in booking. To start this process, you may have your IT pro's contact the
county lT pro's and work things out.
The document is usable for all charges and will be the only intake booking document the jail will be using in our intake process. The current 3x5 card used for the
arrestee information will be discontinued and replaced by this form. We are aware that there was some confusion leading up to this form being issued and we
apologize for the confusion. Thank you for being patient in this change. Our goal is to make all changes, like this, to be seamless and smooth.
Please take note that this form is NOT p ublic information and is restricted so it will not be released to unauthorized individuals
As always if you have any questions please call or email me at rdover@wilco.org the booking staff is also very ready to help any officer that may have questions

On behalf of Sheriff Robert Chody

Sincerely,

( itxrd alicrnoon Chicl'ltyle

Thc subject asset forfeiture case has been set for trial on March27,20l9. The vehicle (owned by mother) was seized when the daughter was arrested
on a money laundering charge. We already obtained a judgment against the daughter and the funds were distributed to WCSO.

Ana Gomez the owner of thc vehicle filcd the attached answer with the court requesting return of thc vehiclc. At the timc the answer was filed.
Detective Hufand I discusscd whether or not to proceed with the case. See below correspondence.

At this time we must notify Ms. Gomez ol'the trial setting and get ready for trial. Before we invest the time and effort in preparing fbr trial I want to
contlrm that WCSO does desire forf'eiture of this vehicle. Otherwise we will dismiss the case and retum the vehicle to Ms. Gomez.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

The Sheriffs Office has recently discovered the Arbitrator systems are not consistently recording or storing video from the vehicles. We have also discovered an
issue with some body cams not recording audio. Obviously this is a critical issue. lT has been trying to resolve the problem for a couple of weeks now has no
solution and you can see from the attached document out of the metro-plex it appears to be a wide spread problem with no permanent fix. We will be notifying

Bridget,

Ireview the WCSO file of Diana Hernandez today at the WCSO and found that allegation number ll against her was sustained. lt appears the only disciplinary
consequence of this was "oral counseling". There was a final document with stated the Results of the lnvestigation (ROl). That final document, which I believe
was created by David Lawthorp laid out each allegation, and why they were sustained or not sustained.

I believethat having that document provided to our office would be necessary to provide adequate notice to the defense and ensure that there is never a Brady
or 39.14 claim mad€ about a failure to disclose relevant personal information about a state's witness.

Sin cerely,

The subject asset forfeiture case includes the following seized assets: 5150,030 U.S. Currency and 2010 Dodge
Tru ck.
The Defendant has plead guilty to money laundering and will be sentenced on April 29, 2019
The Defendant is willing to agree to a judgment for forfeiture of the 5150,030 U.S. Currency - but not the
t ruck.
I believe, under the facts and circumstances of the case, we will recover judgment for forfeiture ofthe truck
and the currency at trial.
Please advise if th e SO desires forfeitu re of the veh icle. lf so, we will set the case for trial. lf not,wewill let
the vehicle go back to the defendant and obtain an agreed iudgment for the currency.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Video footage from Live pD in Williamson County

Dear Mr. Dick:

I am writing to you in my capacity as the president of the wi iamson county


criminal Det'ense Lawyer's Association (wcGDLA). our organization is comprised
of
lawyers who defend people in the courts of wilriamson county, who have
been charged
with criminal acts.

The williamson county sheriff's office has entered into an agreement with
the
producers of the TV show, Live pD, that grants the producers access
to the WCSO
facilities as well as the specific permission to accompany wcso officers and other
personnel during the course of their duties. The express purpose of this
agreement is for
the video recording and photographing during situations they encounter and during
the
execution of their duties for the WCSO.

The agreement also orders the Producers to destroy all raw (unaired) footage recorded,
no
later than 30 days after the raw footage is recorded.

The williamson county Sheriff's office has granted the producers special access
to
record the wCSo personnel executing their duties. This agreement does not recognize
that the special access granted the Producers results in the creation ofevidence in a
criminal investigation when an arrest takes place or may take place in the future. These
recordings are evidence and that essential lact can not be altered by contract.

Furthermore, there is a criminal statute in Texas that prohibits the destruction of


evidence:
Texas Penal Code 37.09

(a) A person commits an offense if, knowing that an investigation or official proceeding
is pcnding or in progress, he:
(I )alters, destroys, or conceals any record. document. or thing with intent to
impair
its verity. legibility. or availabiliry as evidence in the investigation
or offrcial proceeding.

Sheriff,

Mr. Nassour is entitled to his opinion. I never purported to speak for the County Attorney's Office. l, however, am unwilling to risk the law licenses of my
attorneys; nor will ljeopardize the integrity of my office. I have sent you a memo clearly stating the policy of the District Attorney regarding cases filed with our
office. My position remains unchanged.

Subject: Fwd: Live PD Agreement

EXTERNAL email: Exercise cautlon when o ening,

Sheriff,

I have tried to reach Shawn but was unsuccessful. I have included him and Hal Hawes to this email

Please note the office of the County Attorney disagrees with the position taken by Shawn. Live PD is not an agent or employee of the state. The office of the
Sheriff is not in the possession or control of the data taken by Live PD.

ln addition, 39.14(a) referenced by Shawn as it relates to contractual obligations is misapplied in his memo. Live PD does not operate under a contract with
WCSO. WCSO does not receive any numeration in exchange for allowing Live PD to ride along with the department.

ln fact, the agreement with Llve PD is not technically a contract at all. Rather, it is a detailed access agreement and quite frankly no different than allowing a
private citizen to ride along.

To be a contract, there has to be consideration. The WCSO again, does not receive consideration from the Live PD

1
Shawn has attempted to and incorrectly placed a responsibility on the WCSO and more importantly has incorrectly alluded to the supposition that live PD is a
state actor by contract.

The agreement with Live PD provides that all State and Federal laws will be complied with and further, any order of the Court.

you have instructed your troops to reflect in their report if Live PD is on scene. The County Attorney's office, the District Attorney's office and the defense bar
can review the report and see that Live PD was on scene.

You have also provided a contact number and person at Live PD for either office to contact.

Shawn's memo has previously been reviewed under letter head from the president of the criminal defense bar - Steven Hessey

I do not believe the WCSO is violating any laws.

Cordially,

Jason Nassour

From this point on when you are involved in any incident with LIVE PD that involves writing a supplement, you guys need to name the crew that filmed the

Hey Bridget, this was a criminal investigation conducted by Leander. We are checking to see if we have anythinB at all in lA from anY of the involved. I am

Shawn,

Thank you for such a quick response. Seems the issue is procuring the film from livepd. lf you advise on how you want that done, l'm sure we can come up with a

solution. Do you want us to hold the video or send to you.

Can we meet Monday sometime to discuss further? Thanks in advance.

Sheriff.

She riff,

Iappreciate your concerns. Let me be clear. I have never believed it is my role to advocate for or against Live PD. I do not believe Lindsey has stated anything to
the media. I have been the one to make the statements from our office. I have only asked from the very beginning:

1. To identify the cases on Live PD to our office


2. To list the witnesses and their contact information from Big Fish Entertainment in the offense report
3. To assist in procuring the raw footage of the felony arrests

My office was never part of the contract negotiations, nor was I ever even shown the contract until June of this year when it was brought to my attention by
Jennifer Earls. Ms. Earls was president of the localCriminal Defense Bar at that time, and she was trying to head off a formal complaint by her membership. lt
was at that time that I learned the contract ordered raw footage to be destroyed within 30 days of airing. As soon as I became aware of this, you and I had a
personal and productive conversation in which we agreed to resolve my concerns. You asked me to send my requests to you in writing. I prepared those
requests and sent them by email. Later that night, Mr. Nassour, who was never a part of our conversation, responded for the County Attorney in an email,
claiming that I was wrong and none of this information was necessary.

Beginning in Live PD's Season 1., I have personally requested, on severaloccasions, the witness names from you and Chief Ryle. To date, our office has never
been given the name of any Big Fish Enterta inment witness. To date, we have never received Live PD raw footage. Thismakes prosecution ofthese felonies
immensely more difficult. I was hopeful after our cordial conversation that everything would be resolved. Unfortunately, Mr. Nassour's response made it clear
that my requests were not going to be complied with.

I hope you understand, I am not the reason the Live PD contract is up for consideration on Tuesday. I have no position on whether or not Llve PD continues in
Williamson County. However, if Live PD does continue, my above requests must be complied with in order to file felony cases with my office. I believe my
requests are clear, reasonabte, and have consistently been presented to you and your department over the course of Live PD. I am glad to have lunch or coffee
with you anytime as we have always had a great relationship and can talk frankly with each other.

Subject: Livepd contract

Shawn,

Lindsey gave a statement to the media saying the problem the DA's office has with Live PD circles around the provision that requires them to
destroy unused footage after 30 days.

3
That provision was negotiated to make sure raw footage did not linger around wrth our deputies and our county crest that could be sold later for a
negative purpose.

I can appreciate your offices obligations surrounding evidence. I have absolutely no problem, as I have suggested before, to have the company
provide a complete download of all raw footage to the DA and or County Attorneys.

You just simply need to let us know how you want that information provided to you and frequency. Live PD, nor The Sheriffs office have any use for
the raw footage after 30 days.

I don't want to see something that is so wonderful for our county go away over something you and I could have easily addressed over a cup of

coffee and a simple conversation.

Sheriff
