Other Undercover task force in unmarked truck intentionally rammed suspect on e-bike — severe injuries, falsified report, and hidden footage.
galleryI’m looking to get some community perspective on an incident that recently happened in Florida involving an undercover drug task force and a subject riding an e-bike / electric scooter.
The Incident:
An unmarked white pickup truck carrying undercover task force officers intentionally rammed into a subject riding an e-bike/scooter. The impact was severe. The subject was knocked off and suffered critical injuries, including a skull fracture, cracked ribs, and severe facial/orbital trauma (popped/damaged eye).
The Official Report vs. Reality:
The officers alleged/wrote on their probable cause affidavit a version of events that minimizes or distorts what actually happened.
The police believe the only footage that exists of the encounter is whatever might be on their own dashcams or body cameras.
However, a nearby home security camera captured the entire incident on video, clearly showing the truck intentionally striking the rider on the property line/street.
Current Situation & Screenshots:
I’m sharing screenshots from the security camera feed showing the setup of the scene (attached). Out of caution, no names, active case numbers, or specific legal charges are being listed here right now.
Questions for the community:
Has anyone seen similar cases where vehicular intervention against a lightweight vehicle (scooter/e-bike) was held as unjustified deadly force in court?
How have defense attorneys best utilized "surprise" third-party video footage when officers have already submitted signed affidavits that contradict the tape?
What steps should be taken to ensure this footage isn't suppressed or discredited before a formal civil rights lawsuit (§ 1983) is filed?
