NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
September 9, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-0756
On September 6, 2022, the OPO received an online complaint.
The complainant alleges: I was threatened of unlawful arrest by police because I was a
black woman. I came to Austin to celebrate a sorority sister's birthday and went to
.
I was allowed to cut the line by a patron at the
but the security refused
to allow my entrance. The security called the police when I refused to exit the line. The
police threatened to arrest me when I asked for their probable cause. Officer
working
claimed the bar had a right to deny entrance for any reason.
As an attorney, I knew that was false and not lawful. i explained that if the publicly licensed
establishment allowed public entrance and If I met those entrance requirements, the
establishment could not bar my admission. Officer
stated that I could be prevented
entrance based on their arbitrary standards. I asked for the manager- who apologized and
admitted me- even after Officer
threatened me with arrest. His reasoning was my
commission of blocking a public line. There was no line, I was standing on public property
and stated these facts when challenging his threat to arrest. I believe Officer
was
unfamiliar with my constitutional rights, threatened me with an unlawful arrest, and
behaved aggressively because I was a black woman. I am a licensed attorney and knew my
constitutional rights to entrance of a licensed liquor establishment which, I believe, my
expressed knowledge enraged the white officer. Officer
behavior was not neutral
and clearly, erroneously on behalf of the
.
I am offended and experienced trauma
to the threat of an erroneous arrest. I request an apology and commitment to teaching police
officers the constitutional rights of bar patrons.
This notice of complaint is a request for Internal Affairs to initiate an investigation to
determine if the employee conduct is within compliance of APD policy, Civil Service
Rules, and Municipal Civil Service Rules.
