Undercover Cop Dressed In All Black Shot While Placing GPS Tracker On Car

[SecularMotion]

An undercover police officer in Arlington, Texas was shot while attempting to place a GPS tracker on a person's vehicle, and the man who shot him may not even be charged.

Preliminary reports suggest the undercover officer, who was dressed in all black at the time, may have been mistaken for a car burglar.

The incident occurred yesterday morning around 6 a.m. outside a home on Wilber Street in Southwest Dallas, after the officer went to place a GPS tracker on a suspect's vehicle, a neighbor reportedly confronted him to ask what he was doing.

When the cop responded that he "had dropped something" the neighbor opened fire on him with an assault rifle, hitting him in his arm, leg and hand.

3. So if I drop my keys or a quarter

and it rolls under someone's car and I try to recover it, I can be shot in Texas?

This is truly insane.

5. So, did the cop have a frickin' WARRANT to put the tracker on the guy's car?

I'm an old geezer who still believes in the 4th Amendment, quaint as it may be.

6. sounds like a counter assault rifle, considering he was defend property

from what he thought was a thief.

7. I highly doubt it was an assault rifle that was usd to shoot the officer.

8. LOL... Thats one way of keeping things on the "up and up"..

Dress in all black, sneak around the neighborhood at night, lurk near around a car..... Yea, that won't raise eyebrows, that's not shady at all...

He is lucky the neighbor was a poor shot.
