Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: A man is suing the city of Tallahassee claiming he was falsely arrested and his dog was tased in June of 2014. We now have dash cam footage from back in 2014 when the arrest took place. What starts out as a police confrontation turns physical when two officers try to take the man into custody. And in the process, one of the officers is clearly seen firing his taser gun at the dog and then helping the other officer subdue the man on the ground. You can see Don Arellano on the phone and holding his dog by the leash, with two officers nearby.
One of the officers confronts Arellano, but the video doesn't include sound of that conversation. At some point, both officers work to detain him, prompting the dog to try to reach his owner. An officer pulls out his stun gun, shooting the dog. Then, the two officers forcefully bring Arellano to the ground. In the video, you can hear him yelling for the dog while police ask him to stop resisting and to cooperate. Arellano is suing the city and both officers for damages of up to $15,000. Tallahassee Police Department says it will not comment on pending litigation. |

Licensing
[edit] |
This work was created by a government unit (including state, county, and municipal government agencies) of the U.S. state of Florida. It is a public record that was not created by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright and is therefore in the public domain in the United States.
Definition of "public record"
Public records are works "made or received in connection with the official business of any public body, officer, or employee of the state, or persons acting on their behalf, [which includes the work of] the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and each agency or department created thereunder; counties, municipalities, and districts; and each constitutional officer, board, and commission, or entity created pursuant to [Florida] law or [its] Constitution" (Florida Constitution, §24) such as a work made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any state, county, district, or other unit of government created or established by law of the State of Florida (definition of public work found in Chapter 119.011(12), Florida Statutes). Agencies permitted to claim copyright
Florida's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright (as well as trademarks) and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted without clear evidence to the contrary:
Works by defunct state agencies may be copyrighted if these rights were transferred to a new or different agency (note that legislation transferring such right may not have been codified into Florida Statutes). For example, copyright in works by the Florida Space Authority may have been transferred to Space Florida. State and municipal government agencies may claim copyright for software created by the agency (§ 119.084, F.S. 2018). In case law, Microdecisions, Inc. v. Skinner—889 So. 2d 871 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (Findlaw)—held that the Collier County Property Appraiser could not require commercial users to enter into a licensing agreement, holding that "[the agency] has no authority to assert copyright protection in the GIS maps, which are public records." Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may be "public records", their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise.
