Arizona Cop's Own Bodycam Might Put Her In Prison!

Police officers who abuse their authority by assaulting restrained detainees, particularly vulnerable individuals like pregnant women, face criminal charges for felony aggravated assault under Arizona law, which specifically criminalizes assault on victims who are bound or physically restrained and unable to defend themselves. The case of Officer Carri Carrico demonstrates that departments have a duty to investigate known misconduct and that failure to do so can result in further liability, as the department promoted her to train other officers after the first incident.
