    And the cop is going to get charged for lying, right?

      Constables are not cops, in general. IDK how exactly it works in Texas and it looks like it’s actually more similar than it usually is, but as a general rule in practice, constables are sort of the “civil matter” version of police (who are chiefly for criminal matters) – they serve evictions and summonses, child support warrants, traffic detail like in this case, that kind of thing.

      The Best I can do is charge the driver with a misdemeanor instead.

      Fuck cops and (most) DA’s while we’re at it.
