This past Friday a Paulding GA Sheriff's Office dash camera video was released of the March 4, 2022 arrest of burglary suspect Tyler Canaris. Deupties were responding to calls that a person matching the description of Canaris was attempting to break into neighborhood cars during the dark hours of that early morning.
When Canaris was repeatedly non-compliant with a Deputy's attempt to secure his investigatory detention, the Deputy bear-hugged Canaris and took him to the ground, followed by securing him in handcuffs with the assistance of a second Deputy who then appears on scene. Canaris would suffer a broken collar bone and concussion as a result of his impact with the street.
It would later appear that Canaris was not, in fact, the suspect burglarizing neighborhood crimes, and he was never charged with burglary. He was, however, charged with obstruction of justice after he filed a civil suit against the Paulding GA Sheriff's Office.
In today's show we take a look at that dash camera video, and consider the various legal issues involved.
Join us LIVE at 2PM ET today, Monday, February 20, 2023!

Three men got involved in a low-level confrontation outside an Illinois pizza place last Friday--and things escalated quickly, as captured on video.
Ultimately, Michael Freund, who was watching the other two men wrestle each other on a porch. One of those two men was purportedly a friend of Freund's, and the other was Dexter Perkins. Freund would ultimately pull out a pistol fired two warning shots, and then fired another 9 bullets into Perkins, killing him.
Freund has since been arraigned on a charge of first-degree murder and denied pre-trial release.
Could this be a lawful use of force in defense of others, with Freund intervening in lawful defense of his friend? Or was this just a senseless murder, as so many are?

A family spending July 4th on their porch is suddenly subject to a fireworks attack from a passing pickup truck.
In response, they fire shots at the truck as it flees the scene.
Are the shots lawful self-defense? Felony reckless endangerment? Something else?
