Ted Mink is, by law, responsible for all all deputy behavior. The stunning pattern over eight years strongly indicates a department-wide directive, policy, or way of operating. All of these incidents are separate and unique (i.e., they do not relate to the same crime report or reason for police involvement).
Overall they show 1) an ignorance or “coloring” of the law and 2) a willingness to threaten, harass, and disturb citizens for acting legally and/or performing their legal duty.
