DPS tries to ease concerns over dashcam video in Sandra Bland stop

The Texas Department of Public Safety has been working Wednesday to ease concerns about the authenticity of the dashboard camera footage showing the arrest of Sandra Bland, who died in custody last week in a Waller County jail cell.

The department issued a statement that bluntly said: “The video has not been edited.”

The originally released dashcam video from the cruiser of Trooper Brian Encinia appears to skip around in a few places, leaving moments out of the recording, though not during the stop and arrest of Bland. The audio did not appear to be affected. The department said portions of the video were affected when it was uploaded.

DPS re-released another version on Wednesday afternoon.
