Political Illusions of the Cajun Mafia

Christian D. Chesson eventually was
non-suited and all claims made by the Texas

WatchGuard Video cameras were shown on KPLC news April 19, 2016 while promoting Local
Senator Ronnie Johns proposed Bill 398 that would restrict police video from being public records.
DeRosier is supporting and promoting the “Anti-Public Records” Bill 398. WatchGuard Video
(Enforcement Video, LLC). Records show Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton helped form the company
and loaned it money. Paxton is currently under Federal Indictment for multiple fraud and securities
criminal matters. The Texas Constitution bars legislators from benefitting “directly or indirectly” from
contracts authorized by the Legislature. As of his latest available personal financial disclosure form in
2014, he continues to own an interest.
Paxton’s company won a contract worth at least $10 million to supply the DPS. Paxton (during
term as Senator) voted in favor of the spending bill that authorized the DPS contract, even though he had
an ownership stake in the company. The company has also received $1 Million in Federal economic
stimulus money. Some have complained that the bid was written in a way to assure that WatchGuard
would get the contract. WatchGuard identified
over $1.8 Billion in grant money available for
their products. According to Veteran officers and
user of the camera, the problem with the cameras
is that they didn’t match up to the competition.
WatchGuard failed frequently and featured much
weaker safeguards against unauthorized editing of
footage.
