The Texas Legislature could vote on a bill this year that would stifle relationships between law enforcement and reality television shows. The measure House Bill 54 was filed by state Rep. James Talarico, D-Round Rock, who calls it “Javier Ambler’s Law.”
Javier Ambler, a 40-year-old Black man, died in March 2019, after Williamson County deputies chased him for 22 minutes for failing to dim his headlights to oncoming traffic. When they caught him, they tasered him, though he said he had a heart condition and couldn t breathe. Ambler died shortly after. The incident was captured on film for the reality television show “Live PD,” which had a contract with the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office.
