AUSTIN (KXAN) — Each week the in-depth reporting from the KXAN Investigates team will get a spotlight on KXAN Live.

Inside the Investigations: Use of Texas crosswalk law

The story they’re talking about this week is:

  • While public pressure mounts for more local law enforcement transparency and accountability, shootings involving federal law enforcement agencies, or local officers serving on federal task forces, do not always face the same public scrutiny. On top of that, local prosecutors who try to hold federal agents accountable in deadly shooting cases often face steep legal barriers created by immunity protections. In partnership with NBC News, KXAN investigators took a closer look at one of the rare cases pursued over the last three decades right here in Austin.
