I think your last part was the actual reason, just object over everything and hope something sticks in the courtroom.

The TPC 38.02 questions were extremely basic.

It's extremely sad seeing a now retired police academy trainer not knowing the law, that has been in place for nearly 51 years (51 years on the first business day of 2024) .

Why does every deposition video have;
"Objection to form" after every question except the most basic ones like: name.

Two major reasons:

1. Because deposition questions are supposed to be basic. If the question is, at all, vague, confusing, or unclear, then you should object to form.

Also, you shouldn't allow your client to answer compound questions, i.e., 2 or more questions jammed together. It can be confusing which question the answer is answering.

Bad questions happen frequently because lots of attorneys are bad writers and bad at forming questions. Other times, the opposing attorney is intentionally asking a poorly formed question because he's trying to slip it by and get the answer he wants.

2. You have to object to the form of the question at the time it's asked in order to preserve your client's right to challenge the question when the deposition is used later in the trial. So, as a defense attorney, you want to over-object to protect rights as opposed to under-object and potentially malpractice.
