SSCC #216 – Plainview Tx

A longtime officer with the Plainview Police Department was indicted by a Hale County grand jury on felony theft charges Tuesday.

Couple that with the following.


According to District Attorney Wally Hatch, Sanchez also was charged with two Class A misdemeanors, for forgery and official misconduct.

No one is stating what the officer has done and that concerns me.  It was obviously done while he was on duty, yet they won’t air their dirty laundry.  I wouldn’t doubt this is another example of a corrupt cop in the war on nouns.

Because when you’re a corrupt cop, your fellow LEOs will shield you from the damage of your corruption and hide it from the public.

SSCC #215 – Orange County FL

An Orange County Deputy was in jail Tuesday night after he was accused of molesting a disabled woman. The victim said she was scared for her life because Deputy William Martinez was in full uniform and armed with a gun at the time.

Another officer who not only found another victim while on the job, but used his position to intimidate the victim into compliance.  Given the fact that citizens have to just endure illegal searches and mistreatment by the police under protection of law it’s no wonder this type of behavior exists.

This man is a full count no matter his punishment short of death.  The department and the legal system acted to provide him the protections he needed to be invulnerable to his prey.  Are all cops like this?  No, but there are cops like this out there so why is the law protecting them while violating the citizenry.  While a cop has every right to go home at the end of his shift, the law abiding citizen has more of a right to remain unmolested and unventilated.

State Sponsored Criminal Count #215: William Martinez

Because the real reason for all those LEO protections is to make sure the criminals can hide in plain sight with impunity.

h/t Uncle on the reason article.

SSCC #214 – Covington LA

A Covington police officer, the subject of two police brutality investigations, resigned Tuesday, just after he appeared in a St. Tammany Parish courtroom and admitted choking a city resident during a traffic stop and leaving him handcuffed in the back of a patrol cruiser for “an inordinate amount of time.”

Well he was caught and brought before the bar so it’s an honorable mention then right. Wrong!

Driscoll was ordered to resign from the Covington Police Department and forbidden from holding a law enforcement position for the duration of his probation.

He was forced to resign, why would that be!? Oh that’s right, if he was fired it could affect his future prospects for a job in law enforcement.  Instead of doing what was best for the public and law abiding citizens he abuses they protect the out of control officer.  Dollars to doughnuts he goes and gets a job in Canton after this.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 214: Eric Driscoll

Because beating up civilians and throwing them in the back of a cruiser is only a problem if you get caught.  You’ll get a light slap on the wrist to make the public feel better.  Don’t worry you’ll be back to work in no time.

SSCC #213 – Beaumont, TX

A Beaumont police officer accused of leaking confidential information is retiring from the force.

Well maybe it wasn’t really that bad, they did suspend him with pay during the investigation.

Sources tell Fox 4 that Officer Eugene Wilson released information that compromised a federal drug case.

Well at least this leak didn’t result in anyone being killed or injured, but he’s retiring at the end of the month and no charges are being filed.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 213: John Doe

Because who cares if you destroy a case investigating something currently against the law.  The laws are just there to create an artificial market anyway.

SSCC #212 – Seabrook

A former Seabrook police sergeant was sentenced to 18 months’ probation yesterday after being found guilty by Newburyport District Court Judge Peter Doyle for drunken driving following a multi-car crash on North End Boulevard in Salisbury on July 31.

So a DUI and the cause of an accident.  I guess 18 months probation is reasonable right?

Mark F. Preston, 51, of 815 Lafayette Road, Seabrook, was also sentenced
to 18 months’ probation for leaving the scene of personal injury,
avoiding the potential of up to two years in jail. Those charged with
drunken driving for the first time are not often sent to jail.

Oh how nice, he fled the scene of the accident and then they added this final icing to the cake.

O’Connell said the leaving the scene of personal injury charge was
generally continued for 18 months, meaning that as long as he adheres to
the condition of his probation, the charge will be dismissed. A third
charge for marked lanes violation was dropped.

Oh how nice, as long as he obeys his probation the worst of the charges will be dismissed.  Oh wait, there’s more!

Days after his arrest, Preston resigned from the force, according to
Seabrook town officials. But Preston, through a union representative
from the New England Police Benevolent Society, disputed the town’s
claim that Preston resigned. Instead, Preston had informed the town he
was going to retire, thus protecting his pension fund and his
certification as a police officer, according to the union
representative.

I don’t know if he was successful in altering his resignation, but this whole incident stinks to high heaven with an innocent civilian caught in the middle.  Unsurprisingly he was a state rep for a while.

 Because when you’re a corrupt cop and a politician, a criminal record is a requirement.

SSCC Honorable Mention – Madison (12/17/2011)

A Madison police officer was sentenced to six years in state prison today for soliciting a nude photo from an investigator posing as a 13-year-old girl online, the state Attorney General’s Office said in a news release.

Ex cop and a child molester in prison, he’s going to have a rough ride but I was disappointed until I also saw this.

The 25-year veteran of the Madison police department forfeited his job and must register as a sex offender. He will also be barred from future public jobs.

So initially I was thinking Accountabilibuddable except it appears he can retain his public pension after he gets out of prison.  He needs to be squashed with such force that he looks like a bug on a windshield.  He’s being punished but not squashed so into the honorable mention it goes.

I’ve got nothing for this one.

SSCC #211 – Gulfport MI

A police department spokesman has confirmed a citizen complaint that an officer shot a pit bull, chained in its yard, while narcotics officers executed a search warrant on 20th Street Monday afternoon.

See, evidently this cop felt that confinement wasn’t enough for his personal safety.  As always they shot the dog, properly restrained or not.  Why is this a criminal count though?  Well had anyone else done this it would be classified as animal cruelty given the dog was restrained and as such no reasonable person would have a reason to fear for their life.  Not to mention this little fact.

Turner said she was visiting her mother’s home and she and her 3-year-old daughter were about three feet from the dog when an officer aimed his gun at the Spook, a 3-year-old dog the family has had since he was a puppy.

Sounds like the officer was bored and wanted to shock and awe.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 211:  John Doe

Because shooting dogs is what you do when you want to kill something and when it’s chained it’s like shooting fish in a barrel since no justification is required.

SSCC #210 – Caddo TX

The Caddo police chief turned himself in Tuesday on an embezzlement charge that was filed after authorities said he took a firearm from the department’s evidence room.

So what exactly did he do entirely?

An affidavit by OSBI Agent Donnie Long states Glover removed a Ruger .44 magnum from the evidence room and traded it to a man for a Taurus 9 mm pistol.

Best part is, the owner of the firearm in the evidence locker was entitled to it’s return. This was nothing more than theft of property, a firearm no less, by a state charged with protecting it while in his possession.

Remember, the anti-rights crowd consider these people “anointed” and would say this wouldn’t have been a problem if people couldn’t own firearms to begin with.  Never mind the fact that the chief himself committed the crime.

Because if you’re a cop looking for a new gun, just visit the evidence locker.
