The trooper activated her emergency lights and attempted to pull over the car, but the report claims the car sped ahead weaving in and out of traffic. The trooper noted that at time, the car reached speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour.

When the trooper was finally able to pull the car over at mile marker 50.5. She approached the car with her gun drawn and noticed that the driver was a City of Miami police officer in full uniform. The officer, identified as Fausto Lopez, 35, told the trooper that en route to an off-duty detail and he had to be there by 7:00 a.m.

Considering the officer was cited for reckless driving it’s hard for me to include it in the count. That’s exactly what it was. That said one should be leading by example, and how often have we been pulled over for speeding and heard the officer ask where we were headed in such a hurry.

Given my incident which was a poor judgement call in inclement weather and the fact they initially stuck me with two felonies it’s easy to say he’s getting off light.  The FHP officer didn’t care that he was a police officer which I must say I am quite happy about.  Currently the officer is also under review by his department for the action.

I’m counting it for the fact that he didn’t end up in jail and have to wait to see a judge.  If that had been any standard citizen they would have been sleeping in the pokey awaiting the judge.  For that reason I’m willing to include it in the count.

Update: As pointed out by Jake below, there is a long list of charges this
incidence also qualifies for that were ignored and skipped.  Two he
easily qualified for is attempting to allude and failure to yield.  The
reckless charge is probably the weakest of the bunch.  It’s a solid count no matter how you slice it.

Because obviously this guy was a dumb ass, I mean at least flip your lights on and make it appear that you’re on your way to a call!

Carpenter searched Jett’s car without a warrant or her consent, the lawsuit states. During the search, he allegedly ordered Jett to pull out her bra and shake out her breasts. He did not seek assistance from a female officer.

The officer has been fired from the department due to an “unrelated” incident of filling his private vehicle using the department credit card.  Because someone corrupt like that could never do the following after the complaint above.

In the search warrant affidavit, Carpenter falsely alleged that he had searched the car and found marijuana on Jett’s passenger, the lawsuit states. Based on the reportedly false find, Higgins granted the search warrant on Pancake’s home without the legal authority to do so, the lawsuit states.

Evidently he wanted to take some of her undergarments from home as well.  For those who might take the complaints as being he said she said, history is on the side of the person filing the complaint.

Carpenter has worked for at least two police departments in the past two years, having been fired from the Charleston Police Department in 2008.

Not to mention the hunting violations that the article goes on to detail that were committed by the officer.  Such a wonderful set of morals and hiring requirements that department has.

Because when you see someone you like, violate her forth amendment and then frame her for drug possession.  If she acts like she hates you, she’s just putting on a show.

Troopers responded to a home April 6 at the request of developmental services and mental health professionals. The man with disabilities including Down syndrome, was told by care providers that he needed to be taken to a new placement. He refused to get dressed and accompany the caregivers. When troopers arrived, they attempted to escort the man from the home, but he pulled away. Trooper Paul Mosher, who is assigned to the Derby barracks, deployed his Taser.

Because someone who isn’t really aware of whats going on but just knows that the world he knows is being upended is totally in need of a shot with a Taser.  The only outcome of this was that Vermont has altered it’s policy on the use of force with a taser.  The officer involved however has not been disciplined or removed from duty.

As The Minutewoman is currently working with people such as the victim and I have spent a lot of time around them it bugs the living hell out of me when I see crap like this.  Seriously I wouldn’t mind seeing that damn taser disappear due to the attitude cops place towards it.

Because when someone sees his world crashing around them, the proper response is to tase them into accepting it.

The unsealed indictments contained more than 1,600 criminal counts, the bulk of them misdemeanors having to do with making tickets disappear as favors for friends, relatives and others with clout. But they also outlined more serious crimes, related both to ticket-fixing and drugs, grand larceny and unrelated corruption. Four of the officers were charged with helping a man get away with assault.

How messed up is that.  Remember we’re all equal under the law unless you know some body.  They’re caught though, how is this really a fully sponsored criminal I hear you ask.  Well for starters they haven’t all been fired yet.  Second:

A three-year investigation into the police’s habit of fixing traffic and parking tickets in the Bronx ended in the unsealing of indictments on Friday and a stunning display of vitriol by hundreds of off-duty officers, who converged on the courthouse to applaud their accused colleagues and denounce their prosecution.

All I can say is fire them.  Fire every last stinking one of them.  Unequal application of the law is the first sign of tyrrany.  They felt that the law didn’t apply to their family or friends as it does apply to the rest of the public.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 157: NYPD – This is a blanket because they feel it’s their right to do this.  There’s too damn many to count.

Because being a police officer means not only do you enforce the law, but you decide who the law applies to.

A stray-bullet victim says she was held prisoner for five days at a Brooklyn police station because detectives didn’t believe her story about the shooting, the Daily News has learned.

The victim was denied an appearance before a judge. Was denied access to the facilities. As this was all going on she was berated as if she was lying about the incident with no evidence to the contrary.

She said detectives insisted she had been shot during a lovers’ quarrel.

“They were trying to get me to say it was my friend who shot me,” recalled Griffin, who is seeking $5 million from the city.

“He never had a gun,” she said. “I told them he was gay; we had gone to a gay club the night before.”

The friend offered to take a lie detector test and submit to a gunshot residue test on his hands, she said. He was released that morning; she was held.

To add further insult to injury there was an outstanding warrant for her arrest that was a clerical error. This was corrected, but not until she was finally able to see a judge.

The only problem I have with the monetary settlements like this is it’s paid by the police departments insurance company. It should be taken out of the pockets of the officers involved as well as their superiors. This includes going all the way up the path to the chief.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 156: John Doe

Because despite a lack of evidence if you think someone’s guilty lock them up without legal representation.  It’s not as if you’re going to have to pay for the deprivation of rights under color of law.

Guess this guy and Officer Roid Rage share a few chromosomes.  

In the video, Flint Farmer was lying on the grass between the curb and the sidewalk. It was shortly before 2 a.m. on a June morning in the West Englewood neighborhood, and Farmer had been shot by a Chicago police officer. Then, according to the video, the veteran officer, Gildardo Sierra, stepped onto the parkway and walked a semicircle about the prone Farmer as three bright flashes went off.

…

The flashes, captured by a police car video camera, were fatal shots fired into Farmer’s back, officials say.

Don’t worry though folks because he can sleep like a baby.  You know why?

Sierra told investigators he feared for his life because he believed Farmer had a gun.

In fact, Farmer was only holding a cellphone.

Ends up the victim only had a cellphone, but no worries for the officer because the department still ruled the use as justified. Never mind the fact that this is the third shooting this officer was involved in within a year. The second which resulted in a fatality.

If a man prone on the ground with a cellphone makes you in fear for your life, you’re in the wrong job field moron. Even if he had a gun on his person that doesn’t make that a justified shoot. There was nothing about the victim that stated he was a threat to the officer, doubly so considering he was shot in the back. The feds are investigating this now as the officer has been involved in multiple shootings over a short period of time.

Sierra claims the video only shows part of the incident, frankly I don’t give a shit. You’re career as an officer should be over. You shot an unarmed man who was prone on the ground in the back.

State Sponsored Criminal Count 155: Gildardo Sierra

Because being on the Chicago PD means you can kill someone prone on the ground that is unarmed and the department will justify it. Chicago PD is it’s own execution squad.
