OK, OK, OK...I got this one...

AFSCME Local 7 Toledo Police Department a member of the media...

Hmmmmmmmmm. Does anyone smell the stench of the Toledo Blade, Award winning "investigative journalists" that smeared our Vets????

Any bets???

[Carling]

End result is that Joe the Plumber sealed Ohio for McCain. Average Americans won’t take this sort of smear on an average citizen playing ball with his son lightly.

[FlingWingFlyer]

...and is a member of AFSCME Local 7.

There's the problem right there. Union thugs.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hopefully, Joe the Plumber will become Joe the Plaintiff. He’s a fool if he don’t. I’d own the town.

[GLDNGUN]

Smearing him was bad enough. Illegally using law enforcement is much, much worse. I think in the back of people’s minds many are thinking...if this is what they are doing to a plumber who asks a question about a candidate...imagine what they will do to anyone who resists when they are in power!

[jakerobins]

I hope her toilet overflows sometime soon and has to call a Plumber. Sorry Ma’am all booked up...we can be there in February....

"Police Chief Mike Navarre said a member of the media, whom he would not name, asked McConnell to verify an address, and because the request was for a non-law enforcement matter, her searching computer records violated regulations.

Is she fired or fined? Or it it a worthless sanction?

[antiRepublicrat]

This stinks to high hell. Verify an address? There are dozens of legal ways any media outlet could have verified Joe’s address.

Union member of AFSCME, which is backing Obama. She tried to dig dirt to give to her party masters.

[Total Package]

Police Chief Mike Navarre is a tool of Carty Finkbeiner who is as bad or worse then that Douche bag Mayor in Detroit. This is a very corrupt Democrat union thug run city. With a unemployment rate of 9.9%.

We need to raise more taxes and fees./sarc

Justice for Joe bump

[Fred]

I hate to be so harsh but this woman should be fired.

[Peacekeeper357]

Well “Joe” has a list to sue Julie McConnell, Chief Nauarre, The City of Toledo and the Toledo P.D. just for starters. I hope he does. Any Lawyer will take this for 1/3.

[antiRepublicrat]

Does anyone smell the stench of the Toledo Blade

Now that I think about it, yes. They've been digging on Joe since this caught traction with the people, brought up the license, the lien, etc. I love rival newspapers, the Free Press will love to put the Blade's face in this.

Right, like all Julie McConnell did was "verify an address". I am not buying that.

If Joe the plumber gets Sydney the lawyer he should be able to get justice and a fair bit of cash.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Guess who AFSCME endorsed for president?

Violation of rights under color of law is a federal offense

[AnotherUnixGeek]

The record inquiry was made for a non-law enforcement purpose, which is a violation of both department policy and state policy governing the use of the Law Enforcement Automated Data System (LEADS) database, according to the news release.

So does Joe The Plumber have some sort of record to warrant inclusion in such a database, or is this database some sort of Big Brother-ish collection of information about ordinary, law-abiding citizens? And what are the odds that this is the first time an inquiry has been made for a non-law enforcement purpose?

As long as authorities are allowed to compile and store detailed information about ordinary law-abiding citizens, such abuses and violations of privacy are guaranteed.

[taxesareforever]

Would certainly like to know who the “member of the media” is that made the request.
