Your post was bad enough the first time around - did you have to submit it twice...
Yes,,
Not liking what I am saying or the way I said it is just not the same as refuting it.
Show me in the Law where it says an officer cannot use subtrifuge and deception to gain information..
You cannot...
The Officer did not actually bring false charges against the kid..
Get a clue... What he did was wrong by my values and yours..
At the same time there is a need to gather intelligence when acting as a LEO to try to ferret out what is going on.
Further there is no law prohibiting it... If there was he would have been charged with a crime by now..
Firing the Officer is just a CYA exercise by the Department Heads not addressing what is a systemic problem..
I think pretty much everyone knows this sort of thing goes on all the time..
Now either it is wrong and should be made illegal.. Or it is OK and this Officer should be reinstated.
A while back Plain Clothes Officers followed someone from a Bar and that person ultimately wound up being shot to death.
The Argument was he did not know they were LEO’s
The problem could be solved with a policy change allowing Plain Clothed Officers to arrest only in extraordinary circumstances especially at night..
That has not happened
The problem here will also be glossed over unless we change the law to change the behavior..
Under the current law he did nothing to justify being fired.
I am not saying the Officer is right.. But he committed no crime and did nothing that does not happen every day..
You know that I suspect.
But instead of changing the law you go after some Officer doing on the street what is not all that uncommon..
Therefore the message is “Its ok to do this just don’t get caught”
What kind of message does that send to LEOs?
Address my points not my grammar please.
