Police in Oregon Photoshopped Man's Mugshot so Witnesses Would Implicate Him in Robbery

OK. That is a criminal action. The penalty for it MUST be the same as an innocent man would have gotten. No exceptions. Being a cop makes it worse: sworn to protect and to serve.

[Mr. K]

I don’t care if this guy is a career criminal- He should sue their asses off for this (and win)

[House Atreides]

Legal experts were a bit taken aback that police would do something that seems only likely to increase the likelihood of a wrongful conviction.

[Mr. K]

Cops that do this should be jailed in general population with a special uniform that says “dirty cop”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Had he gotten the tattoos recently, or had they been there long before the robberies?

Relevant questions are rayciss, of course.

[ConservativeMind]

The police department there should be greatly punished and immediately let this man freely walk out that door with millions of dollars in his pockets.

[Michael.SF.]

Bet they would not extend that courtesy to this guy:

[Don Corleone]

Just what a Marxist/Socialist society promises.

[Jonty30]

To protect and serve is just a marketing slogan. They are only sworn to be bodymen for the state in enforcing laws and protecting crime scenes and garnering revenue of the state.

[forgotten man]

He probably said something good about Trump.

[Mr.Unique]

As long as the cops are really sure that the guy is guilty, I don’t see the problem.

Odd, but we are going to find that we are on the same side as the left on this one, I think, unless it comes out that this fellow voted for DJT and has a MAGA hat in his car..

[Cold Heart]

The article doesn’t mention that the perp had altered his face to hide the tattoos during the robbery. Forensics was trying to duplicate what the perp did.

[arthurus]

Not much chance he got all those tats at the same time or over a couple of days. He should have done what we all advise each other to do- shut up when arrested except for calmly asking for an attorney.

[Songcraft]

Nor to this guy...

The perp had altered his face to hide the tattoos during the robbery. Forensics wanted to duplicate what he had done.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like a reasonable thing to do, therefore it must be rayciss.
