"Several times during his 16-year LAPD career, suspects have accused Zamora of planting evidence, authorities said. The city has paid $520,000 to settle two lawsuits filed against him."
Note the policeman's name..... The corruption of Mexico seeps further into Los Angeles
Well, I have a feeling that a lot of guilty drug dealers are going to be soon let out of prison.
I don't see anything unusual here.
Disgusting.
I feel sorry for all the other wonderful officers a man like this paints with one stroke when he does this cr@p.
A corrupt LAPD officer? Say it isn't so!
The Los Angeles Police Department is under court order to increase "diversity". As a consequence, applicants who are declined employment by the department's hiring process are hired anyway by the city's personnel department. A majority of officers involved in the so-called Rampart Scandals were officers the department had declined to hire.
It'd be interesting to know whether that also applies to this guy.
"In 2003, Zamora was accused in an internal LAPD report of dishonesty, making false statements and falsifying his daily activity field report. Few details of the accusations are available, but according to court documents a police panel concluded he had a report log that did not match information found on radio frequencies and in computer files"
This one paragraph will cost the city of los angeles 8 figures.
Another triumph for affirmative action.
This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as cops framing innocents with planted drugs. Forfeiture law heavily encourages such behavior.
