State trooper under scrutiny didn’t reveal drug-dealing past, but left clue in hiring process
Boston Globe ^

Trooper Leigha Genduso admitted on her State Police application that she experimented with pot as a teenager, but never mentioned that she cut up bales of marijuana and sold it in 10-pound packages covered in gift-wrapping.

Still, a clue on Genduso’s 2012 application could have exposed her past and raises questions about how thoroughly she was vetted during the hiring process. A North Reading address that Genduso listed as her former residence was forfeited to the government in a federal drug case — a case in which Genduso took the witness stand in 2007 and recounted her role in a marijuana-trafficking operation. Genduso, who dated and lived with a top commander at the time she applied to be a trooper, is now at the center of an internal investigation into how she slipped through the hiring process.

In 2007, while testifying in federal court in Boston, Genduso revealed that she had helped Bucci break up bales of marijuana and launder money and that she delivered up to 10 pounds of marijuana at a time to her own customer. Her testimony helped send Bucci to prison for 10 years for marijuana trafficking.

And, after Bucci gets out in ten years, he can open up a legal dispensary, depending on which state he is in.

I believe Bucci is out and no he can’t open a legal dispensary as he is a convicted criminal. Like how convicted drug dealers also cannot become a pharmacist.

We had a Trooper applicant, lead local police on a high speed chase and throw drugs out of his car, and still get hired. His Mama was a high ranking Trooper and was the right skin color. He subsequently was fired for committing insurance fraud by setting his own car on fire.

She was probably trying out many different kinds of wrapping paper. That would qualify as “experimenting”, wouldn’t it?

Exactly.

Nowadays law enforcement are loaded with husband and wife teams, entire families and friends, all on the payroll. It's very widespread.

I think the first part of that sentence answers the last part of that sentence.

My hometown police forces was involved in a controversy because some cops were investigating other cops who were running criminal enterprises from the police force. The investigating cops were shut down and forced to resign. The dirty cops eventually fell under the weight of the feds.
You can guess the reasons.

Likely a quota hire.

Drug dealer quota? It’s not hard to fine females that have not committed crimes to fill a quota.

“Drug dealer quota?”

No! Skin color quota, or “affirmative action” in Newspeak

She was screwing a Colonel or something in the State Troopers, her ability to spread her legs is what got her hired. And everything else covered up. Aren’t they just so honorable and trustworthy?? I’d trust them with my life /sarc
