It would be interesting if someone he framed ended up sharing his cell.

Every single one of his stops should be thrown out. Nobody he ever “found” or actually found drugs on should be in jail. All should have any convictions reversed.

He sounds like a great candidate for a position in Biden’s Justice Department.

“During Odom’s arrest, Wester was seen on body-cam footage carrying a baggie to her truck.”
Criminals tend to be very dumb people, even when they are cops.

One reason O.J. Simpson got away with murder was because L.A. cops were known to plant evidence to enhance charges. This came out a few years after the trial and they had to release/compensate loads of criminals.

I would say that this would be grounds for a new trial with all evidence of drugs found thrown out.

This is why I”ve told all my kids to NEVER give the police permission to search their vehicle. If they say that they will just get a search warrant, I tell them to go ahead. I’ll wait.

This is one reason why you never consent to a search.

I'm talking about a cop -- that's mixed up in drugs. I'm talking about ah-- ah - a dishonest cop -- a crooked cop who got mixed up in the rackets and got what was coming to him.

Don’t forget. “All those people he planted drugs on at some point in their lives may have done drugs, thought about doing drugs, knew somebody that did drugs or has a a third cousins twice removed who deals drugs.”

“Criminals tend to be very dumb people, even when they are cops’’.
Stupidity is the handmaiden of criminality.

Absolutely. In addition, all records of those arrested by him should be expunged.
