I just recently had a conversation about Constitutional law with a Milwaukee Police Officer with car stops and the Fourth Amendment. And basically what it came down to was him saying “The constitution doesn’t apply to you when I’m on the job – period!” “I don’t care if you think Im a Jack booted Nazi because I am”

(Ill leave the name of this officer withheld – lets just call him Josh)

I couldn’t really believe it but I can understand how these officers get on there power trips with the things they see and deal with. The simple fact is they take an Oath on the Constitution of America to uphold….I believe when they get sworn in.

Im glad I left that town

One of the problems with Milwaukee law enforcement is that the reign of Art Jones has pushed many good, experienced cops out of the MPD and encouraged an internal environment that encourages idiocy. For example, one of Jone's top aids diverted a patrol car from a shooting call to deal with a car blocking traffic.

And of course, jerks work in every profession...sorry you ran into one.
