They are government agents acting in pursuit of their duties as such. The PD needs to be punished for their incompetence and the only way to do that is to hit them in the pocket book, even though the taxpayers are the ones who ultimately pay the price. When they get fed up with the costs of government incompetence, then they will change it........................
As long as there are public sector unions it will not faze these police departments. These kind of screw ups should come out of the leading officers hide, either he is fired or he gets demoted and and pay cut. Until then they will not change their tactics.
I have friends and relatives who are police officers and if someone did this to their family there would be hell to pay and pay back, but this family gets not even an apology for this cluster%*(& of an operation.
In the 1970’s we lived next to a bunch of nut ball neighbors who were always causing problems with everyone in the neighborhood. One day they decided to take a warrant out for my Dad because he had cut grass on the property line with a weed eater and piece of grass landed in their grass, I kid you not(the judge threw this out of court and tore into the neighbors and their attorney for such idiocy and the wasting of his time).
These lowlifes had a friend who was a deputy in the sheriff’s department who showed up in the evening at dinner time with another deputy to serve the warrant. They knocked and asked to come in Dad said sure officers and they stepped in and one deputy started cursing and ranting about arresting him if he didn’t have money to hand them for bond payment then. Dad said deputy would you please not use that language in front of my kids they are all very young and I don’t use that kind of language around them, we were all at the dinner table eating. The deputy essentially said I will blanked blank blank what I want and if you say another word I will arrest your blank blank now.
Dad said to Mom go get the money, he counted it out the deputy served the papers and wrote out a receipt and they left with another barrage of profanity and threats and went next door to tell their friends who had taken their warrant what happened.
Dad picked up the phone and called the local asst. chief of police, told him what happened and he was royally pissed at the deputies unprofessional behavior. He contacted the sheriff and explained what his deputy had just done. The next day the sheriff called my Dad to apologize and you will not have to deal with this deputy every again except for today. Later that day the deputy showed up at my Dad’s business and apologized profusely to him and my Mom.
