    If cops can use this shit with their own discretion, it’s insufficient to punish the cops that get caught abusing their discretion

    This shit shouldn’t even exist in the first place, though.

      It sounds like they need a little more oversight but if you read the article the cop was working around the safeguards and using real case #s and whatnot.

      The audit caught him though which is a good thing. The not so great thing is that this was an audit to figure out their usage for re,doing licenses, and not a routine audit to check for…behavior like this.

      The biggest issue I have with all of this is that he resigned before the merit board could make a determination…so what? That’s that? I’d imagine they can still make a determination.
