Wow.....just wow....

Well, that's pretty damned disappointing.

Question for LEOs - When they go about reviewing cases handled by officers that end up doing stuff like this (e.g., admitting they're fine with fudging reports to cover up their willingness and intent to violate constitutional rights), how does that process work, and would you say it is effective?
 
Something needs to change to where instead of suing the city/state and getting a tax payer funded payout, people need to be held personally responsible for illegal actions.

I'm sure officer hayseed would have his shit straight if he knew he'd be going to jail for getting caught doing shit like that.

She sounds dumb as shit; you think SHE came up with that method? Fuck no. It happens all the time. 'We re writing the report. And look at the fat faggot standing in the back - as soon as she says it, hes nodding.
 
It's Louisiana. Don't you remember the videos of the the two New Orleans cops looting after Katrina?
There is not a more corrupt place in America, lord knows Chicago tries, but Louisiana has been doing it since before they were a territory.

Having lived in both La and Chicago, I'd say that La is better at it. You're right that Chicago does it's best, but they lack the subtle nuances. All I could see on this story was the commentary and not the story itself, but it appears she failed Subtlety 101 as well.

EDIT: Finally got to the story and video, and yep, she's an idiot. Rookie female trying to flex and show off for another agency, at least one of whom' officers was really trying to save her ass by trying to keep the search legal. I'm sure that being a female she was a darling of the Dept until she filmed herself screwing the pooch.

Not an LEO but work at an Agency (and stayed at a Holiday Inn last night)

I don't know the exact process for it, but I'm fairly certain the DA's office is immediately notified and the LEO is placed on a list (forget the name of it, but it is significant in that all the busts are now suspect).

As for the LEO, I can only speak for my organization (in central Colorado), there would be an IA investigation probably beginning within a day. Once completed that LEO would be bounced, I've seen it happen several times.

One of the easiest ways out the door here is violating the "Departure from the Truth" policy.

Would they actually go back over all the cases this lady touched, though?

Media seems to make a big deal about previous cases being overturned, I'm just curious if it's ever works out that a lot people get out of jail sometime later when it involves just one or a couple of officers that were shown to have maybe had a habit of doing things in a way that didn't line up with policy.

I know when it's a pretty big snafu like the stingray usage in baltimore and the officers withholding the evidence obtained from that, caused panic as a couple thousand cases might be overturned. I don't know if any cases were overturned, though. Not sure what ever happened to Shemar Taylor.

Also, there was a deal in Chicago a while back where a Sergeant and his team had a habit of framing people which led to 15 cases getting thrown out.

Not familiar with any smaller cases like this one, where an officer that has arrested people was later shown to be fine with violating policy/constitutional rights/etc.
