Although.... over 90% of convictions are plea bargains. This will cause a problem because they didn't take it to trial.

Steroids are big problem with young to early middle age cops. Let's face it,when push comes to shove,those guys have to go toe to toe with some mean characters. I've had couple of relatives who went into law enforcement,it's a dangerous and thankless job.

Speed is abused too. You've got departments cutting back due the lack of tax dollars coming in due to this extended recession. A lot of those guys are pulling double shifts. After awhile,some of those guys resort to artificial means to stay alert.

However,this guy reminds of local cop who was head of a nearby city's drug awareness program. The guy had a large grow op going and a meth lab running,both with the help of folks he was supposedly rehabing. Plus,he swindled a couple of older women he was involved out of a large amount of money and presents. Too bad they put ex-cops in protective custody in prison. This guy should have been the poster boy for going into the general population.

I remember meeting him at a community fundraiser,the first thing I thought as he was walking away was, "That cat is crooked as they come."

Cops should be held to a higher standard than the general public. And when they are caught violating the very law they swore to uphold, the penalties should be much greater.

I'm with Hogdady! Police get a lot of slack in a lot of things. When one is busted not only breaking the law but doing so in such an egregous manner, the book should be thrown and thrown HARD.

Far as protective custody, the cops should have thought of prison before breaking the law they're sworn to uphold. Put 'em in with the population like everyone else and let 'em take their chances with all the ppl they helped put there.

I have respect for clean cops. Nothing but scorn and derision for dirty ones. Busting and jail is the best thing for 'em.
