I was on a dwi jury duty a few years back. The cop swore under oath the defendant was slurring so badly he couldn't understand him and therefore took him to jail. He also swore there was no recording of the incident and that the guy failed the the field sobriety test. Low and behold the defense was able to produce a recording of it -- not even remotely slurring. Strike 1. Then the cop was asked to demonstrate the FST he used as evidence -- and he fell on the floor of the court room -- not once -- but twice. Strike 2 and 3. I was proud to hang that jury. There were no repercussions for the cop for lying under oath -- I later found out he was a wife beating state cop that was forced to resign and then moved to the local sheriff to continue his shitty behavior. Moral of the story: there's no punishment for this type of thing and the entire system supports it. Avoid police at all costs. |

There should be no accountability for LEOs, they are superior in every way to civilians. You cant grasp how difficult being a sheep dog is, personal responsibility and honesty have no place in law enforcement, only qualified immunity, as far as the eye can see... |

Gross misdemeanor becomes low level felony, low level felony becomes more serious felony, and eventually the lying POS would be looking at 20 to life for planting drugs. |

Consider also they probably get away with it most of the time compared to murder and it needs serious penalties not the slap on the wrist it is now. |

I'm laughing at my own hypocrisy here, cause when I watch movies and series episodes where cops plant evidence on truly bad guy - guys that are guilty without doubt of truly heinous crimes - I usually cheer and root for the cops. I really love the original "Dexter" series and always root for Dex  |

I also think it’s easy for some cops to deny it because the culture is very different between regions and departments. They probably can’t imagine it’s more prevalent because it’s not where they are. |

Yup, I have a friend who spent his life as a criminal defense lawyer. He tells me he has constantly dealt with cops lying in court. Yeah lawyers lie too, but at least everyone knows and accepts that. |

I might have penned a letter to their chief and copied it to a few journalists speaking of how, as a juror, I saw him lying on the stand and saying unambiguously how his absolute lack of integrity is why I personally went with Not Guilty. It might not do anything, but doing nothing does even less. |

One of my neighbors is a paid fireman. He’s a belligerent drug user who “knows everyone” and gets away with everything (speeding, destroying property, screaming at his kids, working multiple second jobs while clocked in on-duty at his ‘real’ firefighter job) thanks to his various connections. It’s comically infuriating. |

I was watching one of those court TV things. Lady was being prosecuted for drug possession. Defense lawyer told the judge "The officers bodycam shows the officer putting the drugs in her car." Judge, "I'd like to see that." They played it for the whole courtroom, some quiet gasps and murmering. Judge chuckles, "I don't think we can count that. Now, do you have any other evidence against her? No? Defendant is not guilty. Next case please." I was like "WHAT ABOUT THE FACT YOU JUST WATCHED THAT COP PLANT EVIDENCE!!!???" The TV ignored me, so did the judge. |

Now I don't know who or what agency the coke belonged to but it was someone with enough pull to get it released. Sorry. I have not kept newspapers from the 1980s nor did I record the television news. I do recall the deputies were from the sheriffs 'special unit'. As for the Health Department, there were so many issues, it was involved with regulating certain businesses and operations, not just providing substandard medical care. The most prominent was a very senior person, Doctor Gladys Branic, who publicly boasted about going to businesses which cannot operate without her approval and telling them she wanted them to be her 'friend' and wanted 'donations' from them. |

Originally Posted By wyopatr: I think an agent of the state trying to frame you for a felony should be a capital crime. For years I was perplexed by the states that have a very narrow list of capital crimes, including homicide of LE but not including homicide of pregnant women, defenseless children or the old and feeble. I had it explained to me once, that killing a citizen is a crime against that citizen, while killing a cop is a crime against the society the cop is defending. Well, let us consider the cops, judges, prosecutors who willfully violate that same societal contract that we willingly pay them every dollar they earn in their careers to uphold. Let us consider that, when they violate that contract, instead of death or life sentences, or even equal sentences to their innocent victims, they get set free by judges who praise them on their long lives of accepting money to uphold that societal contract which they gleefully violated. Remember being surprised when Lynn Adelman, a Clinton appointed leftist shill, gave Hannah Dugan a fair and harsh trial and denied all defense demands for a rehearing? Remember not being surprised, when Adelman finally delivered his sentence in her case, praising her 'lifetime of service'? Click To View Spoiler So I am not surprised that ASP chose to willfully cover up this trooper's crime, instead of simply prosecuting him for possession of the same coke he charged the victim with, and prosecuting him for all the felonies involved in his attempted perversion of justice and willful violation of his contract with society. It's a big club and he's in it. So the TBL will just have to forgive the rest of us for looking down on them for the tribal nature of their club. Or they can stop acting like tribal savages. The choice is theirs, not ours, to make. If they (as a whole, not just a few individuals) make the hard choice, it'll take a generation or longer to see any positive results in public attitudes. |

When people who once looked up to cops, (like I did at one time) learn that we are all bad guys in the eyes of jaded cops, it becomes difficult to give a shit about those cocksuckers anymore either. |

Moral of the story: there's no punishment for this type of thing and the entire system supports it. Avoid police at all costs. It's maddening. ''Objective'' VS ''subjective.'' It's why you never EVER let cops do any type of subjective testing on you. Always claim all rights you have and STFU. [yeah, they really do hate that] Never ever do a FST type test ever. Don't care if you are the most athletic and coordinated person in the world, it's still a subjective test. Now, blow if you've not had anything to drink, sure, that is a objective test, same for blood drawn at a third party facility like a hospital. Objective testing ALWAYS beats subjective testing 100% of the time in every way, and gets the cops own personal beliefs, false conclusions, and emotions out of the picture. Humans are a flawed species when it comes to the aforementioned. And again, STFU and invoke your rights, ALL your rights. They are not your friends, buddies, or confidants, everything you stupidly tell them will be used to F you over. And remember, it's what they ALWAYS do themselves if they F up. They will always invoke every right they have even if they don't want you to do the same. PS, and for Gods sake, have a valid DL, POI, and registration easily accessed ON PAPER. [put POI and registration in the flip up mirror visor above your head, never in the glovebox] Don't bet on your phone to pull it up and don't open your phone up to anything save for ''record.'' |

AR news link states the trooper was de-certified. I assume that means he can no longer serve in any capacity in law enforcement. The arrest took place in South Arkansas. I grew up in South Arkansas and policing has always been done differently in that part of the state. IMO it has always reminded me of the song The Night The LIghts Went Out In Georgia. https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/local-regional-news/2026-06-11/former-arkansas-state-trooper-decertified-after-investigation-into-2023-drug-arrest |
