You know, I received a speeding ticket about a month ago, and the ticketing officer wrote in a witnessing partner. As far as I could tell, there wasn't another cop with him, and I slightly wondered about that. Thought maybe I just didn't notice him. This makes me wonder if it was a case similar to that article....

That's interesting you say that... I got a ticket a few months back, there was an additional witnessing officer that I never saw... taking the case to court in sept, my lawyer said that I have a dirty cop, and the other guy was more than likely not even there. I asked my cousin, who is HPD if he knew the other cop(witness, he told me he is a huge scumbag and I should try to take him down in court... challenge accepted.


After reading that article more... My ticket was in May, and was near that area on I-10 and 610... curious to find out of the name of the dirty cop...

If that was my cop, by chance... does that mean my case gets thrown out?

At the least, it means he won't show up to court, so there won't be a witness to testify against you.

NOTHING worse than a crooked cop. A murderer at least is not entrusted with special priviliges that allow him special priviliges not given to the general population. If this guy was writing bogus tickets and charging overtime he didn't deserve, he is the lowest form of human. Hopefully all of his accomplices will locked up in jail with people that are made aware that they are crooked cops. Glad that this guy is now off the streets.

I liked the use of "citizen" as well. Was it written by a superhero?

all that for more overtime. like most mysteries in life, just follow the money.

the bad thing is not only do guys like this reap the immediate rewards of overtime pay, these inflated wages give them much bigger pensions when they retire, too, and this guy wasn't far from retiring I bet (4 more years to hit 25 years).

$158k over 3 years.

Assuming he's making $45/hr for overtime, that's 22.5 hours of overtime a week. That's some serious spare time he had.

Guarantee you this ******* was probably doing some extra work as a security guard somewhere or parking lot attendant while making "overtime" that's how some of these ******* cops make 200k/year and then hit pension and retire at age 40, then get ANOTHER government job and get another pension at 60

HPD and HFD (and their pensions) are the sacred cows that are going to break the city's financial limits, yet the civil service municipal employees are the ones who make the sacrifices to protect the sacred cows - and some of us (like me) are not paid with tax dollars, unlike HPD and HFD. They are 100% general fund.

We don't agree on much but you're right on the money there. I've got a friend who is 46 and just hit his 25 years on the force as a Lieutenant; he's retiring with a pension of $60k/year plus 3% annual raise.

$60k/yr at 46 doesnt sound like much of a retirement.

60k a year but you don't have to put any money of that money away for retirement, and it's forever, and you can get another job.

those pension benefits look pretty unsustainable to me.

Maybe it people were living to 60.

At age 56, he'll make $80,630. Without having worked more than 25 years.

At age 66, he'll make $108,336

At age 76, he'll make $137,275

And so on, and so on, and so on.

What dumbasses. If they didn't get greedy they would have probably never been caught.
