Good for her. The "Old Boys Network" is just trying to protect one of thier own, who was clearly in the wrong. I hope each of those selfimportant jackarses have to pay up.

It sounds like the Trooper is in the right. Cops need to get some reality checks and realize they aren't (or shouldn't be) above the law.

Watts suspected her private driver's license information was being accessed by fellow officers, so she made a public records request with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. It turned out she was right: over a three-month period, at least 88 law enforcement officers from 25 different agencies accessed Watts' driver's license information more than 200 times, according to her lawyer.
Nice.

Funny, you'd think the cops would be harassing the Miami cop who felt like it was OK to go 120 in his marked patrol car....you know, the guy who actually gives other cops a bad name. Instead, they harass the lady who put a stop to that joyride. Go figure.

Shit like this causes people to seriously distrust our police force and see it as organized crime.

Plus the jackass Miami cop was "late for an OFF-DUTY job". What a POS.

When there are no repercussions for this sort of thing, it encourages more of it. If these police officers were punished the same way any civilian would be, this sort of thing would stop. But that's not going to happen anytime soon.

In LA 8 cops fired 103 rounds into the pickup truck of two women delivering papers. Remember that back when that cop killer dude was on the lamb? Well, after a two year investigation, they were found to have not broken any department policies.

A civilian who fired even one round into a vehicle by mistake would be punished to the letter of the law with extreme prejudice in LA (well, unless he was a gang banger...)

It's the double standard that really frosts me.
