NYPD seems to be getting a pass from major media... but 2 dui cops in a month? And another NYPD cop w/o justification shooting a unarmed non suspect due to road rage? and 3 NYPD plead guilty to bribery? Is there any honest cop in all of NYPD? The NYPD chief should resign in shame and disgust that his dept is full of dirty cops

Bystanders corralled a drunken off-duty nypd Officer Nicholas Batka, after his speeding SUV killed a Brooklyn pedestrian and horribly injured three of his college pals

The Durango was seen swerving in the seconds before impact. His runaway SUV tore the leg off one victim and left another impaled on a fence, witnesses said.

The inebriated second-year cop flashed his badge and slipped into his SUV’s passenger’s seat about 3 a.m. Saturday as the mangled victims writhed in agony on a bloodstained sidewalk in Williamsburg.

A cell phone video captured a man in a red shirt wagging a menacing finger at Batka, keeping the SUV door shut tight and the off-duty cop pinned inside.

The sloshed cop was trapped inside the SUV — on the driver’s side by a utility pole he crashed into and on the passenger side by the enraged onlookers.

Detective Jermaine Clark, also off-duty, was arrested for driving drunk June 27 after crashing his Honda into several parked cars near Brooklyn College just after noon.

Responding officers noticed that Clark had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and the smell of alcohol on his breath at the scene, according to officials. Clark, a nearly 13-year veteran of the force, was charged with driving while his ability was impaired and refusing to take a breath test.

New York’s finest haven’t been doing much better outside their cars. On Wednesday, audio surfaced of an NYPD captain pressuring an inferior officer to engage in racial profiling. Three NYPD commanders were arrested on federal corruption charges June 20. The following day, police in Brooklyn launched an overnight manhunt, which included use of a search helicopter, to find Rhamar Perkins.

Perkins, who is 16-years old, had run away after jumping a subway turnstile.

Now you may have a bit more understanding about why people all over the USA are angry that cops are corrupt, dirty, and no damn good. Or you can look at former LA County Sheriff Lee Baca and undersheriff Paul Tanaka, both getting 5 years federal prison terms for interfering with an FBI investigation on civil rights violations and lying to investigators during an FBI probe of civil rights violations in the jail system - just 2 of 10 cops who have been convicted of intimidating the lead FBI agent, concealing the whereabouts of an inmate, a federal informant, and pressuring deputies not to cooperate with the investigation. Those were the police dept's finest ? and most senior officers !

But that is just the smallest sliver of corruption in NYPD. Deputy Chief Michael Harrington, 50, Deputy Inspector James Grant, 43, and Sgt. David Villanueva, 42, all high-ranking members of the police force, and Officer Richard Ochetal, who previously pleaded guilty to bribery charges in the investigation. The charges are part of wider probe by federal prosecutors and the FBI focusing on police supervisors and whether they engaged in services like police escorts, fixing traffic tickets or shutting down streets for private events. Reichberg and Rechnitz have been generous supporters of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. Rechnitz was the target of a fundraising investigation until he pleaded guilty to corruption charges several weeks ago.

the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension admits breath tests are more than 3 times as inaccurate as urine or blood tests, potentially negating hundreds of pending DWI cases were drivers were close to the legal limit

Yesterday, in court, for the first time, a BCA scientist revealed that they are now willing to share just how inaccurate Minnesota’s breath tests actually are. The number they cited was basically “0.01,” an uncertainty figure that specifically applies to tests around the 0.08 level, and more at higher levels.

Consider this fact, helpfully provided by the Department of Public Safety: annually, Minnesota sees approximately 2,000 drivers who provide a breath sample between 0.08 and 0.09 and get charged with a DWI. With this new information, those drivers are very much "not guilty."

It’s not often that science prevails in a legal battle, especially when government scientists are doing their best to convince judges that the science doesn’t matter.

 Today it matters.

I'd love to see a infographic on cop cars... numbers per state.

Seems like Ohio is saturated with cop cruisers... and that California has none.

In Ohio a lot of freeways have grassy medians for separating the different direction of traffic, but in California it's a concrete wall 4 feet high. 

want to read an interesting list of how many people don't drive legally for many reasons? Check this link out

Seriously amazing how many people are smoking pot and driving, driving without insurance, driving with out paying the car tax (this is in England) driving a car and never getting it registered in England because they came from some other country or work in another country

how to get cops to be where you want them, when you want them, and no where else? And the cops foolishly fall for this obvious ploy, yup, 10 local and state police depts all rolled up like flies to a porch light... because the Hells Angels came to help with a charity benefit. (They ought to charge money for this magical ability to get cops to show up in force, like using a dog whistle)

An Indiana school for kids with cancer and other disabling problems http://www.pces.k12.in.us/domain/21 in Valparaiso, was the charity that a bar was having a fundraiser for.... and you know I am on call to help spread the word for kids charities.... c'mon, who isn't???!!!

So, the Hells Angels put out a flyer so interested members could know about the charity fundraiser, and suddenly, 10 police agencies, and a mobile command center, the SWAT team and a helo unit were all converging.

I hope to hell they were hit up to contribute to the cause. Maybe, they were hoping to repeat the Waco biker massacre. You can't tell anymore.

"The fundraiser at The Mill, which included other biker groups, drew around 80 motorcycles, Wright said, adding nothing happened at the bar, despite the fact that the event attracted the county's SWAT Team and the Lake County Sheriff's Department's helicopter unit." Theresa Wright, owner of the Mill Bar and Grill, Burns Harbor, Indiana, just East of Gary Indiana on Lake Michigan. Wright said the business raises money for various positive causes throughout the year and this was just another fundraiser. 

A member of the Hells Angels Northwest Indiana Region said in a statement Saturday  "We do understand the need for law enforcement in our society, however what happened Thursday night was a waste of their talents and a waste of our tax dollars."

Agencies with nothing better to do, and stupid enough to fall for obvious bait tactics, taking part in the saturation patrol were the Indiana State Police, Indiana Excise Police and the Porter County Sheriif, Lake County Sheriff, Porter PD, Portage PD, Ogden Dunes PD, Valparaiso PD, Chesterton, Kouts and Hebron police departments.

NYPD and the NYC mayor have no real crimes to fight, (drugs, murders, Wall Street banking housing bubble fiasco) as evidenced by their time wasting photo op destroying a couple dozen atvs.

According to the NYPD, all-terrain motorcycles and ATVs are illegal on the streets of New York City, and the force doesn’t want them to end up back on the roads for the sake of safety.
