Sacramento County California Deputy Sheriff Sgt. Tim Curran Is Afraid Of YouTube
June 30th, 2008
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - A homeowner is turning to YouTube to help identify a pair of suspected thieves, but authorities warn that such actions can do more harm than good.
The video shows two men attempting to steal a motorbike from a local home, but they have no luck, and eventually take off empty-handed. Dave Johnson wasn’t so fortunate, and thieves were able to steal his bike last Thursday morning.
Dave didn’t have any cameras of his own, so he posted an ad on Craigslist in hopes of warning other local bike owners. He soon received a response from a neighbor, who had caught the two men on his surveillance camera.
“Somebody tried to steal his bike about 5:00 in the morning,” Dave said.
They posted the video on YouTube, but authorities say they may have hurt their case.

June 28th, 2008
UK - The Brown government has changed its mind on placing security scanners at every London tube station and mainline train stations across the country, because the technology does not work and the public would not tolerate the long delays such scanning would require.
Despite doubts from London Underground after the original trials Gordon Brown gave the scheme his support in November 2007. London Underground questioned the practicality of the technology as well as worrying that the queues created would provide a new target for terrorists.
But today Tom Harris, Under-Secretary of State for Transport, said the project would be abandoned because achieving airport-style screening is not feasible using today’s technology, and the public would not stand for the delays caused and the invasion of privacy involved.
As we pointed out at the time the “security theatre” of such a scheme would be more important than any actual impact.

June 26th, 2008
MUNCIE, INDIANA - A Delaware County sheriff deputy is in trouble after state police arrested him for drunk driving at a sobriety checkpoint.
Ray Dudley, a 10-year veteran of the department, was among 11 people arrested for drunken driving at the police checkpoints. Dudley was driving his personal car early Sunday when he was arrested with a blood alcohol content of .10. The legal limit in Indiana is .08.
Ironically, Dudley is also a DARE officer for the department, who speaks in schools about the dangers of substance abuse.
The department said no one was available to comment on Dudley’s arrest Tuesday. In addition to criminal charges, he could also face disciplinary action.
Tuesday, public reaction to the arrest - particularly given Dudley’s role as a DARE officer - was swift.
“I’d say he needs to practice what he preaches,” said Muncie resident Sandy Stewart.
Read MoreRequired Written Consent For Searches May Eventually Eliminate Some Illegal Searches By New York City Police Officers
June 24th, 2008
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - New York Police Department investigators say they’ll now obtain written consent before searching homes or vehicles, a requirement meant to provide extra legal protection.
Police say officers previously performed searches with verbal consent. If a person declines to submit to a search, a warrant would then have to be issued.
Verbal consent searches can be challenged at a trial, and the written form potentially eliminates the argument that police entered a home or searched a car or bag without permission.
The initiative was put into place last week and first was reported by Newsday. Written consent forms are used by many police departments around the country and by the FBI.
The New York Civil Liberties Union says the form is a way to better document interactions between officers and civilians but shouldn’t be used to coerce people.
New Charges Filed Against Muscogee Oklahoma Police Officer Kris Ledford - Caught On Tape Stealing Scanner From Radio Shack, Stealing Guns From Evidence, Posing As A Tulsa Officer And Picking Up A Safe - Now Charged With Stealing Officer’s Bulletproof Vest And Selling It.
June 21st, 2008
MUSCOGEE, OKLAHOMA - A Muskogee police officer faces new charges. Kris Ledford is already charged with stealing guns from the Muskogee Police Department’s property room.
News On 6’s crime reporter Lori Fullbright reports Ledford is now accused of taking a fellow officer’s bullet proof vest and selling it to a deputy in Cherokee County. He also faces criminal charges in Tulsa.
The News On 6’s Lori Fullbright has interviewed Kris Ledford and talked to him on the phone several times. She reports he’s a husband and the father of a toddler girl. The people she has talked to agree, and say this is a bad deal, not just for him, but for the reputation of police officers all over Green Country.
Tulsa Police say it was a surveillance tape that started unraveling it all. They say it shows Muskogee Officer Kris Ledford and his friend, Shawn Busby, inside a Tulsa Radio Shack on May 1st, as Busby steals a police scanner.

Read MoreIndianapolis Indiana Police Officers Robert B. Long, Jason P. Edwards, And James D. Davis Charged By Feds After Using Their Badges To Steal Drugs And Money From Drug Dealers
June 18th, 2008
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - Allegations that three of his officers used their badges to steal from drug dealers prompted IMPD Chief Michael Spears to announce plans Tuesday to conduct random polygraph tests on all narcotics investigators.
“We want to maintain the highest integrity within these specialized units,” Spears said.

Polygraph tests for officers in narcotics and other specialized units, such as vice, were eliminated two years ago with the formation of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Spears said. He said they had been standard practice under the former Indianapolis Police Department.
“A check and balance is important, and we’re going to move forward with that,” Spears said.
The polygraphs are an effort to prevent future embarrassments like Monday’s FBI arrests of officers Robert B. Long, Jason P. Edwards and James D. Davis. Prosecutors say the officers stole cash and marijuana from drug dealers and resold the drugs through an Eastside music store.

February 29th, 2008
LARGO, FLORIDA - Dorothy Palinchik, the 42-year-old waitress whose family alleges she did not receive adequate health care at Pinellas County Jail, died Thursday at Largo Medical Center, according to her live-in boyfriend.
Her diagnosis was a combination of pneumonia and a type of staph infection that is resistant to antibiotics, family members said. Her time of death was 4:14 p.m., according to the hospital and family members.
The day before Valentine’s Day, Palinchik was booked into Pinellas County Jail on charges she had stolen a $9.20 Philly steak sandwich from a Publix supermarket, said Palinchik’s mother, whose name also is Dorothy.
Nine days later, she left the jail in an ambulance.
Palinchik’s family and boyfriend think she got sick at the jail and that the staff there is responsible for her condition.
“They didn’t give her proper medical care,” said her mother. “I just don’t think they wanted to deal with it.”

Butcher Describes Gun Assault By Crazed Veteran Vancouver Washington Police Officer Roger Evans Over Seasoned Meat - “All Anybody Knew, This Guy Was A Meth-Head.”
December 23rd, 2007
VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON - Mike Brannan says he had no clue the man pointing a gun at him outside Top Choice Meat Market near Orchards on Friday afternoon was an off-duty Vancouver police officer.
“The Chevron station by us just got robbed, the Arco station just got robbed,” the butcher shop owner said. “He looked like a crack-head out there with a gun. All anybody knew, this guy was a meth-head.”
It wasn’t until police arrived on the scene, 12313 N.E. Fourth Plain Road, that Brannan learned the man he knew through his meat-processing order as Roger Evans is actually a 10-year Vancouver police officer originally from Gatlinburg, Tenn.
What had started as a dispute over venison jerky has escalated into a criminal investigation. Evans, 37, has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office’s inquest.

Lee County Florida Deputy Sheriff Troy Eugene Hale Arrested, Fired, Charged With Robbing Motorists During Bogus Traffic Stop
October 7th, 2006
LEE COUNTY, FLORIDA - A Lee County Sheriff’s deputy arrested for robbing four Hispanic men during a bogus traffic stop may have a history of similar actions, Lee County Sheriff’ Mike Scott said Thursday.
Troy Eugene Hale, 24, was arrested by and fired from the Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday, after a group of men say he pulled them over, frisked them and took $1,150 in cash from them.
Scott on Thursday said he anticipates additional charges once a investigation into Hale’s actions is complete.
“There’s a chance that it’s not the first time he did it,” Scott said. “With criminals you always assume they’ve done it before. Right now all I know is what he did the other night.”

August 20th, 2006
NAPLES, FLORIDA - The two Naples police officers fired in July and accused of submitting diploma-mill degrees to obtain pay increases said during an internal investigation they had been told by department administrators prior to submitting the degrees that they would qualify for the state’s salary incentive program.
And paperwork approving one of the officers’ incentive pay bears a bogus signature of current Chief Victor Morales, who was a police captain at the time.
Deputy Chief James Slapp, who is handling the case for the department, said the two officers still should have known a degree obtained online without taking classes or exams would not qualify for the program, and that the two officers had a responsibility to turn in legitimate degrees.
