Maybe they don't have the right connections. Here a cop got caught stealing gas for his and his family's personal vehicles when gas was really expensive. despite stealing over $10,000 dollars worth of gas and being on video when he did it they not only didn't fire him but let him stay on another year to get his pension.

Shouldn't every ticket they have ever issued be expunged and motorists given their money back?

If they are willing to lie about witnesses I bet  they are willing to give people made up  tickets.

If you're salaried, you get paid for results - not to warm a chair.

And also, of course, graded on results.

Theoretically - if an employee is not producing results, he / she should be let go.

That's the way it works for salaried folks in general.  Doesn't seem like LE need necessarily be any different.


The point is that saying 'i'm salaried so i'm only gonna work 40 hours a week and that's it' is not how it works.  Whether one ends up working 20 hours for that week or 120, it's the results one is graded on - and paid for.

And how did they not foresee being caught by eventually pulling over a cop from another agency, some supervisor they did not recognize, or some lawyer who knows how the tickets work and would look back and see only one cop etc etc. I suppose they were probably doing it forever but it seems like the dumbest scam ever.




 



Honestly?  Because the smartest people in Criminal Justice end up in an alphabet agency, the next rung down move up in the ranks so don't stay patrol for long.   Most city officers who are writing tickets are going to be of average intelligence at best...

HOUSTON -- On a Tuesday afternoon in March, Houston Police wrote up a Houston motorist for speeding in Northwest Houston. But he wasn't your everyday kind of driver.



"I've been behind the radar gun," said the man. He asked not to identified, because he too, is a police officer. We'll refer to him as Jerry.



And when HPD handed Jerry the ticket, there was a major red flag. "I immediately know that something's hinky with the ticket," Jerry said.



That's because the ticket-writing officer listed another HPD officer as a witness. "There was no other officer, he was the only officer there," Jerry said.

What he didn't know at the time, is what the I-Team has now uncovered through a paper trail of records--dozens of cases where HPD officers listed witnessing officers on tickets--who were never there.



It was all to allegedly collect hefty overtime checks by later appearing in traffic court.





Hunt said the Union is prepared to offer legal representation to Officers Gregory Rosa, Robert Manzanales and John Garcia. The three have been relieved of duty and reassigned to desk jobs while an internal affairs investigation proceeds.



The I-Team found the alleged ticket-rigging scheme took place mostly on highways. In one case in May, Officer Manzalnaes put Officer Farias down as a witness at 11:24 p.m. at I-10 and Westcott Street.



But at the same exact time, records show Farias was writing a ticket nine miles away at I-10 and Wilcrest.

I had that happen to me in north houston, got pulled over, and i knew i didnt do anything wrong infront of him, and the officer says i was paced by a cop in an unmarked car, and that officer claimed he saw me doing 70 in a 60, following too close, and not using my blinker. i thought that was a load of BS, so got a lawyer to fight it, and the lawyer got the court date reset, showed up and the cop was a no show, and the 700$ ticket was dismissed. but i still had to pay the lawyer 200 bucks.

I'd think if there were a reasonable explanation to this, the guy wouldn't have offed himself. Maybe he didn't have much faith in his union rep, which is odd given their astounding track record for getting cops out of all sorts of jams.

Quoted:



If you're salaried, you get paid for results - not to warm a chair.

And also, of course, graded on results.

Theoretically - if an employee is not producing results, he / she should be let go.

That's the way it works for salaried folks in general.  Doesn't seem like LE need necessarily be any different.


The point is that saying 'i'm salaried so i'm only gonna work 40 hours a week and that's it' is not how it works.  Whether one ends up working 20 hours for that week or 120, it's the results one is graded on - and paid for.

Agreed. And as soon as my 40 hours are up and I'm not getting paid, my investigation into your stolen car/TV/money goes into "wait until next week" mode. I'm good with it.

What results/metrics would you like used to measure a cops performance - number of citations issued or arrests made?
