Green Haven Correctional Facility guard Orianna Lord, 37, went down after an investigation by State Police and special investigators for the Department of Corrections.

Mueller reportedly did not include some high denomination bills in the inventory. He faces charges of tampering with physical evidence and stealing less than $500. Oh, and Mueller is now a former Moberly police officer; he was fired upon arrest.

In Jackson, Mississippi, a Hinds County jail guard was arrested Monday for allegedly bringing drugs into the prison. Brodrick Cardale Taylor, 21, is accused of delivering marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids, Xanax, and ecstasy in a plan to deliver it to an inmate. It's not clear yet what the formal charges are.

In San Juan, Puerto Rico, a dozen current and former TSA employees were arrested Monday for participating in a scheme to smuggle a whopping 20 tons of cocaine through airport security there over a period of nearly two decades. Drug mules would allegedly bring the cocaine to the airport, then hand it off to baggage handlers who were part of the conspiracy, who then handed it off to TSA agents who were also part of the conspiracy to get it past X-ray machines. The names of the TSA agent conspirators are José Cruz-López, Luis Vázquez-Acevedo, Keila Carrasquillo, Carlos Rafael Adorno-Hiraldo, Antonio Vargas-Saavedra, Javier Ortiz, Tomas Dominguez-Rohena, Edwin Francisco Castro, Luis Vázquez-Acevedo, Ferdinand López, Miguel Ángel Pérez-Rodríguez and Daniel Cruz-Echevarría.

Officer Julian Archuleta, 48, pleaded guilty to first-degree official misconduct and theft, then immediately resigned. Archuleta went down after his own body camera snitched him out. The camera showed Archuleta inspecting the interior of a vehicle that had fled from police and crashed, finding cash, picking up several $100 bills, then moving papers around to try to hide the remaining money. The $100 bills were never entered into evidence.

In New York City, a former DEA Special Agent-in-Charge was sentenced last Wednesday to a year's probation for lying about working at an "adult entertainment establishment." Former agent David Polos was convicted of lying on national security form about his connection with the strip club during a background check specifically designed to determine his suitability as a federal law enforcement agent with access to classified information. Polos also lied about his close relationship with a foreign national who danced at the club. He was convicted of making false statements on the security form.

I understand that there is corruption in the Judicial System and if you care to expose it, well then the corner is all yours.

Rise Of the Warrior Cop, yes
I think he writes for washpo now, but he used to have a very active and awesome blog at theagitator.com, which now appears to be gone. I know he has some stuff over at reason.

It's difficult for me to read the stuff he reports and not feel RAGE. I liked his work more when he didn't have to answer to anyone. I still like what he writes, his employer annoys me though.

Washington Post, Yes and theagitator.com is history now. https://twitter.com/radleybalko if you do not already follow him.

I have not, a quick search shows me it's not free. I certainly don't mind paying but it will have to wait. The synopsis looks good, what did you think?
Working Link at the moment......



I've heard the stories, seen the footage, elongated Sixty Minutes. Compelling antidotes, police training, misconceptions on both sides, power struggles and the fear of being shot and all in 72 minutes. I liked David Grossman books..."Killing" and "On Combat" worth reading in my opinion.

Thank you for the link, it's on my to do list for the weekend.

I assume you are familiar with drugwarrant.com?

This isn't exactly bad cop, but bad politician and bad cop. I haven't noticed an asset forfeiture thread yet, but tbh I haven't looked around very hard.

Showing true colors on asset forfeiture
A friend sent me this article, not so much about the disagreement between President Trump and a Senator, but the underlying discussion that led to it.

Texas Democrats Angered by Trump’s Remark on Destroying Senator’s Career

“Mr. President, on asset forfeiture,” Sheriff Eavenson said, in an exchange that was observed by reporters and filmed, “we’ve got a state senator in Texas that was talking about introducing legislation to require conviction before we can receive that forfeiture money, and I told him that the cartel would build a monument to him in Mexico if he could get that legislation passed.”


“Can you believe that?” Mr. Trump responded, then added, “Who’s the state senator?”


Sheriff Eavenson did not reply. “Do you want to give his name?” Mr. Trump said. “We’ll destroy his career.” Laughter then broke out.


Sigh.

@LocalGrowGuy ...Yes, very familiar with that site one that I have come too appreciate over the years. In my opinion good analysis and I enjoy the occasional rants such as the above.

Jeff Sessions covers asset forfeiture in "Do Not Resist". After you have a chance to view the documentary maybe a thread can be started. I for one would be appreciative of your opinions being a victim of that process a long time ago. The motivational aspect (asset forfeiture) of LEO needs to be stopped or limited by stronger legislation.

Amen - This is the one thing that all the uninformed money in my area forgets. Nope, conviction not required. Just gone. Game over if that was your everything. Better luck next time, thanks for playing.

On weediquette there was a lady that said they took her lingerie and hung it from the ceiling fan, confiscated her box of marital aids and nude pics that her husband had taken, and took money from her childs birthday card for asset forfeiture because they were growing. Guess that little kids birthday money was funding illegal activity?

Thanks man! I just watch the movies you shared and I must thank you immediately. But seem like most of the video links are unavailable and it takes quite sometimes loading the movies. I don't know is it because of my network connection or there are other reasons. I often watch movies on this site and i didn't experience any lag or anything, just some ads and pop up to worry about.
Anyway thanks for the post.Cheers
