Reminder that if the media is cool with putting the victim's name all over, then you should be cool with the officer's name all over.

Innocent until proven guilty am I right?

    There are a lot of things I hate about the Bible as an atheist, but one thing I really wish would be implemented is a double measured punishment for positions of authority. Every crime a police officer is found guilty of should be doubled, every time and without exception. They should always be aware of the fact that if they screw up it will be a much bigger deal for them.

    What do you expect in DeSatan's state.

    There's a lot of fucking sense in the bible sometimes, in a lot of cases the problem is it's good fucking sense for a tribe of nomadic folk 2500 years ago and then it's been filtered through various cults rewriting and reinterpreting it to suit their needs and viewpoints in the intervening time. The US constitution seems to be on the same sort of track.

    I hope Mr. Riley is found not guilty. And that all three officers who participated in this dangerous fraud are charged and punished appropriately. Mr. Riley deserves compensation for harm done. Tallahassee, you can do better. smh.

    When you know there will be no consequences, it's easier to be blatant with your corruption. The officer should be fired, arrested for falsifying official documents, and the chief of police should be fired.

    Cops: " THE PUBLIC IS SO HOSTILE TO US, WE CANT COMPREHEND WHY THEY HATE US NOBLE SAVIORS OF JUSTICE SO MUCH!"

    Also Cops:" I'll just casually destroy this persons property and frame them for a crime to fill my quota, and maybe..if he gets upset over it, I'll have an excuse to murder him! teehee! "

    Do to the video evidence, I give the jury a 50/50 chance of convicting, far higher than normal!

    https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/2024/04/04/tallahassee-police-chief-slams-release-of-edited-dui-video-before-trial/73208195007/

    Lol Tallahassee PD is going full "shoot the messenger and the messenger's dog" about this. Blithering on about how releasing the video is wrong and now the dude they tried to frame can't get a fair trial because people saw the video, which they were totally gonna show after the trial (trust me, bro. bro you gotta trust me. we can't have people knowing what happened until after he's found guilty and we get to take a bunch of his money by force.) but now everyone is gonna be prejudiced in favor of the defendant which violates his rights and that part of the video where she clearly opens a sealed container, dumps it out, throws it back into the car and then arrests him for open container was taken out of context.

    Straight up psychotic. She should get exactly whatever the max sentencing is that he would have gotten.

    More than that.

    Law enforcement should be held to a higher standard, and this kind of violation of trust and abuse of power deserves far more than just the punishment for a DUI. The DUI punishment should be stacked on top of whatever she can be charged with for this act itself: false arrest, filing false reports, falsifying evidence, etc. And there should be no allowance for serving those sentences concurrently.

    But it probably won't happen.

    Knowingly arresting someone based on false evidence should be charged federally as kidnapping.

    1. Unless you can prove in a court of law that another cop was told by another court not to dump booze in another victim's car, then arrest them for it, then there is no way we can expect her to have known this was wrong! (Qualified Immunity)

    2. Cops don't have to know the laws they're paid to enforce. (Heien v. North Carolina)

    3. Cops have no legal duty to protect you (DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services, Castle Rock v. Gonzales)

    What pieces of shit, also, she's dumb as fuck for clearly doing something illegal knowing she was wearing a bodycam.

    Bodycams should not have a way to turn them off on the field, there's no legitimate reason to, some states even allow it but require a 10 second timer

    Honestly, why they don't constantly run but have button as a marker for "I have to take a bathroom break" and not review that footage unless something happened that requires review during that time period is beyond me.

    What kind of chimpanzee plants evidence, while wearing the camera that will later be used in court?

    As a European, I can only apologise. We clearly did not send our brightest and best all those years ago...

    It's almost certainly complacency on her part. She's probably done this an innumerable amount of times. At first I'm sure she was very careful in covering her tracks. She's just gotten away with it so many times now that she stopped caring about whether or not it was easy to catch her in the act. Probably figured there was very little chance anyone would see the footage. ACAB
