I love where I live, but have known since 1988 that our sheriff department attracts the wrong kind of personnel. This is the most incredible violation of rights I've ever seen. It will be interesting to see where it all ends up...

Quote:
When San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Murphy responded to a “shots fired” call in April 2008, he decided en route that he was going to make an arrest.

He did far more than that. Murphy and other deputies made an unwarranted entry into a home, and then into a locked gun safe. Murphy's uncensored, darkly disturbing observations and behavior following his Code-3 arrival at the rural home of longtime SLO County resident Matt Hart were picked up by Murphy's and other deputies’ own recorders. Those recordings provide a rare, frighteningly revealing, behind-the-scenes perspective of how one local law enforcement agency views the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and other laws its personnel are sworn to uphold.
In their own words...

It's starting to spread into the gun community...

It seems that far too often that police personnel see individual rights as an impediment to them doing their jobs. They too often decide who is guilty then make the facts fit their preconceived notions. They are not trained this way, and it is not a majority who act this way, but it sure is scary when they do.

The majority of law enforcement officers do an excellent job that goes largely unnoticed but every now and then the Mayberry crew gets caught stepping in it. I try to avoid them at all costs.

And now, this:

FBI director defends bureau over test cheating

WASHINGTON – FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress on Wednesday that he does not know how many of his agents cheated on an important exam on the bureau's policies, an embarrassing revelation that raises questions about whether the FBI knows its own rules for conducting surveillance on Americans.

The Justice Department inspector general is investigating whether hundreds of agents cheated on the test. Some took the open-book test together, violating rules that they take it alone. Others finished the lengthy exam unusually quickly, current and former officials said.

The test was supposed to ensure that FBI agents understand new rules allowing them to conduct surveillance and open files on Americans without evidence of criminal wrongdoing. If agents can't pass that test without cheating, civil liberties groups ask, how can they follow them?

That they would think it necessary to cheat on an open-book test is frightening in itself!

You know, I remember some awefully tough open-book tests. In fact, I recall a teacher once saying they thought the open-book ones were tougher than closed-book tests because material Was available for them, they made the tests trickier or more mind-bending.

aevory LUVs cops!
