LAPD frames a guy on drug charges.

abc7.com: Surprise video exonerates defendant, implicates arresting officers 7/01/08 (http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local&id=6240132)

So here's how it goes:

LAPD finds this guy in his carport, drops a box of drugs at his feet and then says they caught him with drugs. His mom had cameras installed in the carport due to previous thefts, however, and recorded the incident. One officer instructs the others to be creative in their writing, and they say "No problem".

In most cases, the video or other evidence is shown to the prosecutor before it goes to trial, and the charges are dropped and the officers get a slap on the wrist- in this case, the defending attorney waited for trial to produce this evidence.

LAPD, go **** yourself. :)

I am shocked - SHOCKED - that the LAPD would frame someone. I mean, we all know the government is completely infallible and we should be sheeple and just go along with everything they say because they would NEVER screw over an innocent person with nothing to hide right?

[ND4SPD]

what was that thread awhile ago? Someone said they would trust those with authority to not abuse their powers?

:rofl:

[BigBalledOX]

Just plug "gulag" in to the ol' handy-dandy search engine and stick that in your pipe and smoke it. :wiggle:

[deliveryguy]

It's pretty damn saddening knowing that there are people in jail who didn't do squat...and who didn't have awesome moms.

[kustomcougar]

cops dont realize they are not the law, but they are to uphold the law

Just plug "gulag" in to the ol' handy-dandy search engine and stick that in your pipe and smoke it. :wiggle:

ah yes! there we go...:rofl::rofl::rofl: :facepalm:
I immagine you would have to be doing something suspicious beforhand being plucked up...I dont believe our government just picks people randomly and detains them. It would be pointless to try and get information out of people you thought had no information to begin with. So again i immagine you would have to look quite suspicious in the first place. Which i think in the end keeps most of us in the world keeping our noses clean quite safe.

See, this is what pisses me off. As*holes like this that give a bad image to all law enforcement. I like cops - most of the cops that I've encountered have genuinely been interested in legitimate safety concerns. I could probably be in jail 10+ times if it weren't for cops that are thoughtful and...well, considerate. I wave to all the cops around here, and they wave right back. I even got out of my car and had a conversation with an officer that was just chillin outside in the rain to divert traffic around a downed power line. Most cops (in my experience) are nothing like these punk-a*s stereotypical doughnut-stuffing lazing sorry excuses of men. These guys should be imprisoned. But no, they'll get paid to be "punished" and greeted when they come back to perform more childsplay.

[kustomcougar]

yah, unless its something major they get a paid leave of absense, which is literally a paid vacation

[deliveryguy]

Yeah, and this isn't major at all. I mean, it's only proof that these baboons intentionally FORGED a situation for the sake satisfying their corrupt, moral-LESS imaginations. Last time I checked, lying "under oath" or in the court of law is punishable by more than a free vacation. BUT since these baboons have a badge and a gun, they can go get drunk together and harass the young ladies at the bars and then have a drunk race home. I say line 'em up.

[kustomcougar]

ya they just get a slap on the hand and if they video didnt show them doing that, the poor kid would be in jail for a long time, i hope he gets a lawsuit and wins big money because of that

[deliveryguy]

In the words of Peter Griffin, this just grinds my gears. :disgust:

Right, and this is why, despite the fact that plenty of cops are really nice and really good people (My sister is SFPD), you should NEVER let a cop violate your rights as dictated in the Constitution and you should NEVER willingly waive those rights or give them permission to do something they ask to do when they are legally required to ask.

Because even if most of the cops are nice, the one day you run into a cop who is a bad guy, you could end up in jail for the rest of your life, ruined. And that's why those laws were put in the constitution in the first place.

[deliveryguy]

Ah, and this opens more doors for manipulation. A lot of people don't KNOW their rights, so by "cooperating" they screw themselves.

[NorCalCoug]

Yup. They think if a cop asks they are required to say yes.

The answer is no. If the cop asks, he needs permission. Otherwise he would have already done it. You think it's their job to be polite when they think you're a criminal?

[deliveryguy]

I think they often think that it's their job to nail as many crimes as possible...maybe to fill up their personal "quota". Which leads them to performing a little role-playing. Example: My friends (two roomates) got caught with marijuana and some smoking devices. The cops that were waiting outside their door (because of the noise they were making) saw everything and forced them to break it all and hand over their herb. Another official contacted them the day after, offering them two choices and acting like their best friend. Choice one was to get caught with weed and get kicked out of school. Choice two was to work with him and buy weed from a big-shot dealer and essentially frame a kid. They chose choice 2, but choices kept popping up, and they ended up framing several people before the guy layed off. I told them to get some paperwork signed for the deal beforehand, but obviously this guy refused. This may not be the best example, but it goes to show that they DO act as much as they feel necessary...sort of Machiavellian.

Wow, your friends are ****ing douchebags. I'm glad they decided to ruin some other kids' lives because they ****ed up and got caught. CI's FTMFL.

[deliveryguy]

No sh!t. I wouldn't be surprised if they only got a slap on the wrist for their little mishap...to be honest, I was expecting them to get nailed for purchasing all this illegal substance.

[bubby]

Even still, marijuana possession is a misdemeanor. When they set up that guy, they set him up with a felony. It's basically like this:

option 1 (as you said): "Here...take this $25 dollar fine and 6 months probation."
option 2: "Set this guy up and put him away for years."

[deliveryguy]

Yup. I was surprised when they did it. It's not like they debated either...they just jumped right up and said "okay!". :rolleyes:
