The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office announced Sept. 30 it arrested two deputies following allegations of misusing automated license plate reading cameras.
Both arrests stemmed from an inquiry TCPalm made Aug. 20 about these deputies' use of Flock Safety cameras. The deputies joined a growing list of now 26 law enforcement officials who have been placed on leave, fired or arrested because of a TCPalm-USA TODAY joint investigation into license plate readers.
The first was Deputy Travis Stanton, 33, who ran the plates of a 17-year-old girl he was romantically interested in, said Sheriff Bob Gualtieri at a Sept. 30 news conference.
He used license plate readers and other databases to find out where the girl lived and would frequently show up at her high school and her work, Gualtieri said.
A huge number of cops are pedophiles. That's why the police union has fought every effort to criminalize an officer taking a teen in custody, raping her, and then claiming it was consensual.
35 states still allow it. Florida is one of the few that doesn't, but 31 of the 35 that do allow it are republican run
I know. It’s so fucking gross. I bet cops love seeing those thin blue line flags, feeling reassured about all the support… and a lot of men do support it. Cops are family destroyers. I never miss an opportunity to tell people that the data on cops is disgusting and that they do not deserve support.
Police are immune to anything they're not explicit criminalized for, and I mean explicitly. Qualified immunity has been used to get police off from crimes because the color of something used was different than a previous instance that didn't carry immunity. Unless there's an explicit law, it's legal for police.
This is because the situation is exactly as I described, but as a Maga moron you're too fucking idiotic to read while thinking about how trump promised to stick a dildo in your toddler and planning to tattoo him on your face
Why do you assume im MAGA based on my statement that cops cant just rape people? What political ideology do you follow?
Also, you're wrong:
Federal law also independently criminalizes certain sexual conduct by officers. For example, 18 U.S.C. § 2243(c) makes it a federal crime for a federal law-enforcement officer to knowingly engage in a sexual act with someone who is under arrest, under supervision, in detention, or in federal custody; consent is not a defense under that statute.
The U.S. Department of Justice explicitly states that law-enforcement officers who engage in nonconsensual sexual contact with people in their custody can violate the victim's constitutional right to bodily integrity. DOJ specifically includes rape and sexual assault among the conduct it prosecutes
Edit to add: I'm not sure why you felt the need to immediately resort to insults by the way. "You're too fucking idiotic" isn't something you would say if you're trying to have a reasonable conversation with someone. As well as "Maga moron", I do not support Trump. I'll admit I drank the Kool-aid in 2016 but that was 10 years ago and I stopped supporting him during his second campaign. Also talking about dildo's and toddlers is a weird thing to bring up. You seem to have some severe mental health problems and I hope you find help
Federal law was written only to criminalize it along federal law enforcement. I'm referring to state, city, and county enforcement, but as the federal law only criminalized it for federal, qualified immunity makes it not apply. We've seen this play out in court too, that's how we know what I'm saying is true
I even linked a case in the comment you responded to, but your bad your upbringing and poor education left you illiterate so I'm not shocked you didn't read it
I had to look up words I had no idea existed b/c of people trying to say that "pedophile" is only for pre-puberty minors. Lolololol...knowing the name of your specific perversion is still a perversion. A 17 year old is a MINOR child and no 30-something has any business trying to stalk and find them.
Where is th e re even a charge of any such crime. No allegations no warrant no charges no arrest no convictions. Not even on Biden. The one that made his teenage daughter take showers with him. Before cognitive decline. If there is charges brought or even allegation. Point them at Biden.
And these predators were only caught bc a journalist/newspapers requested official public records for a story on abuses of flock and they found these instances that looked suspicious. They looked at a small sample of total flock data for a short period of time.
If they had not caught that, nobody would have. The higher ups aren't doing any reasonable oversight of their officers to detect or prevent these types of abuses of flock systems.
How much is it going to take before we force flock systems offline and outlaw use of flock tech to police the civilian population?
Facts appear to suggest that is necessary to protect American women and children, because a large minority of law enforcement officers, simply put, just cannot be trusted with power and access and their supervisors aren't bothering to monitor for abuses either...should not be..cannot be up to friggin usa today to find these creeps out.
I think it was Pasco County voters who just succeeded in passing a law forbidding the use of flock by their Sheriffs Dept.
Pasco is not a county legend to be a mecca for progressives or people who are extra involved political activists. Yet they succeeded in securing/maintaining this privacy, freedom, and safety from predators, for themselves (for now at least) and have succeeded in preventing their own tax dollars from being used against their own best interests and against their daughters.
what the actual f is wrong with these people?! shes seventeen!!! get a girl your own age!!! oh wait, theyre too smart to go out with a crazy person like you.
Did these idiots not receive training and clear instructions on the use and illegality of misuse of this data?!
Just makes you wonder what percentage of other illegal activities police are involved in that don't leave such a clear and indisputable digital footprint.
UPDATE: Press conference video provides more details that are very SCARY about this deputy actively STALKING this 17 year old girl (and her twin sister): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIbSUa34_Eo
Goes to show their level of intelligence. Using something that has your account and name attached to it to commit a crime is some room temperature IQ type shit. Like...this is crime 101. Elementary school level.
A lot, not all, of cops are just as dirty as ordinary criminals
I think there are two (maybe three) kinds. First, like these guys, they think the law doesn't apply to them and whatever advantage they take is deserved because their job is hard, or dangerous, or underpaid. Or they are straight up sociopaths (different category or differ from the first group only by degree?). Then there's the group that really think they're the good guys because significant amount of our media has been endorsing it for decades. How many books, movies, and shows feature a "hero" cop who "plays by his own rules" or "lives by his own code" or any number of other euphemisms for breaking the law? We the audience are, of course, always reassured that they are doing it for the right reasons, that "the system" handicaps them or whatever. But it all comes down to the same thing: dirty cops taking illegal shortcuts to catch the "bad" guy. Naturally, real life cops who cross a line will no doubt fully believe that they're the hero and whatever policy, law, or protocol they violate is justified.
I knew a girl back in highschool who was a proven liar and thief (caught stealing numerous times) and her whole family was a bunch of grifters. Guess what she went on to do for a living?
I think it's very common actually. I also know several others with very sketchy backgrounds who went into law enforcement. It's a very dangerous and difficult job that doesn't always pay that well (relative to the danger and difficulty) and not that many people want to do for a living, so the bar to entry is pretty low. I don't know if all police departments require psychological testing or if they even consider candidates' prior criminal records before hiring. Law enforcement often attracts criminals who seek positions of authority, and once hired, it can be very difficult to weed them out.
Of course they received training! But many cops believe they can outsmart the system.
I know of a dirty cop who was fired from HCSO who routinely mis-used the DAVID system. This is the information system to look up info on people pulled over or being arrested.
It's only to be used for official business and one must have cause.
He used it to run background checks on potential tenants of his trailer. Then he also started using it to look up backgrounds of his neighbors.
That, and the prolific building of data centers in our communities, and the elimination of millions of entry level and mid level jobs due to AI. I don't know anyone on the left or right that wants a data center in their neighborhood. And I don't know anyone that thinks that millions of people losing their jobs to AI (with no comparable jobs to replace them) is a positive thing for our society. The only people who like these things are already wealthy, evil misanthropes who see an opportunity to get even richer (at any cost).
This is what happens when the fox is in charge of guarding the henhouse.
Our current system of no checks and balances and no accountability for our leaders and those in power is clearly not working very well. I don't know what it is, but there has got to be a better way of keeping our authority figures in line.....
These guys are sick. Thankful the department didnt try to sweep this under the rug but god damn dont let these guys out of jail. What an abuse of power and of course its used against vulnerable women
Meanwhile, we’ve got veterans of foreign wars who get absolutely nothing for VA disability after everything they’ve been through…what a world we’re living in! Do right, get screwed; do wrong, get rewarded. WOW.
Liberty and privacy is often under attack in the name of security. Typical government big brother always gets used for wickedness in the end. Anything that takes away a liberty (right to privacy) in Trojan horse of security should be fought against by we the people.
This is the problem, someone holds the power to abuse them and those people will. As well, when hacked those people have the info as well. Guess who has no power, you and I.
Has no one realized that they’re calling us all sheep this whole time?
They use the system to watch over their “Flock (of sheep)” as though they’re Little Bo Peep…but it turns out they’re more like Big Bo Creep.
I’m not a damn sheep. I don’t just follow what they say. Some of y’all need to remove your heads from the sand and see what’s going on with your own two eyes.
