Phoenix sued for not turning over records between officials, police union 

Just think about it you have to file a lawsuits to force law enforcement to follow the law

Corruption can never prevent corruption. Bad cops can never uphold the law.

Please keep the pressure on these sovereign citizen cops that will not be held accountable!

If wrongdoing happens, be accountable and not a bigot and coward! No wonder that afternoon press conference showed anger towards DOJ for making their investigation public. Those that don’t want things to come to light are doing something in the dark. Shine the light on them !

It’s about power over the people.

There should ALWAYS be a presumption of extreme corruption in the absence of transparency.

Do we detect the Fraternal Oder of Police?

Withholding public records is absolute proof positive that you are dealing with a criminal organization under the guise of law enforcement. You have to deal with the Phoenix police like you do with any other felons.... Threats and prison time.

PPD deserves every second of the DOJ oversight! Open Records Act etc. all well established laws. 6 months to shrug their well padded shoulders, give him a Kleenex 😷

Thanks Dave

You rock Dave

highlighter noises sound like sniffles lol

The city is undoubtedly worried about lawsuits, and they should be. The DOJ has the cases and if the DOJ believes violations occurred, that would bolster people that were wronged to sue. While many cities have insurance that pays liability in lawsuits, like all insurance, there are deductibles that the city (meaning the taxpayers) pay. Also, there are caps to how much they will pay out per incident.

All News Organization in the area should join that lawsuit.

Thank you, dave ❤

When are the people of AZ going to demand better government and accountability?

This is not unusual in law enforcement at any level, even a judge to lie,. Some state police do not have body cameras, and I can assure you that is troubling because it’s your word against them and who is the court going to believe? People lie, they make mistakes they see things differently and two people 30 feet apart can see an incident in a different way.. Police officers lie, defendants lie, but the video from the body camera or an iPhone for example and don’t forget ring doorbell, cameras, and surveillance video from businesses always tell a different story. The only thing they can do is withhold public information hoping you will go away. Amazingly eyewitness, a magistrates hearing where a man was charged with disorderly conduct and fighting with first responders. The state police claimed they had in car video and audio of the incident. I observed them completely ignoring the charges because they weren’t approvable and they were lying and they didn’t bring the dash cam video they claimed they had them. The magistrate had to explain to them, the Pennsylvania constitution and the constitution of the United States and what the first amendment means.

Law enforcement breaking the law

This police department has gone rogue.

Great work Dave/15!!
