How did an officer making a quarter of a million dollars a year not get attention from the city? This wasn't overlooked, it was ignored.
because the rest of the city is doing the same.....
louisiana politics
I know in just about every other City, OT has to be APPROVED beforehand.
The can't ignore explosives.
It's Louisiana...
@@MrCurtisass Because they are all doing it.
He isn't the only cop out there doing this .
That ant nothing new several year they were stopping drug people some were some were not they would plant drugs on the car they take the car and money they would split the money up they finely caught up with them they had to fire several cops in louisiana
They all do it because they believe they are entitled to it and they believe they are above the law
Thousands of them……
@@jasonlee8497 Facts !!!!!
Zero accountability fact
This is theft. Anyone stealing 500$ would be charged with a Felony.
stealing 500 is a misdemenor lol.
500? Lol i wish. Stealing under 2500 atleast in Texas is a misdemeanor and we are known to be pretty harsh on the law here. This guy however stole thousands and thousands, hes just a criminal with a badge. Theres alot out there.
And given 40yrs in prison.
He was probably allowed to resign and now works somewhere else!
Everyone but the police.
there is no way this happens without 2 or more people cooperating in this. dispatch knows he was not responding to calls during his shifts and the bookkeeper knew he was scheduled for those hours
Exactly, with all the computers and other electronic devices in that cruiser there’s no way someone didn’t put two and two together. Most likely he was sharing the wealth to keep others quiet.
"Administrative leave" so guy gets to sit at home &get paid. Isn't that pretty much what he's accused of being guilty of?
Yep. Sad isn’t it!
EXACTLY!!!! Thief of Service!!!!!!!!
First fire him# 2.make him pay all the $ back.#3 forfiture of percentage of pension,then top it off by some jail time.😰
Was thinking the same
That cop is laughing at his boss on that “administration leave” that corrupt cop is on an extended staycation, what a f###%#g joke, he’s still corrupt making corrupt money at his home, is this justice?
I'm positive the whole deparment has been doing this for years...

Yep... I agree with you there... and there is no doubt in my mind about it.
Typical coproach, earning the hate.
@@PurpleObscuration Coproach. May I steal this? THANK YOU!
Rustin , LA
I worked in a union shop in my twenties, no cameras back then. They used to keep a sheet of names and how how much overtime people were going to claim and have someone punch their time clock who was around at that time. It was rampant…..
So he is a thief and a cheat ?
Fire him. Take his pension and give him a bill for the money he stole.
See that would be justice. But instead the Law will find him under a two week paid suspension while he applies to a different precinct
And arrest, convict and ship his guilty cheating ass off to prison for a long time!
He will make a great Congressman. 😅
In genpop...let's find out how tough he REALLY is...#FTP #ACAB @@blueridgepatriot1356
Working hard to look like hes working hard.
How did a news channel uncover all this but his own Dept didn’t?!?!?!
Exactly. I think the chief is not surprised in the least and he's hoping nobody checked his work attendance.
Cops protect cops. People absolutely know this is going on, they just don’t care. There are no consequences.
That IS the point!
It's a crimanal ENTERPRISE
@@charlesyates6687 All over the country, EVERY dept. SHOULD ALWAYS be investigated EVERY yr !!!
Only a corrupt cop is afraid of being recorded while on-duty.
Next time a cop pulls you over, put your phone on selfie mode and make a video of you and the cop. You should get a decent angle with it sitting on your thigh with a slight lean towards your crotch. They fucking hate that, and you start to wonder why.....
So true
Only if a cop is asleep in their patrol car, is the only time they won't object to being video recorded..
@Dillon Chappell that you can turn off or "corrupt"?
@Dillon Chappell 1st being against policy will not prevent me from being jailed solely on you blue line word. If you can get a vacation instead of charges for turning off your body cam while other people are illegally arrestd, then it's bullshit

Those cars have gps trackers. Dispatch and his supervisors absolutely knew about this and he probably wasn’t the only one.
Of course they knew!
These officers were terminated for getting caught.
They might not a lot of unions have in there contract that they can't have gps in cruisers
Anyone here with a job wondering how a boss doesn’t know his employees aren’t working?
Means the boss isn't working as well...
He doesn't look honest and is probably in on it too.
I'm wondering wtf needs to be investigated? If I was doin this id be fired that day with a lawsuit against me the next
The smell of rotten apples is stifling.
@@Trajan2401
I would bet on that.
This is real news! Thank you for your service to the people. This is some seriously top notch investigative journalism..
Yes but it’s six years old.
I personally questioned why a trooper murdered a girl friend and got away with it. The media refused to report it.
He should be going to jail for fraud. Anyone else who did this would be.
Throw another uniform on him & send him to Afghanistan as a grunt for the next 5 years or until his debt is paid off, "NO" medals allotted for service unless they create one for cheaters!!

How can a man like this be trusted to enforce the law, when he's breaking the law?
Law man,
Because you have an army of Karen and kens with “back the blue” signs on their lawn who excuse every single thing police do by blaming the victims
Just ask any politician.
@William-
Simple answer: You can't.
All cops break the law
The superintendent should be investigate also.. no way he didn't know.
The Farmacy Seeds Network ...he had to know!
Most of those patrol cars have a GPS! So, the chief or whoever was in charge of this piggy bank should also be investigated!
Agreed!
Because they got their cut of his OT money.
@@Rayq007 that's correct!
I have three cousins that we're firemen...two of them spent time almost every day doing carpentry!! They responded to alarms from that work... northeast city... corrupt
He wasn’t the only one. There was definitely a reason they didn’t have a better system to track their hours implemented…
I love how they're all acting so surprised like they don't do it too 😂
They all do it at one time or another. Cops are lazy 😴 love to be home and get paid . Nothing will be done if fired they go to another town get hired felonies and all

Ron Hahahaha Amen!! I totally agree.
Actually if any defending attorney pressed the issue that would happen.
ABSOLUTELY!!! I wouldn't believe any paper work he may have wrote on tickets, arrests, anything
Right, If he lied about this. What else could be false?
AND THE SAME FOR THE ENTIRE STATION.... NO WONDER THE NATION'S FINANCES ARE GOING TITS UP.. MAKE HIM SELL UP HIS HOME AND PAY EVERY UNWORKED HOUR BACK... BECAUSE I'LL BET HE HAS NO MORTGAGE ANYMORE WITH THST KIND OF INCOME
Why does the police department even allow the employees to file their own hours instead of a traditional time card? They can also track the cruisers with gps.
kenneth willits ...word up!
It makes you wonder if everyone that works for the city is in for the “scamming”!
If not...then how much is a punching timing clock & cards cost??? (that they cannot implement).
Exactly. This is 2020, we don’t have to write down our own hours anymore and why anyone would allow that is beyond me. Of course people are going to take advantage that’s just dumb but especially cops, that’s even worse and this guy needs consequences
I wonder. I wonder
You think the police are corrupt or something?
Who do the police actually protect and serve?
I could understand those who work overtime should keep a time sheet/records, however, I believe most are salary, so they really do not fill out time cards. As far as GPS is concerned, that may be necessary for multiple reasons.
Can’t always track the car but you can track the agency issued phone
It would be really interesting to see if the hours submitted by his fellow officers suddenly drops as a result of this investigation. There HAVE to be more cops doing this, and anyone whose claimed hours suddenly dip (for fear of getting caught) should be investigated. Mens rea.
You know the question that runs around in my mind? How much property has he stolen from private People without justification of any kind (though there's never justification for the theft of property badger no badge) and dropped off at his house instead of reporting? I bet if there was a search of his house there'd be all kinds of electronics maybe even some firearms that aren't registered under his name. How much property has he stolen from private individuals and then taken home while on the clock?
The superintendent sound like he doing the same but ain't been caught.
that's one reason he needs to be fired...
I'll assume you just don't know much about police positions: Superintendents don't patrol; it's a desk job. Depending on the governing authority, they typically don't make overtime like this officer anyway.
I think if you got a ticket from this officer you should challenge it in court.
How about immediately charged for theft..anyone else would be arrested
It's the old bullshitt double standard line
This man really living the life out here.
Make his ass homeless.
I'm not shocked. No one is.
4 Real
Most of the sheep don’t even have a clue about the dirt Bazturds
Having ten officers show up for a non-violent arrest is unacceptable enough but this is just egregious! 😠 Good job exposing these corrupt cops, 'VUE! 😃
I've noticed that, too. It is rare to see less than 4 cops show up for anything. It is a bad use of resources. There really needs to be a shake-up of all police units. Between the unnecessary unarmed shootings, the unwarranted violence, the goofing off, & the fear to confront armed criminals, it's ridiculous. Oversight, different training, better screening, less militarization, & more prosecutions of bad cops are all needed.
How does that much overtime not raise a red flag to be investigated. That is ridiculous
Don't do there job,he's like the man said job offices
One word: Corruption.
Right ! If it is going on, how long has it been transpiring ?!?
They all cover for each other, including the brass.
@@joelspringman7748 Each department's (that is in question,) union contract needs to be reviewed. This may assist to provide an explanation to any inquiries regarding overtime pay. If a time sheet/card does not coincide with the contract, and there is discrepancy, then I would definitely question it too, whether it is with the police or anyone else, that is unionized, or submits time records, for that matter.
Conversely, another situation that should be questioned are companies/employers that possibly alter employee time records to cut down on payroll expenses, unbeknownst to the employee.
This is awesome. Keeping the man in check.
Let me guess he retired with his pension.
In Massachusetts the same thing happened with 32 troopers last year. Some making around the same as this dude, currently state courts are trying to strip them of their pensions as they should. They defrauded the public tax payers.
You know does exactly what happened.
Probably chief of police in another area now and makes more money I’m sure!
He got promoted lol
He probably got two pensions. That p.os
It starts at the top. He was taught that behavior.
So true.
All of their bad behavior that they pretend is so out of character is exactly how they are trained. And to play dumb so it doesnt look deliberate.
We all have a moral compass, you can speak up or go down the wrong path. Do the right thing as it's called. I know a military person who spoke up and the FBI nailed a contractor scamming the taxpayer. However, that military person had to resign from the backlash. It might not be an easy task to follow the right path
$250,000 and nobody checked his hours ,why? Because they're all at it
Good theory. But it's still an assumption. However, it sounds very reasonable as an assumption
well they're upset that they did so poorly in k-12 and they still want the pay of people who weren't complete mentally handicapped retards. sorrryyyyyyyyyy oinky retards!
Policing for profit. America's most dangerous gang.
jonnyboy8000 Your dam right there all at it. And cover for each other too. The blame should be on the District Attorneys office this office never charges these jackals.
How did the police department get unlimited budget?
I can't even tell you the countless of times I've seen this as a security guard. I used to guard a large lot, and I would see squad cars just sit in the same spot for hours.
He needs to pay that money back that he stole from us
matt courey he damn sure does! Guarantee he won’t have to, though. Complete BS
Pay it back with a penalty. Triple damages.
My sentiments exactly
Take the % amount he was falsifying per month and bill him for that amount every month for as long he has been working there.
Yes true
Put him in prison like the other criminals.
Put him in prison WITH the other criminals. Bubba don't want you acting like you don't like it.
They ain't gonna do that🤨
This is probably happening everywhere. Also he will recieve a huge pension based off false income.
Not if he gets fired first. But what will probably happen is if he already has 20 years in hell retire before criminal charges are filled. That's what usually happens with these guys.
So proud of you guys for doing the undercover work! We need more journalist like you.
He should be forced to pay all that money back with interest.
I would agree with you on that He owes the tax payers money. If he refuses to pay have leans placed against everything he owns. Than prison for fraud.
that money's long gone
@Yard Sale Dale
Agreed.
And arrested.
just put him in state prison and be done with him
He is a criminal, a thief and should be in prison. Where is he???
On paid vacation.
On the streets in Houma.
He has to be giving kick backs to his superiors. So many years of doing this and being investigated and nothing happening.
Exactly
My father used to work for the state department of corrections in an investigative unit and used to tell me there were 5 people in his office who COMBINED didn't work a 40 hour week.

Great journalism

Most Americans now distrust law enforcement. We feel disrespected, targeted, and threatened. Gee, I wonder why?
There's an even more disconcerting issue that hasn't been addressed, his level of honesty jeopardizes all of his arrests. How can the courts rely on him to be fair and impartial when he is actively committing crimes on a daily basis?

Dave Chivell gardner
Please film more!!
Think about that. The Families of Eric Gardner and Tamir Rice would surely disagree.
*Dave* That's precisely why cops don't want us video-recording them.
That’s not the story people use to tell. I’m going to have to see the beginning of the video and wait for the investigation to be completed. I don’t know what happened, I wasn’t there.
They lie about what happened even when there's video footage!!
They protect each other and serve themselves heaping helpings of our money.
Now, that's no LIE... :) I even heard that one of the politician's mistress was on GOBERMINT's PAYROLL as an EMPLOYEE even though she didn't even live in the state of New Mexico or ever showed up at the politician's office to do work... but apparently local news media found out that she was being paid and still is very HANDSOMELY with tax-payers' money for basically doing NOTHING... lol...

@@bigbenmk4873 Agreed, but not as egregious as this. This is pretty bad. I know for a fact almost everyone does it every now and then. However, tax payers are the ones that pay these people. It's not like they are privatized and they're stealing from a corporation or something. They steal from us.
This is why quotas exist....they only work few days beginning and end of the month!
I would probably agree to some extent but this guy is over the top
And WHO was responsible for checking the time cards?
Cop stays home while getting paid, boss finds out and sends him home with pay.
no one learns a thing

Slap on the wrist, at best. Won't even get a finger wag from the boss
And jail time for committing illegal act.
This looks bad. As others have commented, it is difficult to believe that he acted alone. Suggesting that this is potentially a systemwide practice defrauding the people, and the government. This puts into question, the legitimacy of periodic claims for increased funding. This is a report from almost five years ago. Where’s the update???
Don't let state troopers take their police car home anymore. That would solve it.
The Search For Truth even then they can park in a corner & nap or just eat people always find a way around things

Thank God for investigative reporting. We need the Free Press! Good work done here.
And the amount of his pension is likely tied to how much he”earned” typically his last 5 years of employment. So not only is is defrauding the government while he’s working but the fraud continues after he retires with an inflated pension.
Were was his supervisor? Hes a criminal ALSO.
All the welfare recipients in this video cover for each other. They all do it . Every cop I know think they’re underpaid for putting their lives on line every day bullshit.
August Dinovo that is what I was thinking the entire video. No way someone doesn't know the hours or no audits get carried out.
August Dinovo yep who's guarding the guards 🤔 his boss covered his ass as always fire him too
August Dinovo good point, people have to learn this type of shit from the more experienced that have been doing it before them.
I live here in Louisiana and the state trooper supervisers son was arrested on 4 counts of dui what you think happened to him .........................NOTHING ! all of Louisiana law enforcement is CORRUPT !!!!!
Please let us know what happened if anything happens
These officers should be facing criminal charges. If found guilty they should have to repay the funds and be sentenced to jail as felons.
Freemasons, it won't happen, they will just make it go away.
Patrick Baptist Maybe you should watch the entire video. They have already initiated a criminal fraud investigation. This was only a 7 minute video and you are already lost. Hard to keep your attention, huh? Look, a bunny.
Police officers should not be allowed to take police vehicles home. They should travel to a police station book on with their supervisor and be assigned a vehicle. No officer should have a personal police vehicle it makes timesheet fraud so easy.
I drive a truck and they have goddamn cameras watching us in the vehicle because people were napping on the job and being paid by the hour. They also track us by GPS which most police cars should have now anyway. That pig was billing 20 hrs OT a week that he didn't work. That's about $660 extra a week...34K a year extra based on $22 an hr and $33 at OT. They must be paying him double that to make 200k a year
It shouldn’t matter if they have take home vehicles or not. These new Patrol vehicles have GPS tracking in them. So no excuses from him and his higher staff.
Everyone has something to say about it yet no one in america does a thing about it we just let them keep bending us over when are we going to stand against this ? When are we going to start bringing it to there front door ?
There may still be some sort of tax loophole that "protects" police,etc. from IRS issues that would otherwise cause average citizen to pay extra taxe$ for the benefit of a take home car. One of my friends who worked for a private company had a take home car,and company had to give him a "raise" that he did not see on his net paycheck, just to offset the tax on the benefit of a free ride to and from work daily. IRS position was that it is a personal, not "business" trip to get to and from work.
Effective daily supervision should have prevented the problems that these special programs invite. Essentially,these counties/parishes "hired" state troopers as contractors. The parishes want a higher level of enforcement and also want the monie$ from fines. Could somebody up the chain of command not look at the mileage sheets compared to time sheets? Did the tickets line up with the time and mileage sheets? If he drove less than 40 extra miles above a regular shift while patrolling from home ( or is it "tele-patrolling" ) would it not raise questions? Especially if it was 40 miles each way to the assigned extra parish?
"Payroll fraud"!
It's grand larceny.
Not when the GOBERMINT WORKERS do it... lol...
"Calls for an investigation" what a joke. This is worse than 'entitlement' that we tend to blame other politicians. A Law Maker OR a guardian of Law need to treated the same as a criminal !

@@kneelb4m33k5 fair enough, but how many times do departments conclude there was "no wrong doing" after investigating themselves.

Why would he stop it? This works great on the pension. He knows when "his time" comes he'll get the same deal. Desk cops suddenly start pulling "extra shifts" out on patrol... special assignments... night shifts (with extra pay for working nights)... all kinds of scams. Shifting their days-off to days when they have court appearances so they can claim overtime; they got 4 hours overtime pay per appearance... so they'd have 3-4 cases in one morning AND CLAIM 16 HOURS overtime.

I believe there is a kick back to higher ups.
This is real news! Thank you for your service to the people
He should be fired and should give all that money back!! Damn crooked cop!!! This is another reason people don’t trust cops.
Amen! Amen!
@@alienmoonbasesector4207 Please don't do that. Ppl love you and your life is to good. You have a testimony and you can write a book about it. You research it just make sure you have copy writes so know one can steal your story.

We hate them
This is hilarious! This cop makes all this money and no one seems to know anything about it? Yeah right! LMAO!!! The Superintendent knew it, the payroll and accounting dept. knew about it, all kinds of other employees in different departments would have seen this outrageous payroll amount. How come the IRS didn't red flag this? Way to many others were involved! They should ALL be held accountable!!!!
They ALL knew about it. It's one big blue frat house for those jerks!
I work full time in Law Enforcement for the State Of Arkansas and try my best to get as much time on the clock as I can and I still only make $36,000 a year... WTF
Paranuk Gaming Really, what, wait that's less than 40hr a week at $18.00 an hour? Idk, shapes are hard.
A lot of state police work enough to make this much money, especially in the northern states. The new troopers make about 100k. The ones who get overtime make about 250k. Very lucrative profession.
Go on the NJ and Massachusetts states sites and look up the figures. Everyone in my town badly wanted into the NJ state police. It was an all white town and quotas were really taking hold, so only the very best whites made the cut. I never tried because I didn't think I was macho enough. Tough enough yeah, but not douchy. We had one from our high school make it every class. That was the top career because we all knew it was easy money and respect and the uniforms look amazing. Back then, the 80s they were making around 65k for their first year then 85 their third. Now they are probably into six figures for a first year guy. A few made around 280k last year. They were patrolmen. Check out this article: www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/12/six_nj_state_police_troopers_e.html
Garbage in, garbage out!!
...and you wonder why civilians hate.
Why dont these cars have gps? And someone watching to confirm hours on the road
So he got in trouble for being at home when he was on the clock? And in order to deal with that they just straight up sent him home with pay? So they gave him EXACTLY what he was wanting, to get paid for doing nothing. That'll teach him a real lesson🤦
Bobbi J I see this over and over with cops, for my entire life. What gives?
😂😂😂😂😂
It's like suspending a kid from school for a few days as "punishment" for truancy.
I never did get that.
What is the outcome of the criminal case?
The head of the department was aware of the problem and did nothing definitively about it. They had to wait until it was publically exposed to do something. It shows how officers can easily get away with almost anything.
Administrative leave.....meaning that he was still in that payroll, making more than even his bosses.
on leave can you do the same
Why wouldn't he be immediately fired? The tax payers should demand it, it's their money he's stealing. In any other job, this would be grounds for immediate termination.
he belongs in jail.
Police unions are some of the strongest in the country

CAN SOMEONE START A PROGRAM INVESTIGATING CROOKED COPS SERIES
IT WILL GET TOP RATINGS TRUST ME.
Never will happen... The system will come down on whomever tries such a thing like a ton of bricks.
I am. Except I'm not investigating shit if someone has malleable evidence against an officer I'm just hunting and exterminating them like any one else should do ppl of this caliber. Ain nobody investigate the Nazis. They just out a stop to that shit. Same needed here
Best suggestion ive heard all year.
Its not just the cops it goes all the way up the food chains. Our systems are busted broke no longer work out of order......
I'm unemployed I would like that job..
Fire, prosecute, confiscate his pay in a court of law. Jail him.
Dennis Richardson under the jail. This is unacceptable 😡😡
Seize his house and all his illegally gotten assets like the courts would do to you or me.
You are a fraud Dennis
yes jail him so he can get the lovin he truly deserves
If a State Capitol janitor was doing this, then he'd get jail time. This cop will end up getting paid for another 6 months until he's finally terminated.
next time you need the cops call a state capitol janitor or a an NFL football player!
@@thomjames66
As usual another shitty crappy bullshit answer. A criminal is a criminal you piece of shit.
thomjames66 if you ever need police assistance call this guy.
Yep, he'll be on " paid administrative leave". Wonder if he'll file more fraudulent time sheets for the overtime he " worked". Averaging 80+ hrs a week ? RED FLAG BEHIND THE BLUE LINE.. spotted 7yrs ago, yet was clearly NOT INVESTIGATED ..how much money did this corrupt cop actually steal ?! COULD BE MILLIONS !!! WTF !!!
that comment shows what a piece of shit you are
This is good journalism on the part of the FOX8 NEWS! Good job people👍👍👍
