Let me guess. They'll investigate and press charges against someone accused of impersonating a police officer in 5 hours or less, but will take more than 500 days to investigate one of their own impersonating a defense attorney. Absolutely disgusting.
The reason they are allowed to lie is because they work for a corrupt criminal corporation called the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The cops don’t swear an oath to the constitution. They swear an oath to the criminal corporation. Hence, they are granted immunity to prosecution for breaking constitutional laws. The laws of the corporation are based on Maritime law. Our government is a total scam full of pedophile judges and corrupt politicians. Most of them are Freemasons. Trump included. We are on our own. Never let the cops into your house. Don’t ever call 911. They are trained to get you to incriminate yourself on tape. It’s us against them. The government agents are the enemy of the people!!
Police should not be able to police or investigate their own people. 2000+ cases which are taking over 500+ days to start investigating is totally unacceptable.
It’s tricky I have learned as an attorney some DA offices are split between white collar and violent crime. If an accusation is made against one the other side which is not as collegial due to lack of contact takes the case
It's actually against the constitution for the accused to be their own judge in a criminal matter. But the pd does it every day instead of handing the investigation off to another department
You have to ask yourself why would it take 500 days. The only reasonable answers are that they are incompetent or they believe 500 days is long enough for the public to forget about it so that they can let the cop under investigation off easy or totally off without any public backlash.
@@warnmar10 You mean the one that also found that there was a very good reason for the Russia investigation including convicting 13 Whitehouse staffers as well as 11 Russian agents?
I know. When I first found out that the SCOTUS said that cops can lie while interrogating you I found it disgusting. This is how they get people to falsely confess to crimes. They tell you that they have your fingerprints or someone already identified you as the culprit.
@@erikanders3343 that ruling is for civil liability. If you call 911 and police don’t make it in time, and can’t save you, your family can’t sue. Every agency has a policy for cowardice. If they fail to act, they’re getting fired.
@@richvan2128 No they do not get fired. In the cases DeShaney vs. Winnebago and Town of Castle Rock vs. Gonzales, the supreme court has ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection of citizens.

I guarantee you when he got in trouble his fellow officers tried to comfort him like he was a victim, and said things like “they just won’t let us do our job.”
@@kimk2635 should look at the cops in cases to find out how often it happens. Gotta know all the things they do to figure out what’s going on at the ground level.
This officer of the police force must be prosecuted to the full extent of THE LAW. PUT IN JAIL WITH, let’s say $5,000,000.00, all in cash for his bail.
@@williamwhitfield6225 it just depends on this particular issue and in this case it doesn’t make sense. SBI is more appropriate. Knowing the difference between SBI and FBI is important here.
I find it offensive that they get to continue working as a cop while still being investigated for breaking the law. But then given their backlog who knows if there would be police in the streets if they didn't allow them to continue working. So in effect, they are letting potential criminals uphold the law. Sounds stupid on its face but somehow it "works" in the American Judicial System.
It will take them 2,739 years the clear all the misconduct case at there current rate if they don’t get any more. And they wonder why they are not trusted by everyone. I am never moving to Arizona and I may not visit and I have a nephew that I raised living there
They have no intention of moving forward on any of those cases. They will stay open until the heat dies down, the deputy retires or transfers to a new department. _(with a clean slate)_ In the miraculous event they DO conclude the case, the charges will be unfounded.
500hrs and 2,000+ complaints...let's do the math...500x2000=1,000,000hrs ÷ 40hr work week=25,000 weeks ÷ 52 weeks in a year = 480 years. Guess this proves that you can't charge what you can't get to?
I don't know about Arizona, but in most states it is a crime to misrepresent yourself as a lawyer. The DA should file criminal charges if it is a crime in AZ.
Practicing law and saying you’re a lawyer are two different things. Same goes for people impersonating an officer. You can say you’re a cop, but you can’t act as one. This probably isn’t illegal. But definitely unethical.
MCSO has more than 2,000 misconduct cases open, and it takes ~500 days to investigate and close a single case??? My word. That department needs completely disbanded and rebuilt. That's insanely corrupt. Their IA is, in and of itself, corrupt!
In reality most cases and being founded within a few days they prolong the investigation and hopes that people will forget them and they do they just leave them alone figures no need to follow up
This is what happens when the it’s legal for those in the legal system are permitted to lie their asses off. Human nature proves that they will always push the boundaries. And with zero or near zero accountability and consequences this was bound to happen and as it has in the past, will continue to get far far worse.
SO!!! a citizen posing as a police officer will be hammered for impersonating a police officer BUT!!! When a LAW enforcement officer poses as a LAWYER everyone will drag their feet
@@paulwilliams73 no disagreement here. I happen to believe you should be either no matter who you are are what you understand. If your a good person to begin with the chances are 90% you soon will be a tyrant.
Oklahoma's a right to work state good luck with that private union crap. If you've ever wondered where justice is in our justice system is it can be found in Section 5.1 within the Uniform Bonding Code:
Could they also get an operative from a grand jury or regional citizens council to stage themselves & pose as an attorney, as needed? Maybe recruit /order a family member, and stage them as the friendly operative?
"Now dont be ungrateful folks, you've had tip top service so far and we only have the 2000 complaints to deal with. We will be making a start on them in the coming months and hope to have them all seen to in about umm, bare with me a second, 2000 multiply by 500 take the piss carry the one ummm about 200 years and i cant say fairer than that. We really put the serve into protect and serve. Now if someone would like to wake up the Mayor and the Chief of Police we have some bravery awards to present followed by some cake"
I really want to trust the police. I've had a few interactions that were OK, although the word "helpful" would be an exaggeration. But the more I learn, the less I trust, and the more I look on them as dangerous creatures that I should avoid. And I live in a city where the department has received federal attention for corruption and violence.
After a 10 year internal investigation he was given a half hour unpaid suspension and banned of coming within 100 feet of any doughnut shop until next Tuesday.
look like to me there a lot of Miller, just asking all from one family in department with a lot of power , and this is one list just asking ???????????
It may have crossed a line that's recognized by other attorneys but, it may be a line that is gray because police tactics include a ruse or lie in capturing fugitives.
Let's note that deputies are allowed to lie .. and this is what happens, 20 bucks says he gets no warnings and at most he is requested to resign. so he can go and do the same in another place.
Let me guess. They'll investigate and press charges against someone accused of impersonating a police officer in 5 hours or less, but will take more than 500 days to investigate one of their own impersonating a defense attorney. Absolutely disgusting.
So we've gone from "we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing" to "we'll investigate ourselves eventually".
We’re going to clear ourselves anyway so we’re in no rush.
How anyone still has respect for cops is beyond me.

Yup, time for the feds to come in and do those investigations for them
The body cans have helped a lot but we still need to corner these people with more cameras and emails monitoring.
2000 cases 500 days if that doesn’t say corruption idk what does.
The Law applies to us--the poor American ppl--not to the rich or the ppl that protect them from us (the Police).
2000 misconduct cases? Sounds like they need someone else in charge.
Thousands of complaints? 500 days to complete an investigation? Sounds like MCSO needs some Justice Department Oversight.

The eighth amendment prohibits excessive bail. Regardless he will just be reprimanded or taken to civil court.

It's getting harder and harder to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Not really. They wear costumes.
Police shouldn't lie to you in order to investigate, entrapment should be illegal period.
"We've investigated ourselves after 3 years and discovered there was not enough evidence to warrant a response."
Maricopa County police are definitely something else.
Good job Dave! Keep it up! You sure have your work cut out for you. It’s seem never ending.

We have "The Injustice" system!
impersonate a police officer and see what happens the person is fired in jail on the spot
This is unbelievable. Yes they can lie but seriously impersonating a lawyer.
What's the difference?
He's gonna walk away a free man no charges
What do you expect in Arizona , some of the most corrupt cops in the world there.
Government employees from Maricopa should all be investigated, like sheriff Apiaro they don't care about laws.
There’s no law a cop isn’t willing to break when their egos get hurt
Wow. Ths is scary people.

"We punished them.....two weeks off WITH pay.".....normally called a vacation.
And after a expensive investigation (a waste of your taxpayer's money) we find no wrongdoing and this officer is not going to be punished

500 days to complete a case. Don’t take them that long, when a citizen is arrested.
Imagine that. It's almost as if there's a double standard.
Lol they will investigate themselves and find no wrong doing
2000 cases at an average of 500 days to complete, wow. In other words forget about it. Why would it take 500 days?
