Bad Cops

Post by Number6 »

The public hold the police in high regard and we expect them to meet the high standards they must adhere to. However, just like in any other profession there are those who won't hold to the standards of conduct of their profession and the police are not immune from this.

Case in point, 54 current and former California Highway Patrol officers have been indicted for alleged fraud for falsifying their overtime pay costing the state $225,000.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) announced on Thursday charges against 54 current and former California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers he says were involved in a two-year overtime fraud scheme that netted them more than $225,000.

In a press release, Bonta said CHP officers with the East Los Angeles station exaggerated the number of overtime hours they worked, resulting in 302 criminal counts, including charges of grand theft and the presentation of a fraudulent claim.

"During that period, multiple officers in the East Los Angeles station were suspected of recording additional overtime hours when they were assigned to provide protection detail" in maintenance and construction zone details, Bonta's office said.

"For instance, rather than recording the three to four hours actually worked at a detail, an officer would allegedly record and receive pay for eight hours of overtime," investigators continued.
