Are there any cops or ex-cops on here who have done something corrupt or dirty or maybe just made a little mistake and are willing to admit it. Its just a question. Im not accusing all police of being corrupt but there are plenty out there who are. I just wanna read some stories its a harmless question. Im not on here to start problems

I have never done anything wrong before,during or after I became an officer.

I do not think I ever did anything dirty. I did see things that other cops did that made me very suspicious.
Law Enforcement is an occupation of extremes. I have met the very best people on the planet and the worst and they are cops.
I know cops who if they asked me to I would conduct an assassination for they are so honest. If they said it needed to be done I would know it needed to be done.
I have also known cops who if they told me the sky was blue I would call the National Weather Service to get a confirmation.

I have made plenty of mistakes in life and on the job. I'll own up to any one of them. Mistakes are much different than "corrupt" or "dirty" behavior. I have a good job with good pay. I have no need to utilize shady tactics to accomplish my job. I get paid the same no matter the results. Some officers in the world like to live in the "grey area" and stretch definitions a bit to accomplish their job. The majority of us who practice honest, professional work often drive those unscrupulous officers out of the business.
As for the "prosecutor for 18 years" post about Terry searches. What was the point of that? That you determined whether to file a case based on the threshold of "beyond a reasonable doubt" versus the officers threshold of "probable cause"? Good for you... you did your job. Seems like a training issue more than a mistake or corruption. You can toss all of my cases if you like, from your warm office, if I didn't list the specific and articulable reasons why I believed a subject was armed. If I got the gun before it got me, I went home. Easy to judge, not easy to understand until you have faced danger a few times. Whatever... keep preaching.
Officers make honest mistakes everyday. There is to much that an officer is expected to do any given patrol day. Also, in that day, even the similar occurrences are distinctly different.
I could make something up to amuse you but I can't even conceive of a plausible story as I am usually to busy doing my job by the book.

The Black law enforcement officials' affiliation has WHITE contributors, one among their maximum contributors is WHITE. This exhibits that the BNP do no longer hear to every person, they do no longer even do their very own analyze. The BNP are a comedian tale. They now have an identical regulations simply by fact the Black law enforcement officials' affiliation!!!

The police are the good guys. You are influenced by TV, books and movies to think there are "plenty out there who are...dirty cops."

I've written a couple cites that the offender didn't deserve, but I didn't do it on purpose and I fixed it as soon as I caught the mistake.

I have read any number of police reports where it says, "I approach the suspect and made consensual contact with him. For officer's safety, I patted him down for weapons. I found gun concealed on his person. I arrested him for carrying a concealed firearm."
We would the not file the case, as the search was illegal. Since you have no obligation to talk to a police officer, you can walk away. If he stops and searches you, it is illegal. Terry v. Ohio lets a pat Down to occur where they are articable facts that show a likelihood a crime is about to occur. Other then that, if no probable cause, no search.

That's it, you got me. I was let go after I was caught speeding, and I am sure it had something to do with me being on my way to the police academy.

They will not admit it, or their "only a few rotten apples" image is demystified
