State of Unrest: Ep. 2 Tickets and Time

Traffic tickets from September 6 of this year show Louisiana State Trooper Daryl Thomas wrote a citation at 10:45 in the morning. But that's not possible - at the time Thomas says he wrote that ticket in St. Charles Parish, our undercover surveillance spotted his car about 40 minutes away, at his Harvey home.

[@JAM661]

Why would they. These trooper do not go into a office to check in so much of is on the honor system. What they need to do is have gps in the cars and making sure these people are actually doing the job. Cameras in the car would also help where soneone can just turn on in headquarters and see the trooper is in the car traveling. But there is something wrong with the police because any cop working 80 hours is not going to get enough rest to be safe on the street. Most deptment have limits on overtime just for this reason. But when you have one party in charge for 70 years you get a nice buddy buddy work set up and everyone covers for each other. The other guy who was in charge of these trooper were like he is such hard worker. Yea right. Obviously there system need to be updated and some of these cops need to spend years in jail and pay the money they stole back.

[@loufeliciano2134]

Because he has a badge.

We have a crappy time clock setup at my job and even it has the ability to allow remote clock in/out and logs where you are when you clock in/out. It also has the ability to only allow clock in/out in specific zones. If my crappy job has a crappy setup that can do all that then I’m certain a taxpayer funded entity can put in place something similar but of higher quality. Plus I’m certain all those vehicles have gps and should be monitored for irregularities.

[@TheClearchoice18]

If anyone else were to try this crap at their job, not only would they be be fired immediately but most likely they'd be facing criminal charges. So how the bleep do these people still have a job? The attitude of the police superintendent makes me believe he condones the criminal acts. Sickening.

Police in all local counties, parishes or incorporated towns are now allowing police to take their vehicles home. You don't have to pay for insurance.

IF SUPERIORS ARE NOTIFYING SUBORDINATES ABOUT BEING INVESTIGATED FOR CRIMES SAYS ONLY ONE THING.....THEY ARE COMPLESANT AND ARE ALLOWING THESE CRIMES. STATES ATTORNEY GENERALS AND I.G.S SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO EVERY STATE IN THE NATION. IF ONE DEPARTMENT IS DOING IT THEN PROBABLY EVERY DEPARTMENT IS DOING THIS TOO.
