That's the problem when a cop is actually "Bad or Dirty", it brings ALL their actions and those of other officers, mostly who are good, as well as their leadership into scrutiny and costs taxpayers a ton of money, and could end up getting bad people released back to the streets.

Happens all the time for all kinds of bs reasons.

Document said their "suspects social media disappeared" after speaking to me otp. Except when I searched it was right there plain to see, and our accnts weren't even associated. Detective actually even admitted to me in that phone call that they knew I wasn't involved thanks to surveillance footage, was right there in the transcript for the judge to see too. My sin you might ask? Requesting a lawyer be present while they question me. Apparently that made me an accessory and a dangerous criminal who needed to be arrested at their job and strip searched in the middle of a mall while families walk by. To make a long story shorter they also confiscated my phone during my arrest later saying they wouldn't give it back till my case was done, tho not before lying yet again and saying they would after getting the data and I gave them my passcode, and then took a lil over a yr to finally drop the charge and give me my stuff back. Paid $1000 for a lawyer that essentially did absolutely nothing too. I was too tired and broke to try and hold ppl accountable. My story is not uncommon.

Thank you Dave for the perseverance, intelligence, and courage so apparent in your work, and thank you ABC15 for the rare institutional courage that brings such injustice to light.

[@t-bonena3609]

Amen to that.

[@dennismatthews1208]

She's suffering from running from accountability

[@Fantazier1]

Oh! I am going to predict they are going to appeal, they will drag this on as long as a find a judge that will allow them to. Those 30 some odd defense attorney's need to pool their resources and get some PI's to watch every move that former lady detective makes.

[@davidwillmore]

They can't do that as it would be seen as witness tampering. The defense has its hands tied. The doctor saying she is disabled is a better target if investigation.

[@colinhall8998]

Absolutely pathetic! She wants jailing for contempt of court, she’s taking the mick out of the judicial system.

[@JasRaymond1]

This is insane, if she can work two jobs then she should have already testified .

[@MattHelmSA]

Then all of the people in jail waiting on her need to be released pending this nonsense being cleared up

[@angelaconley9444]

The badge and the complexion with PROTECTION !!!

[@glennquagmire1747]

Disability claim ? but she working two jobs afterwards so she should be also be charged for FRAUD !!!

[@davef.2329]

Bingo!

[@secretsanta9046]

This is DISGUSTING!! She needs to be charged with her FRAUDULENT claims an PROSECUTED to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW!!!

[@icamalotta4857]

She probably screwed up real bad and they're trying to cover it all up by keeping her out of court and using this thing as an excuse. Otherwise, she would be responsible for having to overturn a bunch of cases and they don't want that the system has to look better than it functions

[@deadhead4206]

She's so far from disabled its sad..SHE got caught up on mishandling her cases.she should be fired not being able to retire..She actually was working other jobs..shes trying to play the system

[@RashaKahn]

If she has to hide from the judge you know it’s got to be bad.

[@marioborkowski5894]

Investigate previous Judge..

[@chrisfoxwell4128]

It's nice to see a news outlet doing something.

[@John-pz6nm]

Dave is a Rock Star Holding the corrupt Phoenix Police Department Accountable. Upholding the victims rights. Never let up. You are the only legitimate reporter doing benefitial work

[@jncstudios156]

This is going to traumatize many survivors. This one person has possibly contaminated every case she ever touched. If she could not do her job properly not only she should have stepped down but her supervisors should be investigated to the dereliction of duties. What a wicked mess this shall be. Supervisors are more at fault. Should've taken action sooner to keep the damage minimal. Not to realize the weaknesses of the employee to do simple tasks is infuriating. Total lack of accountability.

[@ianbattles7290]

If she is well enough to run her own business, she is well enough to come into court and answer simple questions.

[@kimberlycarrigan8824]

Heck, she can do it via zoom

[@judelarkin2883]

I could see her lawyer trying to distance herself from the claim. “I’m only relaying what I’ve been given.” It could turn into trouble for the lawyer too if she is aiding her client to avoid testifying under false pretenses.

[@anndennis7163]

Let's just remember that HIPPA laws give the lawyer the same problem as any of the rest of us when trying to help a relative. The Lawyer has no way of knowing any of her medical information unless she the detective) signs a paper giving her permission and if she has half a brain she won't. So the lawyer has no choice except to take her at her word. (or leave the case)

[@karlrovey]

​@@anndennis7163That also depends on whether or not her medical records are subpoenaed. They're relevant to her ability to testify and would be fair grounds for subpoena. Her doctors could even be ordered to testify.

[@JoeOvercoat]

@@anndennis7163 one doesn’t need medical information to know someone that is posting about how they’re going to get busy at work right after resigning on disability is a fraud

[@markowsley4954]

She either needs to testify or charges dropped against the subjects.

[@HisDudeness2023]

I’m having trouble understanding the legal aspects of this. And all these Cases in question or constitution has the burden of proof to prove guilt is on the state. You also have a right to a speedy trial. Using these two concepts, all of these cases should be dismissed with prejudiced against the state. It’s quite clear. If the damn cop can’t show up, you dismissed the case. It happens every time in court.. This woman is a cop, and should be in jail

[@dannyarriaga5998]

Corruption at its finest.

[@rosemarywalker924]

Everybody is forgetting justice for the people in prison for their day in court. Guilty or innocent Justice should be done and if not should be released .

[@davef.2329]

She couldn't give a hoot nor damn about them, it's all about her.

[@fashiondiva6972]

Little miss failed detective thought she could be an epic screw up with impunity and indeed she gamed the system for over a year to that end. Now she’s going to be forced to face her massive incompetence and explain how she was that stupid and/or corrupt. I suppose the thought of that could indeed cause some anxiety. If that were the trigger that allowed witnesses to avoid testifying, I would never have gotten one on the stand in all my years as a prosecutor. That would’ve been bad since I litigated child abuse and sex crimes. Luckily that’s not how reality functions. Why it took this court a year to figure it out is beyond me because she’s not that gifted of a liar anyway

[@adcolt54]

I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up in a wheelchair and incoherent like those mob bosses in their trials.

[@grim7965]

It is ridiculous how much energy and time and OUR MONEY it takes to hold police accountable.

[@theholymackerel072]

Get her fired, grill her and put the oath-breaker in prison where she BELONGS.

[@toomanydonuts]

GOP led AZ LE protect their fellow GOP LE. They're all crooked even the insurrectionist leader

[@davethat218]

Time to hold all police accountable. AS WE DO ALL CITIZENS! PERIOD !!!!!!!!!

[@leslieedwards1163]

The county attorneys office can issue a subpoena, but it wouldnt help their case. So they would rather stay quiet and protect her. She is now a civilian, issue the subpoena and if she doesnt appear for court then a warrant can be issued for her arrest. She isnt above the law!

[@darrellepickering8433]

Her problems are just starting! Lawsuits big time!

[@mikewhitman578]

Thanks for letting us out of prison

[@darrellepickering8433]

That comment was meant she didn't do her job & that's exactly likely what will happen. Lawyers will be all over this.

[@ronkali5365]

Imagine how many people are serving time because of her. All her cases should be thrown out

[@Adiscretefirm]

If she is getting disability but is working how is that not some kind of fraud?

[@dooluv5769]

U can be disabled and still work. U can't be disabled for hip problems and out there playing basketball for a living. With that being said, she needs to get her arse in court and testify or go to prison

[@karlrovey]

​@dooluv5769 If you're receiving disability payments from the government, you can't work. If you get caught working while on disability, it gets revoked and you will probably be prosecuted for fraud.

[@VoltairsGhostNone]

Every case she has ever been on needs to be looked at. This corrupt cop is getting away with this.
