42 Years in prison will quite likely be reduced to 42 hours of desk-duty with full pay, as that is how disgustingly corrupt police "officers" get "punished" normally. In reality if they do care for the law, this highly criminal uniformed pos should face at least twice 42 years, for "citizens safety".
Yep!!! Tldr: He borrowed $ from another gov't, in lieu of a "big bust", that never came...Other gov't needed theor $ back, or at least something to show for it...Oops!
"Abolish" leaves to much nuance to prevent reoccurance, we need to *REVOKE* qualified immunity and provoke individual liability insurance for LEOs, you know, like how the government did to us with vehicle and medical insurance?

Police chief in livingston tennessee stole 27,000 dollars in cash,and he also stole a lot of drugs.The state auditor didnt charge him,and left it up to city counsel.They didnt do anything,and let him go.He didnt have to pay back the money either.Its state records,so anybody can look it up.Greg etheridge was the p.o.s that did it.What a scumbag.
What if that is all the judge is limited to by law? Judges must also abide by the law, too. If the state legislature sets a bail for a crime at a certain level, judges cannot arbitrarily go above it.
$12.5K for bail on 17 felonies? That's a great deal and leads me to believe that he will be treated preferentially. Not only with the charging of further misdeeds, but with his prosecution and, if warranted, sentencing. E.g. The cop in Glendale, Arizonia that dragged a passenger out of a car and tased him in the groin because the passenger wouldn't provide ID. The cop didn't get jail or probation and only had to pay $115 in court costs. The cop did have to forfeit his peace officer license, but he gets to keep his pension and his disability payout.
They’re minor non violent crimes. That standard for anyone. Bail isn’t a punishment, it’s just a number they decided based on how much of a flight risk you are.
I am shocked anyone is doing something about it. That in itself makes the allegations suspicious. He very well could be getting framed for trying to clean up a corrupt police department. Wich sounds more believable.
6 years on and a Chief?! And 12k bail?! Jesus. What kind of city council is so dim that they would allow this? The pay must be staggeringly low as are the standards for employment.
Also, Acting chief. They probably couldn't get anyone to take the job full time for what they were willing to pay. And this was the only guy already on the payroll willing to take it, because he didn't plan to live on just the paycheck.
Judges, prosecutors and cops work to protect each other. Special prosecutors should always be appointed when any of the three are charged. What happened to higher standards when none of them are ever held accountable.

17 felony charges and is bond is 12 k. Houston we have a problem. Looks like the hole town may be on the take. The judge thinks everything is just fine.
meh In Indiana, a Level 6 felony is the least serious felony offense. The maximum sentence for a Level 6 felony is 2.5 years in county jail and a fine of up to $10,000 .
Not the point, at all!!! The fact is, two "justice systems", co-exist; One mock system for them, and another for everyone else!!! The onlt ime a cop will receive a normal sentence is when their crimes are too reprehensible to ignore...
If the chief was that bad, I’m sure his deputies were also fabricating time cards and running a corrupt department together. Their other money making hustles like writing traffic citations should be investigated as well. If he was that bold, all his buddies at work were in on it too. He should be fired and whole department overhauled.
As one that's been aware of corruption within law enforcement, it's nice to see some brought to light... be even better to see actual justice served. So many know & have known of this type of corruption, as there is a long standing joke regarding fulfilling gov contracts (for instance: the joke of 5 road crew guys standing around for hrs watching 1 guy work= fraud of lesser severity; cops using state issued equipment, vehicle, & status to provide security for private business... It goes on & on, many of us witness this fraud & corruption on the daily and just accept it as the norm) it's surprising to see something actually being done.
I said something about that in the comments of another vid and somebody was like "company car". That just doesn't sound right when it's taxpayer money.
I agree. It looks to me like this guy is getting framed. He was probably trying to clean up this corrupt police department. If he was actually doing these things nobody would have ever said a thing.

How do such people get positions of such power? These types of things don't just happen spontaneously and it is the culture and environment of Law Enforcement that they are above the law and the law does not apply to them. Since nearly all officers have this type of mentality the cover ups and criminal obstruction to hold these men and women accountable is a continuous uphill battle. Law Enforcement is the only position I know of where you don't even have to know your job: most officers know nothing of the laws and statutes they must uphold let alone any of the constitutional privileges afforded to all. It is disgusting to think these people can kill another person with little to no consequence.
This is hysterical, an 18 year old field reporter reporting on a 19 year old police chief. :) I have to say, great job by the Indiana State Police. Can you imagine what this guy might have gotten away with had they not caught him now???? BTW, that was light sarcasm on the youthful looks of both the reporter and the chief.
As far as cameras in the court room go, it is all public record and should not be dis-allowed, in matter of fact there should be a live stream on the internet for every courtroom proceeding no matter how small or large subject matter.
I got pulled over once and the officer saw an ounce of weed sitting on the seat next to me that I forgot to hide. He told me if I pay $1000 fine right now to him that that would take care of my obligation to the court. I paid the fine and drove off minus the weed.
Abolish qualified immunity and also sue the police Union instead of charging tax paying citizens that are being violated by these corrupt individuals who chose to uphold and walk the blue line, being a police officer is a choice it's a job and when you choose to violate your oath to protect and serve the people whose tax dollars pay you should be heard loud and clear not some Union and politicians who's self-interest is to cover up more dirt that has been done in this Department because i guarantee you he's not the only one!
Wow, he got a jury trial real fast. Let that be 1 of us Peasants doing something like this . We would sit in the cell for years before we even get a trial. And the bond , again a citizen does this 1.5 million bond if any.
The right to a speedy trial tends to be waived by defendants, via their attorney's advice. If you do not waive it, the prosecution has to be prepared to move forward in the timeframe specified by statute in your particular jurisdiction. I fully agree that the bond in the case is low though. And that most likely does indicate some preferential treatment, imo.

How does ANYONE become a police chief in only 6 years of being an officer?
Easy. As long as he fulfilled the list of his superior.
Go to every meeting and pay your dues at the lodge. Easy
Nobody else wanted this position

The average police officer's career is less than 2 years. A cop with 6 years experience is an OG.

Law Enforcement is the only position I know of where you don't even have to know your job: most officers know nothing of the laws and statutes they must uphold let alone any of the constitutional privileges afforded to all. It is disgusting to think these people can kill another person with little to no consequence.
Screw that bond should be 1mil.
This is just unbelievable, selling your services for money. A classic case of of "AMERICAN GREED"
Only 17?? This guy is a Saint of a Cop
This is getting ridiculous !
This is hysterical, an 18 year old field reporter reporting on a 19 year old police chief. :) I have to say, great job by the Indiana State Police. Can you imagine what this guy might have gotten away with had they not caught him now???? BTW, that was light sarcasm on the youthful looks of both the reporter and the chief.
They need to investigate ALL of his cases!!
he a cop...sounds about right
He looks like a criminal.
As far as cameras in the court room go, it is all public record and should not be dis-allowed, in matter of fact there should be a live stream on the internet for every courtroom proceeding no matter how small or large subject matter.
I got pulled over once and the officer saw an ounce of weed sitting on the seat next to me that I forgot to hide. He told me if I pay $1000 fine right now to him that that would take care of my obligation to the court. I paid the fine and drove off minus the weed.
Make Accountability Great Again!
The hole department is corrupt for not bringing this to the mayor's attention
If they were to investigate every cop 98% of them would be I jail 😒😒
Source?
@@shindrithargriethrat8408ya he's lying. It's 100%
A fish stinks from the head down. A serious investigation of the entire department is sorely needed.
All of them are like this and we the people need to stop this because only we can.
If you or I did something like this would they kick the news crew out of the courtroom?
It looks like the "Thin Blue Line" is very crooked in some spots.
Charge him with treason.
Perhaps he is a relative of the Hoover that had tight control and did the same thing with the FBI. Power corrupts!
Sincerely hope justice is served!
Abolish qualified immunity and also sue the police Union instead of charging tax paying citizens that are being violated by these corrupt individuals who chose to uphold and walk the blue line, being a police officer is a choice it's a job and when you choose to violate your oath to protect and serve the people whose tax dollars pay you should be heard loud and clear not some Union and politicians who's self-interest is to cover up more dirt that has been done in this Department because i guarantee you he's not the only one!
Wow, he got a jury trial real fast. Let that be 1 of us Peasants doing something like this . We would sit in the cell for years before we even get a trial. And the bond , again a citizen does this 1.5 million bond if any.
The right to a speedy trial tends to be waived by defendants, via their attorney's advice. If you do not waive it, the prosecution has to be prepared to move forward in the timeframe specified by statute in your particular jurisdiction.
I fully agree that the bond in the case is low though. And that most likely does indicate some preferential treatment, imo.
Bond at $12, 500 what does that already tells US???
