Cop Realized He Got Caught Stealing on Crime Scene

- This is South Carolina’s Highway Patrol Trooper James Cameron, an award-winning trooper for his DUI arrests in 2015 and 2019, but in about 25 minutes you’ll either be questioning his innocence or guilt. What started as a simple arrest in 2021 led to his reckoning as nearly $3,000 went missing from the evidence. In this video, we’re taking you through the case of State Trooper James Welch and together we can decide whether he was in the right or not.
When any police agency can seize cash whether it is legitimate or not, how in the world do they not have money counting machines?
You'd think they would, im sure some police departments do have them but they should always be done in special areas with large amounts of money like this. Also why body cameras are important, and should always be filming
The ones that don’t have money counting machines usually would just pocket the money but body cameras and dashboard cameras are changing that.
The days of criminals with badges are coming to an end.
Technology is making sure of that.
That would require the mental capacity to learn how to use it. You can't beat the correct amount out of a money counting machine.
Considering how much money they steal from non criminals you would think instead of buying LARPing gear they would invest in their racket.
Usually you’d weigh that amount on a scale
Remember: it wasn't the first time they stole money, it was the first time they got caught.
You know, I'd laugh myself to pieces if it came to light that no money was stolen and all 4 of these buffoons were just really tired and counted wrong!
you base that claim on what? sheer speculation. there is zero evidence suggesting they stole anything. its way more likely they were being lazy
Most likely
@@ghostbirdlaryEXACTLY THAT'S FACTS ON TOP OF FACTS 💯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Show us your undoubtedly exhaustive and thorough investigation of this fact please.
They took all that money from the suspect and act like it's theirs.. the system is so dirty I it's sickening
the drug dealers are sickening
They?
@@wannabetrucker7475 At least they're honest about being criminals, unlike thieving cops.
I don't know about you, but when I think money is mine, I don't send it to the feds.
@@wannabetrucker7475
Sending the money to the Federal Government is sickening. It's not like they are doing their jobs.
I’m still shocked that seized money goes to the federal government. Can you imagine all the money they get from seizures a year??
Just my opinion... but I would rather see the cops get the cash than the dope dealers or the feds... 🤷♀️
@@bambadalam91 the dope dealers are the cops themselves lmfao
@@bambadalam91 cops getting cash did exist, and got removed.
Because incentivizing cops with cash rewards for seizures... i mean you know how that end when you think about it for a bit :P
It goes to the Feds so the Cops can say that they don't have it when poeple try to get it back.
All cops are masons, they work for the corporation that owns you all.
Remember, the state can rob you but you cant rob the state
Tell that to my rebellious“loitering”
of course, you can rob the state by dying and having no money left, and owing taxes to the state
You are right
I got this, Hold my taxes.
@grapefruitsimmons - that was the most based statement
A crooked cop is the most despicable type of criminal
Agreed 💯
Crooked politician even worse!
Unfortunately, most seasoned coppers have been dirty at one point or another. Just think of how bad it was prior to body cams and true accountability. It's sickening!
Prolly think rapists murderers and child molesters are worse but you do you
its also the most common type of cop
I'm confused as to how this can be viewed as a lose for these guys. They got to pocket thousands of dollars and still keep their jobs AND be given backpay for the time they were suspended! Police can do no wrong. The only person paying any price in the end is the guy that was pulled over because he now owes that money back plus whatever jail time he serves. Gotta love corruption and favoritism!
Well, if he didnt carry stuff for drug sellers, he wouldnt be in that situation. There could have been a lot more than the cops found if he himself dipped in the bags of money.
he won’t owe the $$$. Loss from confiscation/seizure is factored into projected profits. For all we know, Holiday was sent as the decoy, purposely driving drunk while smoking weed, to keep law enforcement occupied so the REAL haul of millions in cash and product can sneak by
@@ianallen2he’s not talking about the criminal he’s talking about the police.
@@Toastedlabs1 I know. But he could have dipped in the bag for a hand full of cash and took it home before he carried on driving.
@Ian P A Calm down champ. Everyone in this video is a criminal, so... I'm not advocating for breaking the law. You missed the point entirely, I guess. 🤷♀️
I hate thieves.....but.....a thief with a badge is beyond deplorable.
Me too! Well said.
Character is who you are when nobody's watching.
Absolutely agree, no excuse for it. None.

He would of been better off not turning that 800 in 😂 He panicked and thought he could get out of it. Another thing at least when I stole as a young man I had a drug problem. What's his excuse?
True but the officer was stealing from a thief himself let’s be honest theirs worse things lol
Cops always ask why we forget but yet it’s ok for them to say lol
I worked in a bank for 35 years , and the way that officer described how they counted the cash was beyond inept. I am shocked that they got two totals that matched. I would go with the total that the bank got as accurate.
right! These are the equal of simpleton morons counting money into the hundreds of thousands. How dumb
I've volunteered at charity counts counting charity collection tins (Poppy Appeal in the UK). The systems we had in place there were way better than the absolute mess these police officers were doing.
Well, he's not working in a bank, tbf!
They're not bankers, they're cops. Would probably explain why their method is so inefficient.
It's BS that authorities can touch your cash.....No matter how much it is!
For the life of me I can't figure out why the police think they have the right to seize any money that you may have. You don't even have to be arrested for them to confiscate any large sum of money you may have on you.
So they do or don't have the right? First you imply they don't then you say they do
@@Eric-be6yv Read his sentence again.
Yes technically because they found a big amout of marijuana in the car.
The driver also admits the money is not his and that means the money is most likely illegally made drug money and that means they can take it. But if the money was his then the cops would have followed their inventory of the vehicle procedure and the driver would get their money back eventually.
@@amandafight7627 look up Stephen Lara vs the Nevada Highway Patrol and Stephen Lara vs the DEA
@@amandafight7627eventually after they give half to a lawyer
Let's not forget that there was no crime to take that money on the first place
Except he said it wasn't his cash and there were drugs in the car
Imagine ruining your career for like half a paycheck….
Edit: hah nvm still employed as a cop 🙄
They can't change the hiring policies to not hire the dumb, corrupt and unfit individuals, more than the half would be gone immediately...
He’s stolen thousands upon thousands over the years I have no doubt
And? It’s just going to go line the governments pockets so fck them. They take enough of our money.
Definitely. And if it's true that he didn't lose his job over this then you can bet the whole police force is dirty.
Cops don’t make much. I’m not a fan. I hate cops. But I won’t lie and say they make bank. They just took the job because of a God complex and they want to bully people.
i used to be a manager at a busy valet parking company, in which capacity i was responsible for counting out crumpled up cash - often thousands of dollars of it - on a daily basis, often while standing on a sidewalk in the middle of the night. it was extremely rare that I'd miscount, and when i did i was never off by more than a single bill - it would be essentially impossible for multiple adults sitting at well-lit tables to miscount or "misplace" 100+ twenties.
I met a Highway Patrol officer one time. Several of us were invited to his home. It was a very nice home on several acres of land. In the back yard he had a garage with riding lawn mowers, a boat motor and trailor. He had many hand guns, rifles, expensive scopes, and shotguns. He had all of the toys every man dreams of. How did he afford all of this on a Troopers salary? I never found out.
Credit.
@@moongoddess8568 I give very little credit to police
@@aurorethebore not the type of credit I was referring to.
@@moongoddess8568 I know. But I still don’t think it’s a good idea to give credit of any kind to thieves.
old money, second business, good investments, frugal living in other areas, like there are loads of reasonable explanations that OMG ALL COPS CORRUPT!!!!1!1!!!
I hate that money can be confiscated without due process
I hate that the feds get to keep confiscated drug money. The only way for it to be fair is if the confiscated drug money is destroyed. That wealth should be destroyed so that it benefits nobody. Them keeping it just incentivizes all the corruption we suffer from. The DEA is notorious for this. Their funding comes from drug proceeds and it's evil.
That's the only way you do it when you are a member of a thieving organization that has a license to cheat, steal,
rob, and even kill with total impunity!!
That’s what I keep telling my wife when she confiscates mine.
@@redghost3170 Wife bad hahaha 😂
@@Reinforce_Zwei Police can seize any money they want through civil asset forfeiture. If you have cash to go buy a car and get pulled over they can take it, and it will cost you just as much in lawyer fees to try to prove it was legitimate that you will lose the money anyway, and police know this.
They were busy splitting a big portion of the real amount among themselves and so mistakes were made. The guy they arrested said that he had no idea how much cash it was. The cops thought they had hit the jackpot. The exact amount was unknown and because it was dirty drug money, nobody was going to claim it.
Looked like a lot more than $110k in the photos.
@@JoeBlow-fp5ng many were single dollars
@@JoeBlow-fp5ng 110K was just the 20$ bills, wasnt it ?
@@ianallen2i believe i heard $86,420 in $20 bills
Then why not take it all? They have drugs, so the arrest is good. If they planned to take money, why not take it all and just not mention cash?
Once again, if you want to be a crook with no repercussions, become a cop.
Happens all the time. I had $2300+, got stopped, the vehicle I was driving had no insurance which I didnt know. I did know how much $ I had but the cops said I had $1600. Not only did they keep the $, they tried to use civil forfeiture to keep the vehicle. The owner eventually got his truck back. It would have cost me more to hire an attorney to get the $ back than what they stole.
That is wild!

That is so wild. I can't believe what a bunch of crooks the cops have become
I have heard of this issue happening before on another documentary.
@@thosediamonddreams What is acab?
Insane. I live in SC and my mother is a retired officer, never even heard of this. Thanks for always bringing us new stuff!
Why do you think you would hear about it when it's the police is kept in-house they do their own investigation, lol.
That's probably internal affairs there talking to at this moment, but when it comes to the discipline and you got these police unions and all these other people to fight to get these guys off the job in specially the good old boys thing.

It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and five minutes to destroy it!
That's the way it SHOULD be but it isn't. They all keep their jobs no rep lost people who work beside them still have to work beside them if they like it or not. Reputation means literally nothing here.
Or a banker to lie ....
@@gene8675 Way to absolve these crooked cops. The bank obviously didn't lie since the one crooked cop admitted that a bag of money was still in his car. Which was a lie to cover up that he stole it. Don't try to blame the bank .
@@donihilism1394yeah, but imagine keeping a job where you know coworkers and outsiders still give you the side eye of distrust. There’s your dignity and honor.
Usually it more of a lifetime than five minutes. It wasn’t his first time stealing.
All seized money should immediately go into public schooling
No they already rob us
Why not everyone has an interest in school. We pay taxes now as it is and it goes to school.
They would just hire more administrators, not help the kids
fat chance
A civil forfeiture has to be filed in circuit court. Unfortunately, the statue requires that the money go to the law enforcement agency. It was meant to be applied to the big dealers who had millions & were able to keep their fortunes even after conviction. But agencies started applying it to too many cases & it creates messes in many states. No doubt if the money went to the local schools there would be less incentive to stretch the law
Gov only cares that the officer stole from them, not that they stole in general.
This is the biggest fact of them all
Not true at all. You can file any complaint against any officer.
@@strongfoot2009🤨🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ - who’s going to complain - the guy in jail
Man....tens of thousands of dollars routinely go through my hands at my work and i will bet my life that i'm paid quite less than a State Trooper.
When dealing with money at your job/profession...after you do it 2-3 times; the money seems to lose it's monetary value (from your perspective)...it becomes just another object at work you have to deal with.
The fact that this officer is still enticed by money after years at his job AND is a proven thief....i will bet that there are many people this man has robbed from and has just gone under the radar.
Agreed!
Sound like a banker lol lost the feeling wanting tens of thousands of dollars
Same.
After bartending for 20+ years, counting money was one more thing u had to do before I could go home 😂
I agree with you. I was a property manager at age 19. I was responsible for collecting rent, often in cash, from 198 to 214 units. Later, I entered the medical field and worked several departments in private practice, assisting the doctors. Eventually, I transitioned to dermatology and cosmetics and both assisted the doctor and collected payment. Never was I tempted to steal money.
I bet you aren't risking your life everyday and dealing with scum bags either, And since when did people start simping over criminals losing money? It's not their money anyways, maybe when someone loses a loved one from fent. they won't be so concerned about a dealer losing some money.
The difference between CRIME and punishment 😢😡...
He thought he was going to get away with it. He knew exactly 💯 what he did.
When I was 18 a cop pulled me over for no reason, he searched me and my car and found nothing. He took my wallet out of my pants in the beginning of the search and gave it back to me at the end of the search and all my money was gone. Then he made me walk home. For no reason
I hope he gets robbed of everything he owns in life, including the underwear he's wearing. I hope he has that karma happening to him everyday for the rest of his existing life.
Can confirm. I was the cop
@@sn4831 I believe you.

@@southerncross3638 It’s disgusting!

Well realistically there's no way to prove any money was actually missing. If they had a bad count then that's it. Doesn't mean anybody took any money. If you want to take money, you take it before the count simple and you certainly take more than $3,000
So let me get this straight, The guy that “found the bag of money” that he didn’t tell anyone about for 3 days. He failed a polygraph test (twice). And wiped his cell phone to “get a few numbers off it”. He shoulda been told to bring it in the way it is and do not remove anything. But with all the corruption I see around the country by police this is not bad compared to most.
I just think they could not prove it.. Its easy to say for us but if this was going to court the 'stealer' would have won and maybe got an even bigger pay out and kept his job.
@@Sheppard3rdThat’s ridiculous.
The number of people who have either been fired, arrested or even convicted on less than this is lengthy.
He had possession, didn’t comply and it’s indicated that he knowingly did so. If they wanted him gone, he’d have been.
What incriminating evidence would be on his phone? Real question. Hope it’s not a silly one.
I hope the department or the people involved got to pay the money back with interest and then pay then I hope it put them at the bottom of the next tax bracket for that year 🤣🤣
the polygraph test means nothing to me. being nervous makes you fail and he was worried about losing his job hes been in for 11 years
The way I smiled so hard when Welsh said "Lieutenant Dan" @15:49. Forrest Gump would be proud
Remember, when you're stealing something, less is best. The less you say, the better it comes across. He put too much detail into his lie.
He also has a tell. Watch when he touches his face. No polygraph needed. When he talks about the honesty of the other people on the force he covers his face.
You're obviously experienced in theft then?
@@Biffo1262 i mean, they could also just be a pretty good liar.
@@Biffo1262so you are taking up with the thief then
Tyrants and crooks!!🤬
No, the repercussions are going to fall on every person they pull over every time theyre in a foul mood because of "How their life has went" (even if ultimately by their own faults). And this is why LAW ENFORCEMENT shouldnt be allowed to go back to work when theyre deemed untrustworthy and possibly criminal.
It would be beneficial for all law enforcement personnel working with seized cash to have a camera on them at all times and count the money in a room with cameras as well. Protect yourselves, LEO's!
or... don't worry about the cash. cameras can be everywhere but integrity matters more. you can apply a camera as a blanket solution but the fact that people's internal attitudes won't change is what matters more.
The fact that he was concerned enough to call his father in law when he found the money, but not concerned enough to go straight back and turn the money in speaks volumes. If you have someone else’s money and you shouldn’t, returning it should take priority over plumbing and naps.
uh no it doesnt? he made a mistake and is worried about losing his job so he is contacting someone to figure out the best course of action. there is nothing wrong with that whatsoever
@@ghostbirdlary The person he contacted told him to go right in ASAP and talk to his superior to return the money immediately. Dude lingered, did some side hustle, napped, then strolled in like he didn’t give a fuck. It’s not his money, he should have been back in there the moment he found it regardless of consequences. It’s not a lottery win where he needs to get people together to tel, him how to handle.
@@girlnextdoor0703 you realize people deal with stressful situations in different ways right? some people get shot and call their parents instead of 911 first. and it wasnt his money, but it wasnt someones money either. it was the federal governments money and i think they can wait a day to get 3k lol. its not like he killed a guy
@@ghostbirdlary He got busted, no amount of rationalization is going to change that. He’s a clown online forever.

Multiple friends of mine who used to slang back in the day all got their drug money stolen by cops. Even had one cop take everything from my friend and let him go.. This was before body cams of course.. No surprise...
If that’s true that’s what they get. If they’re dealing you pay the price. Cops just taught them a lesson.
the alternative, the cop doing it by the book, is a lose-lose for both parties. Either way the money was going to be under someone else's posession; at least the cop(s) gave them something in return.
@@user-kf6fl5if4k lol, how clueless can you be? Because they are criminals, it's ok for the cops to be criminals, too? wtf is wrong with your brain?
Imagine being so incompetent that the only job you can get is a cop, then mess that up. Can’t even count money
It's funny how cops can see from a block or two away that you don't have a seatbelt on ( usually a lie ) but couldn't see a money bag in their unit. 🤦🏾
Dishonesty always finds light.
It’s amazing the how different the laws are for cops.
I was a bartender and we had a money counting machine 😂
They have to meticulously account for every dollar, so that when they take it as an asset forfeiture (rightly or UNRIGHTLY), their department doesn't miss out on any of that delicious money.
BUT, the whole aim, just like with insurance companies, is to take in the money and not give it back.
I knew an Alaska State Trooper that was fired for the same thing. Absolute disgrace to the Troopers.
What a surprise that no one lost their job
I got pulled over and had about 4 grand on me. When I fought to get the money back they said I only had like 3200. This was 17 years ago way before they had body cams. I tried to fight it but they said I needed proof that I had that much money and not what was given back to me. This goes on every day with the cops.
I don't understand how they knew the counted amount was $3k short if they didn't know the correct amount?
Exactly. They’re just mad they didn’t get their fair share
My same thoughts!
Are you slow? The cops reported the amount to the bank and the bank were the ones who calculated the missing amount.
I remember when this happened to herc and carver. They happened to find the missing money and didn’t actually steal that time. They didn’t get in trouble but their lieutenant still assume they did it. If you know you know lol
As a current LEO imma just say this is common especially with the feds
$3,000??? That’s literally like a paycheck for these troopers it’s nothing.
Double dipping. Taking that money before it was processed and given back to him by the state in a paycheck.
@@roberth2833 Exactly. What an idiot. Also why would they count all the money record it down on papers and then proceed to take 3k???? 🤣🤣 Low IQ trooper.

No one KNOWS what the total amount seized was, we are to believe these 4 guys who counted it.... it could have been a half a million for all we know... and they divvied up some of it but fucked up counting what they were handing in.... did that pile look like it was only 110k ??

I'm from South Carolina. I moved from there a few years back. The first thing I noticed in my new home was a freedom that I felt when being on the roads. In SC, you would be stopped if you were the only car on the road at night. They would make up their excuse for stopping you, once it was, "You bumped into the white line twice" even though the officer initiated his blue lights over a quarter mile behind me. Just countless times being stopped under false pretenses. After almost 2 decades of living like that, I still have a fear of driving past 9pm even though I don't drink, I don't use drugs and im a completely law abiding citizen. I hate when people drive under the influence and I want them caught before they can hurt another innocent driver. But in South Carolina, at least the area I was from, it is not about getting the drunks off the road to protect the innocent. It's a huge part of the economy. Hearing that there is an award for making the most DUI arrests is actually a bit unsettling. They have made a competition out of the number of people they can find an excuse to arrest. Instead of looking at it critically and being realistic about only arresting people who need to be arrested. They are screwing with people's lives and the one who does the most gets recognized and promoted.
I wonder how many of those DUI arrests led to convictions... But for the person who was arrested, it doesn't really matter. They lost $10k and all kinds of time and freedom at the moment of arrest. A year later, being proven not guilty doesn't make much of a difference. They don't get anything back and the officer faces no consequences and still gets credit for the arrest. It is a screwed up system that resembles piracy to me. That's just the SC Highway Patrol. Don't get me started on the local sheriff's departments. Where I live now, it's like night and day. I love my local law enforcement, I am a huge supporter and I am very grateful for the work they do here. I go out, specifically, to vote for our sheriff
They not only have awards for DUI arrests, departments are bribed with "grants" by insurance companies. The town where I used to live got two or three free patrol cars funded by insurance companies because they had a certain number of DUI arrests per capita.
Congrats on making it out of that hellhole. I drive through SC all the time for work, and it's always so depressing seeing all the messed up roads and deserted factory towns.
i was a book keeper for a while and it is VERY easy to lose count of money/count it wrong, particularly if you have no training in the matter.

I live in Charleston, SC and I’m am telling you all this 100% honesty…. THIS HAPPENS IN EVERY SMALL TOWN HERE. and Sumter is the WORST.
Cottageville had police to pull you over for going 1 mile over the speed limit. It’s one Main Street, speed goes from 55 to 25 within 500 feet. You can’t see the sign due trees covering it. Also business line the road with business signs. Picture an election rally location with hundreds of signs off the side of the road. The cops sit parked behind trees where you can’t see them. 8/10 people gets pulled over.
One time I drove through and I swear, the cop was parked in the middle of the road waving 8 cars to pull over. Cars were doing maybe 2-5 mph (that slow), because the cops entered the road to pull over 8 cars. Some for no reason, it’s almost like he picked a color and said “I’ll let all the black cars through and everyone else pulls over.” I was 11th in line and could swear he about to pull me over for having a dark grey truck. He let me go but three behind me had to pull off the road.
The police department is now disbanded by the city council due to budget. I guarantee they pulled people over for tickets to justify why the town needed a police department. Cottageville has roughly a max of 100 citizens. There is only through traffic to get to Walterboro from Charleston. That’s it. It’s one road. Actually two roads but no one takes the road through the swap.
They stole thousands of dollars and weren't even in jail for this? They really can do all they want.
Crazy that a "person" who took a job whose number 1 requirement of him is to create victims where there otherwise wouldn't and SHOULDN'T be, would be a criminal. Shocking!
You saying we should let people drive drunk?
@@sm0ki Durr, I couldn't come up with a counter argument so I deflected, durr I'm a neanderthal that can't think, durr. Try again.
@@McCucumber A "counter argument" to what? What's your argument?
@@sm0ki The point you are deliberately evading is quite clear. If your intellectual capacity falls short of comprehending my straightforward words, I have no inclination to simplify them for you. I am not an English teacher, and I cannot fathom how to make someone like you understand such elementary concepts. It appears that you are feigning ignorance due to a personality disorder, preventing you from being truthful or conducting yourself as a mature adult capable of engaging with others.
@@sm0ki Your initial response indicates that you THINK you know what the person's argument was. Now you're feigning ignorance. Did you spend 6 months in an academy some where and were you trained to be this way or are you naturally deceitful? Pretending to be less intelligent than you are, is not a good look.
This cop took an oath and breaking that means he should never be a police officer again, Blessed Be.
How does a department not have a cash counter, and then double triple check it at a bank the next business day?
And who wouldn't have called their relative to "bail them out" if a situation? Obviously most people don't steal but if you are in trouble with life in general we call family.
Shoulda took it before it went to evidence
Award winning DUI guy ?
What percentage of those charges on people were under false pretenses ?
Probably in the range of up to 60% of them.
This is So Funny. I used to work with him.
Or should I say he has arrested me before, lol. Im sure of it.
Wow. So criminals were allowed to steal from another criminal and got away with it. Gotta love the U.S. justice system.
You should never steal. The government doesn't like competition.
I am not surprise. Some cop steal money, gun, jewel, drugs, etc. for years.
Whoever it was that was expecting that money, was certainly not happy. Dude that was arrested is probably gonna wanna walk around with his head on a swivel.
This department should really invest in a bill counting machine, would save a lot of taxpayer money
I deem every cop there GUILTY of the unlawful theft of money that was not theirs in the first place. They should ALL be sent to prison!!
"Now it's startin' to look like I did... What I actually did.. So that's why I was scared."
he blinks while shaking his head and smiling when asked directly if he took the money, very strange body language
This guys voice is the best - audit the audit !!
This just makes me sick. Everything about it screams Corruption. I refuse to believe there’s not a single money counting machine used previously in the police station, or one they could easily get. The whoops! “Forgetting” there was a bag of money left in the officers vehicle 💼 The failed polygraph test, I mean come on!
So shady… and disgusting.
Everyone involved should have gone to jail for grand theft.
If the police precinct can’t do basic arithmetic then they should have called someone who CAN count.
Holy smokes these are the same cops that tore my car apart for two hours looking for drugs. Then, they left.
Why did you consent to a search?
@VisibilityFoggy I was young and didn't know. I knew they wouldn't find anything, and I thought they would look around and send me on my way.
My mom was a police officer, but the cops back in the 80s are not the same as today. They're militarized today, and their enemy is the people. It's a money-making racket.
Never, ever trust someone whose head is slimmer than their neck.
if you close your eyes, the suspect sounds like dr phil
So they reinstated him as a liar and thief to continue as if nothing happened.
Criminals all around. The guy with the drugs, the cops, the federal government. All are criminals.
Imagine how much money this police officer has stolen from people he's pulled over and arrested over the years, and sadly after even all of this he's allowed to continue his job so you can bet he's still stealing. Just look at the people arrested for shoplifting, they go back and do it over and over and over again and never stop even after getting caught and facing trouble over it. The reason they do it is because it gives them a thrill almost like taking drugs does.
Counted my money, and Loss count..several times...and demanded more money via online harrassment and bullying
If they took an hour to count just $20's they should not be touching money.
Well, they didn’t become cops because they were good at math in school
He looks so sad and disgusted with himself, his face and emotions give him away. He better never cheat on his wife, he has no poker face.
You'd think with all that extra cash he stole, he would be able to pay his wife or girlfriend to iron his damn shirt.
They're cops, not bankers. Besides, I'm not losing sleep over cops stealing a drunk driving drug dealer's money.
I got arrested by Aurora PD once and my rent money disappeared.
