A Houston police officer handed another man a speeding ticket and probably didn’t realize that the offender he was citing was also a cop. What this ticket-receiving officer noticed on his paper slip though has led to a department-wide investigation.


quote:

The Houston Police Department is conducting its own internal investigation into the issue, putting three officers — Gregory Rosa, Robert Manzanales and John Garcia — on desk jobs during this time.

KHOU reported that a fourth officer identified as Rudolph Farias, who was also being investigated, committed suicide earlier this week in a police parking garage. The 51-year-old was on the force for 21 years and, according to KHOU, made $158,000 in overtime within the past three years.

I'm a little confused.

So they would put each other down as witnesses so that they could be called to court and, as a result, get paid overtime?

What if they actually had to testify and knew nothing about the specifics of the ticket?

you left out the actual violation

cops listed on tickets who were not actually present at the time of the offense were cashing in on overtime when they appeared in court later.

Be ready to get some tickets if you drive through Houston late at night on the last day of the month with out of state tags. I got 3 warning tickets one night withing a 5 mile stretch.

Still not as bad as the Henderson cops and their ticket bounty system, which was paid directly via overtime.

Well isn't that lovely. If I was the police union, I would throw them under the bus.

The Chief is standing behind them now, and they are "examining" the devices to see if they were malfunctioning.
