The Uniformed Sexual Predator deterrence act

In his memoir Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing, former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper warns that "sexual predation by police officers happens far more often than people in the business are willing to admit.... My cautious guess is that about 5 percent of America's cops are on the prowl for women. In a department the size of Seattle's that's sixty-three police officers. In San Diego [where Stamper began his police career], 145. In New York City, 2,000. The average patrol cop makes anywhere from ten to twenty unsupervised contacts a shift. If he's on the make, chances are a predatory cop will find you. Or your wife, your partner, your daughter, your sister, your mother, your friend."

2,000 probable sexual predators wearing a badge with the power to destroy your life or even kill you. THAT is not a few bad apples.
 
Michigan Supreme Court recognizes right to resist illegal actions by cops

http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/...case/-/1719418/11359286/-/ufqpin/-/index.html

LANSING, Mich. -

The Michigan Supreme Court says people can resist police officers who unlawfully enter their homes.

In a 5-2 decision, the court ordered that charges be dropped against Angel Moreno Junior, a western Michigan man who was accused of obstructing officers at his home in Holland. The officers were looking for someone and tried to enter the home without a warrant.

Lower courts had upheld charges of resisting police, based on a 2004 Supreme Court decision, but justices on Friday said that case was wrongly decided.

The opinion was written by Justice Diane Hathaway. She and two other Democrats on the court were joined by two Republican justices, a rare alliance.

The dissenters were Republican justices Stephen Markman and Robert Young Junior.

A woman raped by a Milwaukee police officer who responded to her 911 call in July 2010 has filed a civil suit against the former officer, the Police Department, Chief Edward Flynn and the city.

The woman, who was 19 when the crime occurred, testified that Cates raped her in the bathroom of her home after she called police about neighbors throwing rocks through her windows. After the officer assaulted her, she was arrested. She told numerous police officers on the scene and at the District 3 station that she had been raped, but they did not believe her.

After about 11 hours, officers from the Professional Performance Division took her to a hospital, where a nurse found physical evidence she had been sexually assaulted and strangled, the suit says. Upon leaving the hospital, the woman was taken back to jail, where she was detained for several days.

She was never charged with a crime.

and the below is going to add substantially to any award or settlement....

In 2011, a Journal Sentinel investigation revealed Cates had been accused of breaking the law five previous times. Three of the previous allegations involved sexual misconduct - two with female prisoners and one with a 16-year-old girl. The alleged incidents date to 2000, three years after he was hired by the department.

Internal investigators referred Cates to the district attorney's office for possible charges in two of the previous cases. The first was a domestic violence battery in 2000. Cates' then-girlfriend said he shoved and choked her. Prosecutors offered Cates a diversion agreement, which allowed him to avoid charges by refraining from criminal activity, avoiding violent contact with the victim and undergoing counseling.

A conviction on a domestic violence charge would have prevented Cates from carrying a gun under federal law and resulted in his removal from the force.

Police also referred Cates to the district attorney's office on allegations of having sex with the 16-year-old in 2007. He was not charged.

The city and the department tolerated such behavior by Cates and other officers, the suit says.

"As a result, police officers, including Defendant Cates, were encouraged and invited to believe that members of the public could be subjected to assaults, illegal arrests, detentions, use of force through sexual violence, and that such conduct was and would be permitted by Defendant City," the suit says.

Milwaukee City Attorney Grant Langley was out of the office and could not be reached Thursday. Sgt. Mark Stanmeyer, spokesman for the Police Department, said he could not comment.

At least 93 Milwaukee police officers on the force as of October 2011 had been disciplined for violating the laws and ordinances they were sworn to uphold, according to a Journal Sentinel investigation. Some officers suffered no legal or career consequences. Others got breaks from prosecutors that allowed them to keep their badges and guns. The most common violations were drunken driving and domestic violence.

it's not only tolerated, but preferred. the unions have garnered such wonderful protections via contract talks, that even I would prefer to be a police officer nowadays, simply because i'd be more free than I am now.

internal affairs used to be hated by cops because they did their job. anymore, they pretty much rubber stamp complaints as unfounded.
