Accused drug-planting deputy slapped with two dozen new charges

[pknopp]

Republicans don't want to reform this.

Proof of that?

Why is he getting busted then?

The guy sounds like an asshole.

We never made the claim there aren’t any bad cops.

Reform.............An armed officer should never be searching a car over a broken tail light. Agree?

What do you want him to be punk, unarmed?

For a simple traffic infraction? Yes.

He was already indicted on 52 charges last year.


Accused drug-planting deputy slapped with two dozen new charges




Prosecutors have leveled a host of new charges against the former Jackson County deputy accused of planting drugs on unwary drivers during bogus traffic stops recorded by his own body camera.

Zachary Wester, whose career in law enforcement came crashing down in 2018 after the allegations came to light, was indicted last year on a total of 52 counts, including charges of racketeering, official misconduct, perjury, fabricating evidence, false imprisonment and possession of drugs. The charges stemmed from Wester’s arrests of 11 different people.

Last month, prosecutors filed an amended information charging Wester with two dozen additional counts involving five more of his alleged victims. The charges stemmed from traffic stops in 2017 and 2018 in which drivers or passengers were arrested on drug charges including possession of methamphetamine and marijuana.

In another of the new cases, Wester stopped a woman with two kids in the car because one of her brake lights was broken, according to arrest reports. After a search of the vehicle, Wester claimed several baggies with suspected meth were found on the front console under her wallet. She denied it was hers. But Wester arrested her for felony possession and — because kids were present — child endangerment.

Leftists: All cops are bad!
Also leftists: Only cops should have guns!

LOL

It's going to happen in many places. Why do you need a gun to tell someone their tail light is out?

The point is that if a cop is searching a vehicle from a routine traffic stop, then all his superiors, the prosecutors, judges, and lawyers, are all equally corrupt and guilty.
He should never have gotten away with such illegal activities, ever. Not even once.

And obviously what this means is that the police are profiting from citations.
It is a revenue source.
Which means police then are not impartial and their testimony useless.

All judges must know this, but still let it happen.
So they are equally guilty, but just no way to prove it.

I was searching my threads and saw this one, so I googled his name to see what happened to him.

Former deputy Zachary Wester sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for drug planting

And some cops make careers out of planting drugs on people

But if the cops know these people are probably thugs, it gets those thugs off the street.

It's not the cop's job to get thugs off the street.

If it were, all politicians everywhere would be in jail.

“We need more men like him to bring healthy change to our community,” friend Michael Montague said.

Sadly there are people who really think this.
