What really needs to happen is AMERICA needs a National Registry for Bad Officers fired for dishonourable service. So they can never apply at another Agency to continue their abuse. Time to hold these thugs with badges ACCOUNTABLE.

Is no one going to talk about the elephant in the room? This whole setup was to make a ton of money for the city and the mayor is neck deep in it. They were racking in over a million $$$ in traffic fines to mostly out of town people passing through, by issuing speed trap tickets and then hounding them for payment like lone sharks. This whole city needs to be investigated.

How does a mayor and city council not question why it takes 50 officers to police a village of 250 folks. Patently absurd. Ludicrous.

Federal law should mandate that any cop who has criminal charges pending their certification is suspended. Found guilty their certification is the first to go.

It's interesting how "ignorance of the law is no excuse" except if you're a police officer

That's not a police department; it's organized crime. Those citizens have every right to do something about it.

Don’t stop with the police chief.
The Mayor and city council members knew what was going on and should be investigated for where all that money was going.

Local journalism isn’t a huge money maker but it deserves to be propped up when you get results like these. We can never let it die. Great investigation.

Imagine being arrested by a police officer, who themselves has an active warrant.

This reporting should be winning an Edward R. Murrow award. It is an example of real, unbiased journalism that makes a difference.

Jeremy Rogalski is one of the best interigator/interviewers I've ever seen. He never batted an eyelid interviewing that cop. And it is obvious by the wash-up, of this sordid business, that he is an indefatigable worker.
Well done, JR!

This is EXACTLY why a free press is so important: it holds those in power accountable to the public.

This man singlehandedly destroyed a whole corrupt police department in a calm demeanor with pure facts

The mayor's toupee was too tight. Great job, we need more journalists like you on the job.
