Re: We fabricated drug charges against innocent people to meet arrest quotas, former
Yeah, I've always heard shady things about narcotics - apparently it's not the most honest part of the department. And your handling of the situation sounds better than the other people's. If the supervisor wants the charge, they should be responsible for it.Which is why Ive made a rule for myself.
No work in narcotics.... its a shady area.
Some of the guys Ive worked with have run into situations where a supervisor demand they arrest someone and charge them with something that the officer disagrees upon meeting the elements of that particular crime.
In their case, they just arrested them for the lower crime they committed and charged them with that and didn't tell the supervisor.
In my case, I'll charge them with the higher crime, but list myself as the transporting officer and list the supervisor as the charging officer and put him down for court.
