Police Disrobed Dead Crash Victim, Took Photos

You didnt read the whole thread DID you? Now although Im 99% positive they did what is said they MIGHT have done it for legit reasons..... but I very highly doubt that.

Actually, I did read the whole thread and there is no conclusive evidence that anything happened exactly as this lawsuit is alleging. Also, you’re the only person who mentioned posting pictures… :shrug:

You are right... I don't know what happened, but assuming it's true and this officer disrobed a corpse and took nude photos is disgusting, and the only motive I can think of is some type of perversion.

I agree that if proper procedures were not followed or if there was misconduct then, by all means, the guilty parties should be punished. However, there is no concrete evidence of wrongdoing as of yet, and as someone who deals with lawsuits quite frequently, I can assure you that very often the allegations made in suits are overblown to the largest extent possible.
 
He said "posing" not "posting." :prof:



Glad to know you've determined guilt already in this case. Might I ask where you got your complete information from?[/QUOTE]
I don't have all the facts yet, but the cops acted stupidly.:lol:
 
I'll never understand why so many people automatically swallow anything that anyone includes in a lawsuit. Why would you assume that these people are telling the truth? Probably 99% of lawsuits that contain outlandish claims are manufactured out of whole cloth.

We are not in a courtroom right now... and courtrooms are public for a reason, so when the case goes to the court we'll know their verdict and why

I think most cops are professional and do a good job. This story is ****ed up though. Should be easy to prove if it's true.

If by, "most", you mean 51%, then I would agree. However, there is a large minority of cops out there that don't deserve to wear the badge. They certainly shouldn't be allowed to have a badge and a gun, at the same time.

Not sure what you're getting at here. You're saying that until a case goes before a court, you'll believe anything that a plaintiff says? At what point does common sense enter into the equation?

It's absurd to say that you're "99% sure" that these claims are true when you don't have a shred of evidence to support that position.
 
Maybe in Louisiana the pay is $20K a year, but I an assure you that they are paid many thousands (many thousands) more than $20K a year.

As if what they're being paid would in any way excuse such conduct. Frankly, I don't believe it.

Let's just say that a sherrif's deputy makes 50 g's a year. How far will 50 g's get you, living in the Chicago area? I'm guessing about as far as 20 g's will get you living in Acadia Parish, Louisiana and that ain't a real long way.
 
Why should those who are depended on the taxes of the citizens get paid more than your run of the mill private sector worker (who contributes more to society BTW). If they dont like it, they should go look for private sector work.

You get what you pay for. That's just how things work in the real world.

I spoke to my cousin who is a detective on their force this afternoon. Pick "C".

Why is it that conserva-people will swallow and digest anything from their propaganda-pushing salesmen but its soooooooooooooooooooo difficult to accept that there are dirty cops that lie and break laws? Its like fat people that will order a huge lunch but then order a Diet Coke because he is watching calories.
 
Stupidity is not the same a gross misconduct.

Sorry you didn't get it. It was an Obama joke.

Besides we don't have the facts. I can't find any info anywhere on this case to get the cops side.

Oh, well if some guy on the internet claims that he heard that his cousin heard that this was true, it must be true!

There are plenty of bad cops. The fact that bad cops exist does not prove that in this particular case, bad cops did this particular thing.

That's easily the worst misuse of the fat dude/diet coke analogy that I've ever seen.

Sorry, I’m nursing a splitting headache and that one went right over my head.

Forgive me for not believing your anecdotal evidence, I could just as easily say that my nephew was the photographer on scene and he says it didn’t happen like your cousin said it did. Beside the point, I’m fairly certain that if what you claim WERE true, your cousin would be in all manner of hot water for revealing facts about an investigation that have not been made public yet, as they are likely pending further investigation.

Bottom line, I don’t believe you.

Btw, I’m not a Conservative, just like you’re not a Liberal, but feel free to quote me blindly buying into ANYTHING posted on this forum that hasn’t been substantially proven.

Which is worse, a big lunch with a tasty diet coke or a big lunch with a nasty regular coke? You seem to be a bigot when it comes to fat people. Did one steal your girl scout cookies?

Of course... I am not saying they are guilty and I know the difference. My statement was under the assumption that he is guilty and I know it was an assumption, not a judgement of guilt. We are not responsible for punishing wrong doers.. so I will not personally try to punish the guy socially or otherwise, which was not my intention. However, I think it's reasonable to judge the alleged crime as disgusting and perverse.

I dont give a hoot if you believe me or not. Its not going to change your life or mine but if you read what I write you would know I have family and 2 friends in law enforcement. Ive also worked with public safety for 3 years and been around a PD on a personal basis for 2 years. Also my cousin didnt come out and say GUILTY either. In FACT he said he couldnt really discuss it fully with me. But since Im not devoid of common sense I infered that this was 100% real and I am very rarely wrong.

Also the "conservative" thing I said was not directed at you. Why in the hell would you think it was? :confused: I know youre not technically conservative.
 
You choose the best, after you've met the government mandated quotas ;)

Agreed!! It amazes me that blacks can say they cant pass the test... SOOOOOOO.... it MUST be racist! And then there are women that demand they do the same job as the men, but cant do the same job as the men....... man dont get me started on this.

I think this is an unwarranted assumption.

Simply because you have a cousin who is one of several thousand chicago cops, how does that mean that you or he have some magical insight into what happened with the half dozen cops who were actually at this scene? In addition, I don't understand how the fact that you spend time around cops somehow gives you special knowledge of this particular incident.

I spend a lot of time around lawyers. I know some lawyers who work in DC. That does not mean that I know anything about what a particular lawyer in DC did on a particular day.

Again, forgive me for my disbelief, but I’ll wait until all the facts are in before passing judgment. If the allegations are true, I promise my voice decrying their actions will be even louder than yours is now. However, I’ve seen far too many over-inflated accusations brought about by litigious people and their ambulance chasing attorneys to take this at face value.

Also the "conservative" thing I said was not directed at you. Why in the hell would you think it was? :confused: I know youre not technically conservative.

I was quoted in your post before your statement, so I naturally assumed you were intending to lump me in to the group of people you were referring to. If this was not your intent, then please accept my apologies.

Well fair enough. I can understand. We never met and it would be quite difficult to follow everything Ive written on here. I might call BS if the shoe was on the other foot.

The reason there isn't much info is because the accident happened a year ago on New Years Eve. And by all indications it was tragic but not particularly exceptional. Driver was waaay drunk and charges are still being processed against him. Girl/victim was a passenger in his car.

As the police statement noted in the OP link, the allegations in the lawsuit came out of right field as far as the police were concerned. Am guessing the lawsuit was filed yesterday to get under the wire of a one year deadline to file such a civil action. Just a guess....

I found news reports from 2009. No mention of cops doing anything wrong. The driver was a partner in a soon to open restaurant, with a hockey player in the Black Hawks. The stepfather of the girl said that the driver was an ex boyfriend and he didn't know why the two were together that night. What I can't figure is who are the witnesses? Is it the driver? He only had a broken wrist and scrapes. Neither were wearing seat belts. From what we've read it sounds like the cops think any onlookers would be on their side.
