Officials: Illegal Immigrant Became a Cop in Alaska

It doesn't make any sense to release the people he arrested since they are criminals. The article says he was widely respected. If his record is clean, I think he should be allowed to apply for citizenship.

You deserve an e bitch slap for that statement. :hammer:
How can you possibly condone this person's actions?
 
where did I say that the officer shouldn't be punished? show me.

"It doesn't make any sense to release the people he arrested since they are criminals. The article says he was widely respected. If his record is clean, I think he should be allowed to apply for citizenship."
"If his record is clean?
How that is possible if he is here illegally & using stolen ID?
Please explain.:roll:
 
Something good will come out of this..like imposing stronger background checks on its police department across the nation

It will be very difficult to pull this **** again
 
Link to the appropriate laws and legal precedents, then.

Sure.

Citizen's arrest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://www.jstor.org/pss/1120387

American citizens do not carry the authority or enjoy the legal protections held by police officers, and are held to the principle of strict liability before the courts of civil- and criminal law including, but not limited to, any infringement of another's rights.

Considering he was not a cop as he was not eligible to be one, he is held to strict liability before the courts in civil and criminal law. There you go.

In order to make a citizens arrest, you must be a CITIZEN. An illegal alien, by definition, is NOT a legal American citizen. Thus he can't arrest anyone.

I knew it. This came from Fox "News"

Not even the hard core liberals on here used that scapegoat anymore.

So by all means, show what is inaccurate about it. Looked pretty balanced to me. Guy was a cop, guy was an illegal with a stolen identity. Had MSNBC reported it, you'd be fine with it?

Here is the same article in Reuters.

Yahoo news:

Officials: Popular cop in Alaska Illegal immigrant - Yahoo! News

EPIC FAIL by you. Glad I'm not you, newbie. You earned your first fail pail:

Not really..

Now your just stereotyping..

I normally get news from assorted places found from google.
 
UHHHHH..... Excuse me, but he is a criminal himself, not only is he in this country illegally, he was using a false/stolen ID.
He should rot in prison.
Anyone who was arrested by him should be freed, as any testimony from him can not be treated as truth. :2mad:

Too much emotion for me to respond to.

I don't condone his illegal immigration. I condone his work as a cop, which according to those worked with him, was exceptional.

His police record.
 
No, but you DO have to be a legal citizen. You can't be an illegal alien and arrest anyone. Also, any arrests made by someone who is impersonating an officer are null and void as well. So, like I said, all of the arrests should be null and void. It doesn't matter the outcome of the case criminal court, the arrest and charge was invalid thus so is the case.

Where does it say one has to be a legal citizen? Link, please. Sorry, I don't buy that his arrests were invalid. I'd have to see that from someone other than DontWorryBeHappy. It's probably something for the courts....if there's even an issue. This may end up in the Supreme Court b4 it's over. If there's a modicum of common sense in the law, you be wrong. ;)
 
Well you could just not allow the illegal cop to be a witness. I don't know. I can't find any sympathy for the guy.
 
I don't condone his illegal immigration. I condone his work as a cop, which according to those worked with him, was exceptional.

But any police work was done under false pretenses, the public trust shat upon.

Not following you here.
His police record should/will have a felony conviction for identity theft.

His record as a police officer - i.e. did he arrest people according to procedure, etc..

If he worked as well as any other police officer, then I condone and support his work. His identity theft is another matter. It's the same for every other police officer who commits a crime. Their work as a police officer ought to be evaluated separately from their criminal actions.
 
Don't go getting all choked up as Libs tend to do.
Just embrace the fact that he is a criminal and it will be all better.

I'm not talking about my emotion. I'm talking about yours. Also, I already know he's a criminal which is why he should be tried before he is given a path to citizenship.
 
He has no record as a police officer, other than impersonating one.
I can not fathom how you can consider sympathy in this case.

Because people are more than their crimes.

Path to citizenship?
How about a path to prison and then a path to Methico?
