			I don't think we ever made things public about the outcome of this thread. Basically, the guy who had his name on the ownerships of the 5 ZL1 Camaros was questioned by the police. He told them that he was given money by someone to go into the licence bureau (DMV) and put these cars in his name. Once he left the licence bureau, someone had him sign over the ownership papers and walked off with them. The individual then refused to reveal to the police who the person was that now has the signed off Ownerships (Titles). Police would not persue the case any further unless the cars are found. Even though it is possible for that person to build, register and sell these vehicles, the incident has been registered with law enforcement should they ever mysteriously re-appear.

[/ QUOTE ] Having worked with cops on a few fraud cases, your statement is uncalled for. How much time and money do you suppose a police department should spend on a case where at best, the crime commited would have given the person who did this a slap on the wrist by some liberal judge? I will say this - the police did spend some time to investigating this and they have more information than what has been made public. Truth is, they are time and budget constrained and have to pick their battles accordingly.

			Very well said Hylton. This is very true. Anyone can be gotten  if the time and money are allocated for doing so. Alot can be said though for some police officers that will actually put forth a whole hearted effort to fully investigate a crime.   |

[/ QUOTE ] According to your logic we should stop arresting criminals because the liberal judges will set them free anyway. If police do not have the time or money to deal with this petty stuff then we can expect serial numbers to desirable Canadian documented cars to mysteriously reappear on the DMV database. |

How can you say this unless you KNOW the case and or officers involved? Let's face it, if cops spent as much time chasing real criminals instead of writing speeding tickets maybe we would really be reducing crime. Oh, and as to the comments about liberal Judges, yes I agree, I am fed up with them as well. BUT, what have the cops around here started doing? They charge/accuse someone of EVERYTHING under the book for some minor infraction. I know some poor schmuck that got into an accident where the damage was $519.00. Very minor. He asked to take some pictures with his cell phone, very nice and respectuflly (I was there) and wound up being charged with reckess op, obstructing traffic, no turn signal and on and on.  I am hearing more and more of this crap, and I for one am fed up with the cops feeling like they are "above the law". Even here, the last time we had this discussion, several of the law enforcement personell here (or camaros.net) said that they would not ticket a "brother" LE or family member! Admitted this on a publc board. They also see nothing wrong with taking free "spiffs" from from food stores. http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7047369 It's time LE realized that they work for the people and showed a little respect for citizens. I am tired of cops pointing at Judges and Judges pointing at politicians.

			69LM1, Before I retired I always gave respect to anyone that I came across. I've never been above the law. To everyone bitching about cops writing tickets in school zones I'll say this, until you have had a child or loved one killed by a speeder and/or reckless driver, you should not complain. I have had a friend killed by a reckless driver. He left a wife and two small children behind. Just for the record I hated working traffic unless someone did something blatantly stupid in my presence. In fact I always believed that a verbal warning to ANYONE usually does the trick. On the other hand I have put a fellow police officers relative in jail basically because they thought that they were above the law. I preferred working and responding to violent crimes (armed robberies, purse snatching, etc...) I worked patrol and S.W.A.T. as a sniper for years. Even though I dislike traffic it is part of the job. Numerous felony arrest are made pursuant to traffic stops. A kidnapped woman was accidentally rescued from a car's trunk as the result of a "routine" traffic stop. Lord knows that New Orleans needs alot of help (as it always has) and probably every department could use larger street crimes units. I personally know several N.O.P.D. S.W.A.T. officers and they are more frustrated than anyone. As far as SOME cops being jerks, well that is the case every where with every type of job. There are alot of police officers that I cannot stand because of their attitudes and personalities. My point is that not all police officers are above the law, tax payer abusers.   |
