Reuters reported a few days ago on a recent set of court orders from a federal judge in West Virginia finding a troubling pattern of illegal search warrants obtained by drug task force officers.
Unbelievably, instead of prosecuting perjury, the prosecutors begged the Court to reconsider disclosing the lies and thus ruining a cop’s career for lying under oath to a judge.
I’ve compiled the orders with all of the officers and their lies, for all to see, at the link, including the one I handled, which resulted in a financial settlement.
Federal Judge Finds a Pattern of Illegal Drug Task Force Search Warrants in West Virginia
That's part of the problem qualified immunity police officers should never have been given qualified immunity it's the judge's problem that they created so let them fix it
Again you're an attorney you know magisterial judges are basically do whatever their police officers want. They are bought and paid for by the police officers unions
American law enforcement are an antiquated, dangerous, and unproductive attempt at law and order. This system is rotten to the core, and no rational person could see the summation of their behavior and think anything but abolition would be affective.
The poor lying cops
John I totally support you 100% and love what your doing and that you got the balls and back bone to stand up and put these tyrants on blast. I’m sure it’s troubling and stressful knowing you could become the target of made up nonsense to try to silence you. I appreciate what your doing.
I also think that we the people need to start putting together volunteer task forces to to go over every second of body cam from every arrest , every page of paperwork, and scrutiniz every arrest in every jurisdiction and at some point in a perfect society this will soon be common place. The police are the biggest waste of money in America and the biggest criminals
Oh absolutely it is happening everywhere and way more than just search warrants.
This is why i think punishments on criminal cops should be three times as severe.
It needs to be criminal.
Good work
Why not lie to get your warrant? The FBI does it when they are going after a political enemy, such as Trump!
Is lying to a judge considered to be contempt of court?
How is it that the system, at all levels, does not compel a structure an d oversight for thorough, automatic screening by prosecutors' offices of every case and immediate prosecution of all illegal acts by law enforcement? How is it that this is not the first duty of prosecutors? Instead, prosecutors aide and abet. How about creating the ability of a private citizen to initiate prosecution of state actors such as police, judges and ESPECIALLY prosecutors who commit or aide and abet criminal acts? As soon as accountability and responsibility for accountability is built into the system and becomes the normative standard, all, including law enforcement, will be the better for it and wonder why it was not done a century ago.

Judges should be questioned just like the fisa courts.
Would you please come to Australia. We need lawyers like you.

The Judge is going to have a LOT of investigations to do.
If they’re willing to lie to a judge, they will send innocent people to jail through a bunch of lies!!
If the system is corrupted, who can one trust?
S.e. Michigan omni and drano units stole lied violated rights tried to keep quiet
The real problem about the cop who lied to the judge is that he remained a cop… he should have been removed from any police or security work… anywhere.
Your chord progressions are getting better. Your courage is showing.
Once a cop is found to have lied to get a warrant, he should be made unemployed. I would settle for that cop never being allowed to make a sworn statement to obtain a warrant, which would effectively end his career.
Prosecutors being concerned that it jeopardizes a cop's career and trying to protect lying cops clearly have the wrong priorities and we should be reconsidering whether that prosecutor should retain his job.
Lots of innocent people are in prison because of a Brady Violation.
Try and prove a cop lied we have all heard of videos being banned from court because they proved the cop was lying
These cops should do 20 years in Fed prison
This happened with Trump and the Russian investigation. I don't know what a judge can do about it but if they lied to me once they would never get a warrant from me ever again.
Yet they can lie to you!
It seems like your job is like trying to sweep back a rising tide with a broom.
I read a book by a cop, I forget what it was called, but in it he bragged that they have a term for testifying; testilying. Yes, he was bragging that he and other cops lie so much that they have a term for it. Lying in court, to get people convicted.
its called perjury and if we did it we would be charged
I’ll pray for this judge’s safety.
A lot of this subject you're talking about is happening to me at the moment. Pathetic lying parasites in government need to go.
