State attorney Megs deems it necessary to lecture TPD Chief Dennis Jones

"Officer Loflands Response was that the arresting officer should have "come up with something" to say he corroborated. That is dishonest and can not be tolerated in our justice system."

"For many years Officer Loftland's inappropriate conduct has gone unchecked."

"The distrust of Officer Loftlands reports, statements and representations is not simply a current problem based on the pending Order to Show Cause, but has been an ongoing problem for a very long time."

"Officer Loftland has no credibility with the Judges of Leon County and, as result of a number of issues, has lost credibility with our prosecutors."

"We take our duties and responsibilities seriously and will not have the integrity of Assistant State Attorneys or our office questioned due to the conduct of Officer Loftland"

"I do not no what course of action your department may take as a result of this letter.................."

O.K. can you can read the rest of this document teaching Chief Jones some of the finer point of

But heres the gig for those who may have residences in Tallahassee but actually live in the land of OZ. Consider the cost TO YOU of failing to stand up for the rights of individuals.

Besides the lawsuit that Tallahassee is going to face relating to the Rachel Hoffman case which is a given is going to cost the city big time. Now 100+ DUI convictions are going to have to be reviewed. That will cost money. Some them will have to be retried. That will cost money. Count on a number of them being overturned.

Now consider how a DUI conviction can cost jobs, families and ruin lives. Some of them folk that may get a conviction overturned ain't gonna be happy with just getting the conviction overturned. They are going to want to sue to get their lives back.

HELLO, who is going to pay for all this Tallahassee? You the citizens will, through increased taxes and loss of services to pay for what? A dysfunctional police department?

Nope! Your failure to heed the words of Thomas Jefferson, you know the dude that wrote the Declaration of Independence, you know what that is dont'cha? Well there is this little thing he said that had it been heeded in Tallahassee may have saved the citizens what is going to be a heap of bucks,

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

Note in the above where the States Attorney indicates these problems have been occurring for a long time. Then ask yourself why Chief Jones is still in office?Add to Technorati Favorites
