Does everyone trying to buy coke there go to prison for life those cells must be pretty full


Cops are just people there are all kinds good,bad,dumb,smart et..,

 

[Hayabusa4life]

There always atleast one bad apple from a bash, anywhere.

Not supporting him, but up to life in prison? Man, that's harsh.
The man at least was holding down his job, he just has a problem.
AND, if you did get life in prison, how the heck are you supposed to pay up to 10mil in fines?!
Just another example of the screwed up system.

LEO's are held to a higher standard, and rightly so. I have some friends on the MPD and I'm certain they are embarrassed about this and without sympathy.

 

[sixpack577]

That is alot of weight/cash, but is it worth your tax dollars supporting him in prison for life?

 

[BigBadDodge]

I bet a cop knows where to find the best stuff though

 

[Blanca BusaLess]

If he gets life it he will most likely do 8-10 and get out on good behavior.
If its life without chance of parole he's in trouble.

I bet none of them want to end up in the penal farm. It's nowhere near as bad as it use to be but still not a nice place.

Prolly so. Now to find a ballsy enough dealer to sell to an on duty, in uniform and in patrol car cop might be tough

Well, we know now there out there. Ole boy probably said he didn't care what he wore or drove, if he got the cash he's good. And I'm sure he isn't the only law enforcement out there doing it every day, he just got caught by dealing with someone the Feds were already watching.

 

[GNBRETT]

law enforcement has their 10% ers like every profession. LE is certainly no exception to that rule and they give all other cops a black eye when doing so. im sure that wasnt his first time doing that either. good luck in jail....

An 11-year veteran of the Bakersfield Police Department was arrested Friday night after methamphetamine. was found in the pocket of his uniform pants, police said Monday.

Bakersfield Police Chief Greg Williamson called the arrest of officer Ofelio Lopez, a 36-year-old patrol officer, a disappointing but isolated incident.

"It's disappointing to us," Williamson said. "It's disappointing to me as the chief of the agency."

BPD Lt. Brian Clayton said police began investigating Lopez last week after receiving information from a citizen "that one of our officers was involved in the use of illegal narcotics," specifically methamphetamine.

Well, that is about 50,000 - 100,000 worth of resale..I'm guessing.. And that's what he told his friend he needed.... He probably had everything on the other end set up already.... Somebody is pissed
