Not so brave now, huh?
The system has marked him for life.
It's the theft part that done him in.
Perjury and falsifying evidence are just another day's work for a police officer. Even theft is ok most of the time. His mistake was stealing from the county, not from the public.
$19,000!? What happened to the low rent rendezvous?
Just another case of the patriarchy coming down hard on sex workers like it was any other business.
Sounds like a model Trumpanzista J6er. He'll walk with a presidential pardon if he can show pix of the proper yard sign...
So far all the comments prove only the poster's stupidity.
He did wrong. And he is a cop, that is a higher responsibility not a lower one !!!!
