Corruption With Clarity

This is disgusting. A site by cops complaining about other cops who do their jobs and give tickets to (law breaking) cops. Cops Writing Cops
Apparently, police corruption isn't worthy of hiding any more. Here's a site where cops (of various flavors) name and shame other police officers who have the temerity to issue tickets to their "brother" police officers when said "brothers" break the law. Don't miss the "Dick of the Month" section of the website, which could, in my opinion, be renamed "Cops Who Actually Do Their Jobs."
Here's an example:
As my uncle and I were exiting from a gas station onto a major roadway, we had to pass over 3 lanes of stopped traffic to get into the left lane. My uncle stopped for each lane before proceeding. The right lane and middle lane waved my uncle on and then the left lane began to move. My uncle was at a complete stop in the middle lane. The driver in the middle lane then decided to pull forward however, we were still in her lane and she hit us. The police were called we waited for them to arrive. When the officer arrived, my uncle had all the information needed for the officer's report, including mine on a piece of paper. He told the officer that he was a police officer and he handed him the paper. The officer handed it back to him and proceeded to ask me the same questions that were already answered on the paper. He then asked my uncle what happened and he stated the above. My uncle showed the officer his badge as he pulled out his DL and again told him where he worked. The officer then went to his car and completed not only a accident report, damage less then $500, but a traffic citation for failing to yield out of a private drive. The officer appeared to be having a bad day and was rude. I told my uncle that he should have complained about the attitude of the officer however he refused. If this was not bad enough the officer stated in court that my uncle NEVER said anything of the sort about the accident.

Later when the officer was asked by a co-worked about the incident he lied again by saying that my uncle did not identify himself and that there was no way of knowing that he was a police officer. This guy was sure clue less. My uncle has a special law enforcement memorial plate, FOP stickers, and his uniform was hanging on the passenger side hook (the same side he talked to me on). Let alone my uncle said that he was a police officer twice and that he could have filled out the accident report for him. I am glad that this paid observed noticed that. Now I hear that this guy is a SGT. Go figure.. No professional courtesy in West Chicago,IL.
He had stickers! He had a special plate! He should be above the law.
