When you DONT consent to a fishing expedition search of your car:

Sgt. Shawn R. Glans, 48, a police officer for 27 years, was suspended without pay pending an internal investigation.
An Albany criminal defense attorney said incidents in which police claim they had permission to search a person's vehicle, but didn't, are common.
"In my experience, most vehicle searches are conducted in complete disregard for the Fourth Amendment," Kindlon said. "Every few years one out of a zillion of these bad searches is captured on video. Then the powers-that-be declare themselves to be 'shocked.' "

Red Flags: In 1999, the town of Wilton paid $6 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of a 45-year-old man left paralyzed when Glans, driving three times the speed limit, lost control of his patrol car and smashed head-on into another vehicle.

A peek into a sick mind:  "If I had to do it all over again ... I'd probably do the same thing. If I knew the camera was there, no, because it does look bad."

...And why did it "look bad"?

The law works if you have a camera.   2 days later he is fired and arrested.

What do you wanna bet he will get a "slap" on the wrist....?

Not even if you have a camera.

The POS deputy was allowed to resign, and instead of facing battery or civil rights violations charges, was ticketed for second-degree harassment.
He was also arraigned on a misdemeanor charge of misconduct, which is expected to be dropped when they re-hire him next month.
Uh-huh, its broken.

The same exact slap given to the officer by the young man. Would have gotten him thrown to the ground, roughed up, arrested and charged with assault on a officer which is a felony.
But a clearly out of control angry police officer gets off with a misdemeanor. And will be employed again in some sort of capacity as a person who is supposed to uphold the very law he just violated.

The county already had to pay out millions for his reckless accident he caused in his squad car back in the 90s.
He showed how arrogant he is by stating he would do it again but differently if he knew he was being recorded. They all feel that way. He just has the balls or ignorance to say it

He is gone (and essentially blacklisted) and now the kids will make some money off the deal.   Win-win.

Two years max.  He will be back - perhaps a different agency - that is the kind of personality they look for way too often.

He's still an active PO in neighboring South Glens Falls, and before that, Saranac Lake police force.  Moves a lot.

He was a Sarasota deputy sheriff in 1996 and was still one until a week or two ago?    I would call that longevity, not "moving a lot."

After leaving the taxpayers with a $6 Million tab for paralyzing an innocent man, they might just call this incident "Tuesday."

Wow. I guess next time get out of the car.

Saying the FBI has "cleared" them, Hammond's mayor has returned two police officers to regular duty two months after they were accused of using excessive force during a traffic stop, smashing a window and using a Taser on a passenger.

Police brutality in Gary and Hammond are frequently well-deserved.  Ever been there?

Officer tells black man that walking with his hands in his pockets was "making people nervous"

A white police officer stopped a black Michigan man on Thanksgiving just for walking with his hands in his pockets, according to a video posted on Brandon McKean's Facebook page on Nov. 27.

The Pontiac, Michigan police officer detained Brandon McKean for "making people nervous," after he was seen "walking by with your hands in your pockets." McKean can be heard saying that his hands were in his pockets because it was snowing outside.

"There's 10,000 people in Pontiac right now with their hands in their pockets," McKean told the officer.

"You're, right, but we do have a lot of robberies," the officer told McKean, "So I'm just checking on you." The officer can also be seen simultaneously recording the encounter on his phone.

"Just got stopped Walking BECAUSE MY HANDS WERE IN MY POCKETS... POLICE STATE," wrote McKean when he posted the video on Facebook.

Probably been a lot of shootings, too, but you only see one guy walking around with a gun...

Cop handled that one perfectly.   Never got belligerent or abusive.   When someone calls 911 it is their job to respond and he handled it with professionalism.   

Nice to see a good one.
