I think what you witness was the officer giving someone a parking violation but during the process of giving the parking violation, the officer witnessed or saw evidence of a more serious crime in plain sight in the car which may include drugs or weapon.



Um, I think Cerberus may know of what he speaks, not necessarily as the loudmouth and not necessarily as a bystander...

The states are not the same here. Louisiana is the one I'd be afraid of. They used to allow police officers to collect the fine for a speeding ticket on the spot, in cash... Think about that. I don't know if they still permit it, but they did into the 1970s...

If worst came to worst and no existing statute seemed to fit I'm sure the prosecutor would look to bribery and other official misconduct laws - something will fit, and assuming they want to fire him they'll drum up some charge to give them cover.
