Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

[brihard]

Shouldn’t even necessarily need a conviction for the firing. With the amount of trust placed in police officers by the public the process to get fired should be a relatively low bar to hit.

It should not be easier to get fired from McDonalds than the police.

Yes, can absolutely be fired without criminal conviction. Police can be fired for misconduct, or discharged for various administrative reasons such as loss of basic job requirements, long term disability etc.

However, any firings would get grieved and appealed, and courts will weigh them against other cases. Generally it takes a clear, intentional, and communicated shift in direction with disciplinary matters for a police service to say “this category of misconduct will be treated more seriously from now on”. It does happen but it’s not common.

PIT for Pay: Four Georgia troopers fired after profiting financially from pursuits

Internal probe reveals members of the Georgia State Patrol filed insurance claims after using sanctioned tactics like PIT maneuvers.

According to an executive summary an internal Department of Public Safety (DPS) investigation, members of Georgia State Patrol’s (GSP) Chatham County-based Nighthawks South unit, as well as one trooper from Rincon Post 42, filed or attempted to file insurance claims against drivers they pursued, even when the troopers themselves initiated the vehicle contact as part of sanctioned tactics such as the Precision Immobilization Technique, or PIT maneuver.

One trooper, identified in the report as TFC2 Hunter Waters, acknowledged filing multiple claims despite not reporting injuries at the time of the incidents. Investigators said he received three settlements of $25,000 each, netting roughly $50,000 after legal fees. The report notes the claims involved “clean” PIT maneuvers with no documented injuries or medical treatment.

Another trooper, TFC1 Tyler Byrd, admitted to submitting more than a dozen crash reports to Maddox and receiving two settlements. Byrd “agreed that the practice of making claims for termination techniques he initiated against insured, fleeing violators was a way to supplement his salary, much like off-duty employment, and that making money was a reason for his engagement in the practice.”

Seems like there were plenty of opportunities in Georgia.

Georgia leads nation in deadly police chases: "A public safety crisis hiding in plain sight"

Dozens have been killed and nearly 1,900 injured in Georgia State Patrol chases from 2019 to 2023, data from the agency reveals.

www.cbsnews.com

. . . From 2019 to 2023, the Georgia State Patrol (GSP) engaged in more than 6,700 pursuits, according to agency data obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Over half of those chases ended in crashes. At least 63 people were killed and nearly 1,900 were injured, and experts say the state's tactics are among the most aggressive in the country. . . .

. . . Georgia has one of the highest fatal pursuit rates per capita in the U.S. In that same four-year span, troopers used PIT maneuvers, a "precision immobilization technique" that forces a fleeing car to spin out, more than 2,000 times, leading to 19 deaths. . . .
