Please look up the word alluded.

 :horse:
I also didn't see where they "alluded" to the "fact" that he had a record.

After Beverly’s record came back clean, the troopers un-cuffed her and asked her if she wanted to say goodbye to her husband. She asked why she would need to say goodbye, and the trooper said “well, he’s going to jail.”

Apparently the guy who had cuffs on - alluded =  his record did not come back clean.

I believe he got arrested because the was driving a "stolen" car. Not because of his record.

Another problem is that they are protected by unions and it's difficult to impossible to get rid of many types of incompetent government employees including cops.
Sadly I know about this type of thing firsthand.  I was critically injured in a plane crash in the early 90s  (I was the pilot and only person on board/injured), and a recent hire sociopath FAA inspector made it his mission to rub salt in my wounds from the get-go.  From his first visit 2 days after I was moved out of ICU when he told me his father had passed away in the hospital I was in, a couple years earlier, and inferred it was unfair I was alive and his dad dead, and then proceeded to call me stupid for flying a single engined plane at night on an instrument flight plan, to sending a certified letter several weeks later to my hospital bed in a nursing home where I was lying helpless and in a hospital gown  demanding I surrender my pilots license to them so I "wouldn't be tempted to fly until I took a checkride with them proving I was competent to fly", to the next year when I was finally mostly recovered and started jumping through hoops with the FAA medical office trying to regain my medical so I could start flying again and take their checkride, he called me on the phone to say sorry, I know you are trying to get your medical back, but I have to revoke your license for not taking the checkride.  So I had to hire a lawyer and get help with my congressman to get the FAA medical people to issue me my medical to finally get that checkride resolved.  And when all was said and done, I contacted my congressman to complain, and in response to his congressional inquiry, the FAA replied with an outright lie about their actions saying they didn't know I had been working for months with their medical office to get my medical back.
Never once during this did the FAA inspector ever suggest I had violated any rules or was being investigated for charges, other than the time he claimed my license was going to be revoked and I'd be recieving a "letter of revocation" in the mail for not taking the checkride I couldn't take because I didn't have my medical certificate back.  And when I hired a lawyer, he said they can't revoke without a hearing and there is no such thing as a "letter of revocation".
This FAA inspector just retired a year or so back after 20 years "service" and is no doubt now collecting a big pension check that we US taxpayers are paying for. 
As long as the government continues to not hold rogue and unprofessional employees accountable for their behavior by firing them when they screw up, I will continue to have a very negative opinion of our government.  There is no excuse for so many of these stories we see with bad cops and other incompetent government employees on a regular basis.

Hiring practices definitely need to change.

Maybe hire folks who have an IQ over their shoe size?

It would be nice if they hired good people up front but I still think the big problem is how difficult it is to fire them once they get their foot in the door.   :banghead:

Trouble started for the Bruins when they were pulled over by a trooper after he initiated a “routine records check” on the car. When the check did not return a match, the trooper pulled the couple over, Las Vegas’ KLAS reported.

When the trooper ran the registration number which the couple gave him, he didn’t include a “plus” sign. The vehicle showed up as an expired registration for a 2011 Harley Davidson, as a dismissal of charges document explains.

That mistake was compounded when the trooper relayed the Impala’s VIN to a dispatcher who then mis-keyed one of the digits.

When the entry bounced back as a stolen vehicle from California, troopers then proceeded to badger Robin, forcing him to take off his shirt and kneel on the ground before ultimately arresting him.




If the trooper as the article states didn't include the plus sign when entering the registration number which resulted in the registration coming back as being that of an expired 2011 Harley Davidson, where was the verify? Wouldn't the trooper have thought to his/her self. . . now self, that 62 Impala I just pulled over doesn't resemble an 11 Harley Davidson - let's re-enter those characters  :thinkerg: . . .?

In just a few minutes the troopers could have been on their way and the couple would have been able to enjoy the rest of their cruise. I hope this turns out as well as possible for all involved :walkaway:
