So much not provided here. If true, you do not have to sign a ticket. It's still valid even if you do not sign it. I don't believe for a second that everything failed on that particular day at that particular time.
IF true, not only should the officer be fired and charged with a crime, so should whoever had a hand in the video and radio logs dissapearing.
That said, he said he couldn't read the ticket and it seems he can't speak English? Now this is jumping to conclusions I do not know at this point but if he is unable to read English I do not want him driving a truck on the public roads. How does he get a CDL without being able to understand and read English?
In order to get something to stick, they leveled a DUI charge at him, but it came back 0.0
So they said he was driving to many hours beyond regulations, which also was not true.
Both are still on the job a full 2 years after the incident. Olegs Kozacenko suffers long-term physical and emotional injuries and is no longer able to work.

The guy is lucky he did not get a bullet put in his head for not complying. (snicker)
AZZHO'S When did this happen and what do we know of an outcome. I cannot believe that officer is still out there working. Good God, what has to happen for this kind of thing to stop? I'd feel safer in Russia!
The problem I see here is the corp employing them then is punished. Getting it in place would be difficult I think. If people discuss and acknowledge CAFRs would seem to help.
I understand your concern, but it is not much different with what we have now, where many private business lobby our government to get a piece of the pie via contracts and other sweet deals:
The Number of People in Private Prisons Has Grown By 1,664% in the Last 19 Years
Quote:
In 1984, the U.S. began its ongoing experiment with private prisons. Between 1990 and 2009, the inmate population of private prisons grew by 1,664%. Today approximately 130,000 people are incarcerated by for-profit companies. In 2010, annual revenues for two largest companies — Corrections Corporation of America and the GEO Group — were nearly $3 billion.
Companies that house prisoners for profit have a perverse incentive to increase the prison population by passing more laws, policing more heavily, sentencing more harshly, and denying parole. Likewise, there’s no motivation to rehabilitate prisoners; doing so is expensive, cuts into their profits, and decreases the likelihood that any individual will be back in the prison system. Accordingly, state prisons are much more likely than private prisons to offer programs that help prisoners: psychological interventions, drug and alcohol counseling, coursework towards high school or college diplomas, job training, etc.

Agreed. He should be charged with attempted murder like any other civilian would.
When police break the law they should face civilian court, not internal investigations. I do not understand why we treat police like they are above the law.
Disgraced Pennsylvania judge Mark Ciavarella Jr has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for conspiring with private prisons to sentence juvenile offenders to maximum sentences for bribes and kickbacks which totaled millions of dollars. He was also ordered to pay $1.2 million in restitution.
In the private prison industry the more time an inmate spends in a facility, the more of a profit is reaped from the state. Ciavearella was a figurehead in a conspiracy in the state of Pennsylvania which saw thousands of young men and women unjustly punished and penalized in the name of corporate profit.
According to allgov.com Ciavearella's cases from 2003 - 2008 were reviewed by a special investigative panel and later by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and it was found that upwards of 5,000 young men and women were denied their constitutional rights, and therefore all of their convictions were dismissed and were summarily released.
Police officers in the public are often the most dangerous people a person can encounter.
