So, you posted the article and made comments without reading the OIG report...
The trooper did the right thing - when he received the letter and the tickets he forwarded them to his supervisor, who sent the information up the Chain of Command. It is the trooper and his supervisor who are responsible for the investigation.
From page 8 of the OIG report on the investigation:
"We found no fault in the trooper's or his supervisor's actions. They correctly reported the incident to their superiors."
Care to reconsider your opinion of the Trooper in this matter?
The lottery guy should be canned, I agree, but the LEO did the right thing.
He should be commended, not suspended.
Absolutely. I relied on the stupid journalist before I read the report. See my posts # 13 and # 15.
