A prosecutor plans to charge a western Wisconsin police chief with a misdemeanor for allegedly registering a tea party leader on gay dating, pornography and federal health care websites.
Monroe County District Attorney Kevin Croninger told The Associated Press he plans to charge Town of Campbell Police Chief Tim Kelemen with misdemeanor unlawful use of a computerized communication system Thursday afternoon.
Kelemen would face up to $1,000 in fines and 90 days in jail if convicted, but would still be able to stay on as police chief. Only those with felony convictions or misdemeanor convictions related to domestic violence are precluded from being police officers, according to the state Department of Justice.

Then, Luce started receiving calls and emails from gay dating, porn and health care websites, according to police reports and court documents. La Crosse investigators tracked some of the activity to a computer at Kelemen's home and the Campbell town hall, according to an incident report.

Luce has filed a civil lawsuit in federal court, alleging Kelemen stole his identity and that the overpass ordinance violates his free-speech rights. That case is still pending.

Sic the gays on him for this hate crime against them.... tying a disgusting TEA partier to the revered rainbow people!
Should be fired immediately and have his pension seized.
The people living in that town should do everything they can to get this loser fired from the police force. There is such a thing called code of conduct. He is expected to behave in a certain way as the top police officer in town.
Thanks for the posts/pings.

The Dem MO. Use the system and your position to harass someone, destroy their reputation and put their life and the lives of their family members in danger, you keep your job and benefits.
But, if you are a Republican and tap a foot in the restroom, have your reputation destroyed and get run out on a rail.
Police, like any large group, are not monolithic. Some are conservative and some are left-wing. Most of the ones I know or have known are right of center. Those who have to deal with reality tend to be.
I’d say the good folks there should be filling out any and all response and sign-up cards they can find with his info and mailing them.
a civil suit taking this little creep for all that he has is warrented...I hope it happens....
Very hateful. Something a sodomite would do and I don’t doubt for a minute the chief is one.
I live in virtually crime free suburbia. My neighbor is a cop and he's a great guy. We've never spoken about it but I think he'd agree with me that the police in my town and all around my area have taken on a sinister image.
They no longer wear a shirt and tie, they wear blue BDUs and combat boots. They no longer drive non-descript sedans, they drive huge SUVs or black sports cars which are designed to look badass. In a nutshell, they look like a military presence.
This is all image stuff, but the image they sent in the past was "I'm one of you, I look the same I just have stripes on my sleeves and a badge". Not the image is "I am scary and tough. Don't mess with me or you'll regret it." This isn't a good change.
I say my neighbor would agree because he chooses to still wear the shirt and tie, and though he is very senior and can pick his own patrol car he told me he always chooses the old fashioned white caprice classic and lets the young guys take the black Chargers with the lowered suspensions and the big steel bumper on the front. He doesn't care about looking badass and tough. That's the kind of cop I want. Seems they are getting rarer.
