Troopers say Harrell ...

There is no such thing as ''bad apples'', police are the same everywhere. It's just the nature of the profession.From the Tulsa Whirled:TAHLEQUAH - A former law officer who is awaiting federal sentencing for extorting cash during traffic stops has now been accused of impersonating a police officer during a float trip on the Illinois ...

We have a new police brutality poster child:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KluItc365hUOHP had to attack an ambulance crew for people to notce they have a problem!

Passed by both the Oklahoma house and senate, Senate Bill 1102 would require DNA to be collected from almost anyone at the whim of police.Currently, only convicted felons have their DNA harvested, but this overreaching law would allow  people simply arrested on bogus charges like ''resisting arrest'' to surrender DNA without any due ...

Fox23 did a story on the OHP trooper that beat up a handcuffed woman, but it's nowhere on the website.  But here's the story from the paper:http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&articleid=20090507_11_A9_HENRYE601012&archive=yesThe beating happened in November, but OHP is just now talking about it.  Apparently ...

FOX23 did the story but it isnt on the website yet.Seems a TPD reserve cop took some shots at some burglars that kicked in his door (which sounds like a step in the right direction IMHO) but might be in trouble because he kept on shooting at the suspects as he chased them down the street.The ''make my day'' laws allow you to use that kind of force ...

Now that Tulsa is buying e-Citation equipment (from money taken away from things like road improvement and crime labs) police can write four obscure tickets in the time it took for one!!

Dont you just love the slant some of the stations give to police reporting?Last night a speeding police car broadsided a family in a pickup, and after you have read about how the officer had a bloody nose do you get to the bottom of the story where it mentions the three kids and the wife transported to the hospital.Sort of lopsided, I guess, but ...

My condolences to your family on your lost loved one.I think you are right, in that repeatedly writing citations and collecting revenue from violators isnt going to change anything among the worst offenders.  Unfortunately,  what the OHP is proposing is mostly about collecting fines rather than modifying behavior, so it would likely not ...
