The Times News this morning published an article about two state troopers in the Lehighton barracks who flat-out lied about an arrest for drunken driving. They claimed they had performed sobriety tests and wrote a detailed report on the results. Fortunately for the man arrested, the dashboard camera showed no such tests had been given, and the officers debating who would get the credit for their quota.
Those officers should be terminated immediately and charged with falsifying evidence. The problem with that kind of behavior is obviously greater than the one incident. All the other arrests those officers made are now called into question. Other honest police officers are tainted as well, and any citizen pulled over will wonder if he or she will be falsely charged.
