A New Jersey state trooper allegedly threatened two women with fines and jail time unless they turned over their phone numbers.
For most people, the words "speed dating" refer to a matchmaking event where singles sit down with a large number of potential mates in rapid succession. For New Jersey State Trooper Eric Richardson, it reportedly involved threatening female motorists with tickets and arrest until they agree to go out with him.
On multiple occasions, the 32-year-old officer pulled over women for traffic violations, according to an indictment filed Thursday. The lovestruck lawman allegedly threatened the women with jail time and fines unless they handed over their phone numbers. Richardson then reportedly badgered the women over text in an attempt to start "an intimate relationship."
Richardson has now been hit with six charges stemming from these stops, including official misconduct, criminal coercion, and falsifying or tampering with records. If convicted, Richardson could face up to 33 years in prison and $350,000 in fines.

ReplyDeleteyou didn't say a WORD whenn the gestapo set up roadblocks to check your "papers" and see IF, MAYBE, someone who APPEARS totally innocent of any crime can still be stopped at gunpoint by armed men representing the government.
The "innocent until proven guilty" line is total BS unless it's a cop being charged. They (the police) robbed American citizens at gunpoint for over 6 BILLION DOLLARS --- just last year alone. No charges, no trial. They just take your money and valuables. Resist? You WILL be killed. By armed girlie boys using a badge to do what gangsters regularly do...
Innocent until proven guilty?
I can't even believe you said that.
The Golden state killer was a peace officer. Law enforcers arent excempt from being crazy. Some of the most sociopathic function "normally" in society by day and terrorize at night.
ReplyDeleteAnd police always get preferential treatment! They are all not saints
