I thought it would be nice to stray away from "EBOLA" for awhile, and talk about something else. Like our great city for example. As Taylor Swift sang, "Welcome to New York!"
However, unlike her song, you aren't greeted with smiles and lights. Rather; dirty streets and rats. Yup sums up New York pretty good.
But in all honestly, like every other great state, NY has an abundance of police officers. I guess not all police officers are perfect, as we aren't perfect people. Makes sense to see them make a small mistake once in a while. However when you are bribing law enforcements for confidential information; it doesn't count.
Joseph P. Dwyer was often employed by defense lawyers to work on cases. However little did anyone know, he repeatedly paid police sergeant Ronald G. Buell to give him confidential law enforcement database to obtain personal information about potential witnesses.
How did they managed to do this? According to the article, "In a 2012 case, for example, Mr. Buell gained access to the database, which is called the National Crime Information Center and is run by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and obtained personal details about a defendant in another case, the complaint said."
Both men are charged with one count of participating in a conspiracy to commit bribery and use of federal database without authorization.
Until I read this, I didn't realize they things people with authority could be doing right now behind our backs. They can bend the law, prison the innocent and free the guilty, all without anyone knowing. Of course, until they get exposed. But that often takes a few years after the committed crime. I am also very upset to hear it being one of our very own. I personally love New York and to hear this happening is pretty upsetting. On top of that, if someone as high up as a police Sergent can do something like this, then who can we really trust?
