Local cop (FL) suspended over unwarranted database searches.



OVIEDO, Fla. — A veteran Oviedo police office is on paid leave after he was caught searching law enforcement databases, looking for a woman he was interested in.

According to an internal investigation, Sgt. Dwayne Walker entered the Bank of America on Mitchell Hammock Road and flirted with one of the tellers -- even asking for her phone number.

Reports show the 13-year veteran then sat in his patrol car, in the parking lot, until the bank closed.

Records show he ran a search for the teller 19 times, including searching for her emergency contact.

You notify your commander first before you rifle through the database to stalk someone........every good cop knows that
