A Philadelphia police officer was relegated to desk duty after getting caught on video threatening to impound a man’s car unless he bought tickets to a department fundraiser.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Chief Charles Ramsey ordered that Officer Matthew Zagursky’s gun be taken away from him after seeing footage of Zagursky’s actions during a traffic stop.





“You and your friend got any money to buy these thrill show tickets? Support your police department? Ten bucks each, man,” Zagursky tells the driver. “Either you buy these, or I take your car. ‘Cause it’s unregistered. Ten bucks each, man.”

1. The best justice money can buy.

His friends will tell him it's fine to do that. Just don't get caught.

2. True story - A cop stopped me once and I asked him why he stopped me since

I was not speeding and my car and papers were/are in perfect order. When he realized that I knew both the law and my rights he told me he was selling BBQ tickets. I told him I wasn't buying any and he should never try that with me again. I called the head of traffic (who happened to be a neighbor of a friend) and by evening it was on the news that the police were authorized to desist from stopping citizens to purchase tickets for police events.
