Heard on Tape: Cops Trying to Fix Domestic Violence and DWI Raps
April 26, 2011
By Murray Weiss

The growing NYPD ticket-fixing scandal is about to get worse.


Thirty cops were secretly recorded during the massive probe, and what was heard on thousands of hours of tape goes far beyond just making traffic violations disappear for family and friends. Sources tell me what's yet to come out is potentially criminal conduct:

• Several officers allegedly tried to deep-six domestic violence incidents involving off-duty cops before police headquarters found out.

• Others allegedly tried to quash drunk-driving incidents involving their brethren.

• And still others were allegedly overheard making arrangements for and paying prostitutes.

If you read on, you find that the journalist is arguing that these are "great, fantastic"

public servants "sacrificing for the good of the city" -- !!

And, btw, about every rank is involved, including 4 Captains, 25 detections on and on!

The journalist says that only those "on the take" should be punished.

There's a long list of stuff overall -- "renovations to homes/repairs to cars" -- others

got money and tickets to sporting events evidently in return for fixing a speeding ticket

for a Yankees' exec.

A Manhattan police union delegate was found to have 240 tickets for 2010 season.

So many cases that they've set "threshold levels" for the corruption and "fixes" before

criminal charges will apply.

There have been about 40 arrests -- with NYPD dealing with about 500 cases.

1. It's about freakin time!

On edit: Yes, they justify crazy, crooked things thinking they're doing it "for the good of the city."
