IT'S GETTING HOT IN THERE

 
Honolulu Police Commission under fire:

Mayor Caldwell backs the panel, but an isle criminologist calls it "inadequate"

From trial reporting >

"Kealoha said he woke up one night and noticed his mailbox was missing. He said someone had been disturbing his home for about a year, throwing rocks at it, entering his garage, damaging his vehicles and shooting out his windows and front door. He said he didn't report the incidents at first because he thought he could take care of them on his own. Eventually, he installed security cameras. One day, when his daughter was in the home, he arrived to find the doors he had replaced had been shot out again. So he decided to start making reports."

Interesting guy. Shooting, throwing rocks, entering, damaging. But he'll wait to report and install cameras.

"He testified that he was on his way to go surfing the morning he discovered the mailbox was missing but decided to wait until he returned to tell his wife about it, who reported it to police." WAITING AGAIN!

"Kealoha said he reported the stolen mailbox to Deputy Chief Marie McCauley, who turned the case over to the Honolulu Police Department's Criminal Intelligence Unit. He said he doesn't know what happened with the case after that." Gotta love 'em. Once they get around to reporting, they really give it  their all.

I THOUGHT THE WEEKLY WAS A NEWS PAPER

In the Name of the Law: What the Public Isn’t Being Told About Police Misconduct:


Our analysis of HPD summaries found that about once a week on average a Honolulu police officer is suspended or fired for misconduct. Many of these violations include domestic violence, abuse of suspects, lying, falsifying records and even criminal convictions. They are not primarily minor administrative failures or heat-of-the-moment bad decisions as SHOPO suggested.

Richard Wayne Raquino

“A U.S. District judge sentenced a former Honolulu Police Department officer to four months in prison after he made false statements to federal investigators.

"Raquino admitted lying to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when he denied disclosing the identity of an undercover Honolulu police officer and the description of an undercover police vehicle and providing information and techniques on how to identify and evade police surveillance to a known drug dealer. The FBI had recorded conversations between Raquino and the drug dealer in which Raquino discussed those things along with other sensitive law enforcement information."

"Inciong said he has never heard of anything like this in all his years as a federal prosecutor here and on the mainland."

NO TALK OF PERJURY

[August 14, 2012]

Officers make deal on false-report counts http://bit.ly/QHzRxI

[The seven officers were accused of a practice known as "piggybacking," putting the names of as many officers on an arrest report as possible to increase the likelihood that all would be subpoenaed should the defendant challenge his arrest and charge. If they were called to court, they would be on overtime.

 

The city prosecutor's office said it was forced to dismiss more than 200 DUI cases because of the allegations that the officers falsified reports.]
