Not just the cops, the DA too..... Texas Rangers, FBI at Lykos’ office
Texas Rangers and FBI agents are questioning staffers at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
KTRK-TV reports the inquiry wants to know more about how District Attorney Pat Lykos’ office reacted to the grand jury investigating the mobile drunken driving vans.

Keith knows his stuff about the Harris County Precincts Constables. The last citation I received (knock on wood) was in 1998 on the West Sam Houston Tollway. I was doing 89 in a 55, so I deserved it. The guy that got me was named Lugo. Went to court to request Deferred Disposition. There were about 300 of us heathens in there. About 260 were dismissed because the officer failed to appear. Not Lugo. He was there for his 20 of the 40 remaining. Come to find out from a buddy with the HCSO that his subdivision (Copperfield btw, Keith) had off-duty Constables that patrolled their area 24/7 on contract. Lugo was one of them, at one time. But he was writing so may stupid moving violations to soccer Moms they had to let him go  Dude was writing 15-20 citations per 8hr. shift! Every shift.

The constables are pretty much shut down in Dallas County. They spent all of their time writing speeding tickets and amassed enough money to start their own SWAT and K-9. People got fed up with them and like Houston, there was a lot of corruption, which got them severely curtailed. They did the same thing is Florida and got shut down. They don't do anything the sheriff's office can't do and are pretty much useless in a metropolitan area.

I would think that maybe 20% of all cops are honest.

I would think that maybe 99% of all LEO's are honest. I know a bunch of them in various branches of LE, and they are all great folks. I've met a few I thought needed an attitude adjustment, but those guys are the minority, in my experience.

Most of the cops in the Terrell PD and the Kaufman County Sheriffs Office are grossly overweight. Don't see how they pass the physical requirements, if there are any.
Our local constable has had the job for about 40 years. Before that his dad held the job, for about 50 years.

Hey whats that? Another cop? Nope make that many cops and a mayor and staff. http://blog.chron.com/newswatch/2012/02/patton-village-city-officials-indicted-on-criminal-charges/In addition to the mayor, the indicted officials are: City Secretary Georgia Simons, Court Clerk Patricia Edmondson, and current and former police officers Kenneth McLin, Michael Seymour, William Martin, and Deangelo Lavergne.
Additionally, three other former police officers were charged with additional criminal offenses in surrounding counties.
