To Protect and to Serve II

In a September 2019 email to the HR department, Humphrey addressed the matter. “I find it very concerning that everyone who files a harassment complaint against Lt. Plummer … is accused of being insubordinate,” he wrote. “Employees at LRPD, especially of color, feel that as though they are being disciplined for reporting bad behavior.” (I confirmed that at least two complainants against Plummer were themselves threatened with discipline for insubordination.)

Three days later, Plummer showed up at Humphrey’s office with an FOP representative. She said a source told her Humphrey was unhappy with her performance. “I hadn’t told anyone else about that email,” Humphrey said. “Which means someone in HR improperly leaked its contents to Lt. Plummer.” After the encounter, Humphrey asked HR if someone had told Plummer about the email.

I'm here to correct you, sort of...

In Georgia, an arrest warrant also serves as a search warrant for the address listed on the arrest warrant. So, if we have a warrant for John Jones at 123 Any Street, and we go to 123 Any Street to arrest him, then the arrest warrant gives us authority to enter the residence to search for him.

But if we go to his Mom's house next door at 125 Any Street, we have no right for non-consensual entry and search. Note that there are exceptions. If we know him by sight, and saw him run into Mom's house, then yes, we can enter. But I prefer to set a perimeter and get a search warrant for Mom's house. That's just me. At that point I'm probably going to use the guys in tactical pajamas, so it's best to check all the boxes in case it goes bad.

Again, this is Georgia. It's likely that other states have different rules.

Thank you for clarifying that for me.
So do they write most warrants for person and address? We had a sheriff show up at our door with a warrant for a person at 400____ ____ blvd. That is a non existent address. I felt bad he had wasted his time. Our block begins at 402, apparently someone was being slick.
How do you verify valid addresses?

Each agency, I'm sure, has it's own policies and procedures for warrant validation, application, and execution. I can only speak to that of which I know. So there's my disclaimer.

Each arrest warrant includes an address for the suspect, if known. If not, then we leave it blank. Sometimes we use the L/K/A, Last Known Address. The address can be obtained from a number of sources, and I'm not going to get into details here for obvious reasons. But we (my agency) make every effort to get the actual address where we believe the suspect is residing at, at the time of the warrant application.

So yes, we make every effort to confirm, and then validate the address. Believe it or not, Google Earth is a great source for making sure the address actually exists, as well as county tax records. We routinely receive civil process and warrants from other agencies where we look up the address on their paperwork...and it doesn't exist. We simply mail it back with the standard "Address Does Not Exist" stamp, and leave it to them to correct their mistake. If it's a felony warrant, we might contact the originating agency to see if we can help them figure out the correct address, but they still have to amend and forward the corrected warrant.

"Wrong address" warrant service can...and has...resulted in tragedy. We make every effort to make sure that the door we knock on, or down, is the right one. As a result, it's been a long time here since we went through the wrong door. The Devil hides in the details. Get 'em right, and there's less chance you end up on the 6 o'clock news trying to explain your f*** up.

Hope this helps.

Yes. It filled in the blanks for me. Ty.
FWIW thank you for your time on the job. Be safe in your new role. I believe good cops make up the majority of police forces. I feel like Georgia is losing a fair officer.

And if that sort of thing gives any of them a thrill, that's what the FBI would call a "clue". Morbid curiosity is one thing. That crap is on a whole 'nother level, IMO.

And no, I never kept any photos I took. Took me long enough to get some of them out of my mind as it was. No need to prolong the process with photos on my phone. Any photos I took were to preserve the scene as I found it, and once they were transmitted to the Investigators phone or email account, I deleted them right then and there. Even the "funny" ones. It's one thing to do your job. And it's a different thing entirely to rob someone of what may have been the last shred of dignity they had. In life, or in death. Matters not. Wrong is wrong. Even if you have the "right" to do it.

Integrity is what you do when no one else is watching you. Lord knows, I've made my share of mistakes over the years, but almost all of them were honest, and stupid ones. Believe it or not, I'm kinda proud of that.

Go Vols.

No problem with the verdict but how can you be found guilty of first and second degree? Shouldn’t it be either or? Same thing I wondered about in the George Floyd verdict.

If I had to guess it would be that the law there allows them in the alternative so that if an appellate court says the evidence did not support first degree then the second degree may remain intact.

Daunte Wright had led a life of crime and violence in the years before his death, DailyMail.com can reveal

But for some, Wright's death is a reminder that he will now never be brought to justice for the pain and suffering he caused his victims.
