NY: Father, son arrested in cocaine, heroin and oxycodone bust on Long Island

Joseph Fearon (white sweats, above), 40, busted w a lotta dope.  Also, his 23 year old son (do the math) Jasheme Fearon  was nabbed (red sweats).  Fine, upstanding New Yorkers both.

Please note that the WPIX-TV article from which my post was derived did not publish the photo (above) of the accused.    WPIX instead published a pointless stock photo of an unrelated apartment with no people in it.  You might ask why.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, Why Would They Do This? | Simple Justice

Cops conducted an illegal search of a house. So far, nothing new here. Cops found nothing. Still, nothing new. Cops decide to plant meth in the house. Interesting, but nearly impossible to prove. Cops get caught on their own dashcam talking about it. Bingo!

From Courthouse News:

A police car dash cam captured Santa Clara deputies plotting to plant drugs in a woman’s home after their first illegal search turned up nothing, the woman claims in court.

Allison Ross, who was arrested after the second search of her home, sued the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department, its crime lab, Sheriff Laurie Smith, and 12 of her officers, in Federal Court.

Someone always asks, can the cops be so stupid that they would forget there is video and audio running, and talk about it openly?  Well, apparently so, though the question isn’t necessarily about the degree of stupid as opposed to the degree of brazen.  Force of habit dies hard.
