Somehow I knew it was this guy. He was the DARE officer in the 90s that would come to each elementary school in the district to tell us that drugs are bad. Oh yeah, and then there was the Federal charges against him.

Interesting. I live in Plum and his wife came to my house last week asking if we’d sign something for him to run for something. I wasn’t there and my husband is an independent so could not sign. I’ve heard several negative things about him so I would not have signed anyway. Maybe they were trying to get signatures before this hit the news?

I'm glad they didn't just drive him and his car home and pretend it was nothing. Sounds like he needs help.

I’m pleasantly surprised that he was charged by police in his own town

You along with probably everyone else in the department. Let’s see if the case moves forward and if there’s any accountability.

He'll be in the ARD program.

So glad he's still being paid his nearly $100k salary while they wait for him to have his court date... /s

>Because Schneiderlochner is charged with a misdemeanor offense, a mandatory suspension under the state’s Confidence in Law Enforcement Act does not apply, Thomas said.
What a joke.

Same cop was charged in fed court by the FBI

The article didn't mention that but I Googled his name and found these articles from 2005/2006:

https://archive.triblive.com/news/government-ends-case-against-ex-cop/
https://archive.triblive.com/news/suspended-plum-cop-wants-job-back/
Clearly he got his job back after the charges were dismissed.

What a great, upstanding guy. Glad he got his job back after being a peeping Tom on the clock!

A Pittsburgh cop left a bar in 2008 shitfaced, and pistolwhipped / shot a random guy on the street over some sort of perceived disrespect.

They're a state-sanctioned street gang that gets paid via your taxes.

Oh i remember that one, to this day that makes my blood boil.
Edit: oh yeah that’s good old paul, he made the rounds a few summers ago. What a great person to be representing our city!!!

Luckily he was actually fired a couple years ago, and lost all his appeals.

And a reminder to everyone that any fast food employee caught doing the same thing would be fired immediately, and THEY don't carry weapons.

Really? I’ve known several fast food employees who are convicted felons. DUIs are nothing as far as judges, prosecutors, and legislators are concerned. I’m surprised Arby’s would care much.
Your comments also points to the importance of labor unions.
GargantuanWitch t1_j9pw1wu wrote
I never said that a conviction would/should prevent you from getting one, I'm saying that being drunk and asleep ON the job means you'd lose that job.
I also never said anything about labor unions being bad, unless you're talking about the police, at which point I'd say that the police union exists solely to protect bad police officers and immunize them against repercussions for their bad behavior.

The police union is like the mafia commission as far as I’m concerned
MoDeRnDaYmOrOn t1_j9qiho1 wrote
Unless I'm missing something, he wasn't on the job. He was in a personal vehicle when he was picked up.
Doesn't change the fact that he's a dipshit who was driving drunk, but it does make a difference.

What happens if a drunk person has the engine on to stay warm, but is sleeping in the passenger seat? Could they still be arrested for a DUI?
LostEnroute t1_j9ov9gv wrote
Yes, I'm pretty sure that possessing your keys while being in your car is a DUI.
OlesLS t1_j9p31mj wrote
If you unlocked the car and left your keys hidden outside but slept in there would you be ok?
LostEnroute t1_j9p6m9k wrote
Cops can do whatever they want and arrest you, but I bet you could get out of that one in court.

Cops are supposed to know and enforce the law.
If they break the law, they should receive 100% of the maximum possible punishment. No plea deals or exceptions.
And I say that as someone who is pro-police.

Plum sounds like a terrible place. Weren’t a few of their teachers molesting students a few years back?

Lucky he didn't park it running in the garage. My son Nico just installed co2 monitors in our garages.
GargantuanWitch t1_j9ph1a9 wrote
The story is about a shitty cop who got drunk and was caught sleeping on the job and the first thing that comes to your mind is "I'm glad he's safe."
Wow.
Also, I hope your son also installed CO monitors in your garages, too, because those carbon dioxide monitors aren't gonna save your life.
duker_mf_lincoln t1_j9y7n1e wrote
Wow to you sir as well. Don't you want all humans to be safe? Listen, I know you do a lot of shitty things too in life, and I hope you are safe doing them as well. And yes, we have CO and CO2 monitors in the garages. My son Nico installed them.

At least he didn't make it home to beat his wife.
