A federal prosecutor in Florida said “f–k you” to cops who stopped him for driving drunk – and another assistant US attorney in Texas exposed himself to a Tinder date, according to documents released Monday by the Justice Department’s official watchdog.
In the Florida incident, the unnamed assistant US attorney was stopped by local police for running a red light while driving home from a bar association Christmas party in the Miami area, according to an investigative report from the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General obtained through a FOIA request.
The cops determined the AUSA had a suspended license – and when they pressed him on the problem, he berated them and used his law enforcement position in an attempt to get out of trouble, according to the report.
“[Redacted] asked if they would really arrest an AUSA and challenged them to arrest him,” the report states.
“[Redacted] stated the officers have all the power but later they will not. [Redacted] said ‘f–k you’ to the officers, at which time he was placed in handcuffs,” it adds.
That prosecutor should lose his job. They must follow all laws to set a standard for civilized living. This should be required for any law enforcement job.
