The new Detroit Police cars.
Some of the men in blue are in trouble.
George Hunter of the Detroit News reports that about two dozen Detroit cops are being suspended following a routine check of driving records.
"Mostly, these were for parking violations in suburban cities; one or two might be moving violations,” Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody told the News.
“None of these were criminal offenses, but it doesn’t negate the fact that officers have warrants out for their arrests. We obviously can’t have that.”
He added:
“We have policies in place: Anytime an officer has a warrant against him on this kind of issue, they’re suspended with pay until they pay the fines or get their licenses back. Once that happens, they’ll be brought back to work.”
It is not clear whether they will be suspended with or without pay, the Freep reports. - A.L.
