Again in Georiga,corruption at it's worst. The 70 k should be used for training of all the officers that that are involved in questionable arrests , and use of excessive force.
1.6 billion dollars seized from SUSPECTED drug dealers. Yeah, all a cop has to say is he suspects you of dealing drugs & take everything you own even if you don't have anything to do with drugs.
Should hold the money in trust for the lawsuits they have to pay out. The City Manager has to be on the take or brain dead. Amazing what people will pull out of their asses to justify idiotic/corrupt/questionable decisions.
I was working Malibu when the DEA caught 4 Columbia Nationals at the Safeway at Cross Creek and PCH. The Columbians had $4M in cash. In exchange for keep the money, the DEA just deported them. Happens all the time.
Love how the sheriffs spin it into that they are going to use it for charity & undercover ops instead of just saying the sheriff is a crook & stole the money for his personal dream car! Gwinnett is one of the most blatant corrupt places ive ever seen! Very stupid, bold & immature purchase! Hes flashing it around too without a care in the world! Hope the attention it receives lands him in prison where he belongs! And police wonder why snipers are camping their stations!
Beverly Hills PD would roll over their cars at 30K miles. Mexico would buy them. The Sheriff's Dept, on the other hand, keeps their cars for well over 100K miles.
In Kentucky, all money, property, etc...seized in drug busts HAS to be used for drug prevention, not for "toys" for the department. This car is NOT going to save lives, how can it???? That is about the dumbest thing I have heard out of anyone's mouth in a long time.
Our tax money did not pay for the car. Our tax dollars pay for every light and siren package for every police car and drug money for pictures usually always pay for the vehicles themselves so there's nothing different in this situation aside from the fact that it's a little bit more expensive. So you're shaking your damn head because they're using your tax dollars to pay for lights and sirens that cost exactly the same as putting lights and sirens in any other police car? Smdh
It's not tax money, it's cash & property taken at gunpoint under threat of lethal force & possible kidnapping (arrest) from alot of innocent people that were not charged or convicted of a crime, who got caught driving thru their county with the belief that they were still in the U.S.A. & that the 4th would apply.
Pharmacists are drug dealers, technically. The police are abusing their power when they steal money & property from innocent people they never charge or convict of any crime. To call the stolen funds "drug money" is laughable.
I know of law enforcement agencies that are still driving 8 year old crown vics because they have no money to replace them. So blow 70k on this charger and do smoke shows and take it to the drag strip....yup makes a lot of sense.
People won’t understand unless they are car enthusiasts,plus with the millions of dollars in drug money they get this is like dropping a penny so it really doesn’t matter
To the news channel did they buy this car with drug money? Or did they forfeiture the money from drug dealers and then buy the car or did they get the car from a drug dealer? And I'm not cool with them spending $3,300 on horseshit flashing lights and what not
your going to have da chief's "daily drive" AND also used in such "events" that could be taken out of commission (a fan belt snaps) what is da chief going to do then
Vinisky I think most sane ppl would take an M3, Tesla or a Lexus RC. 70k for a hillbilly brand with ATROCIOUS resale is not for those with intellectual honesty and class in life.
well, he did get a good price. I think they are limited so he got one a citizen would have wanted but would have to pay a mark-up to a dealer. also it's not drug money, It's county money once seized.
Seized? More like stolen from lots of innocent people never charged or convicted of the "suspected" crime that police claim would warrant seizure of their property.
@@saintann5684 oh, they don't bother charging folks anymore. That'd require officers to conduct lawful searches so that property seized as evidence was admissible in court. They'd have to write up detailed, factual reports & testify under penalty of purjury as to the validity of their accusations. No, charging folks with crimes eats up valuable cash-grabbing time. Locking dealers up means less folks on the street with large sums of cash to seize (steal). That's no way to fight crime!
Lol for the beat the heat event, well dumb idea there… That’s the worst pick for that race, because it’s a dig race, meaning for a stand still, even with slicks it’s gonna make them look like dipsh*ts. When some kid in a evo or rs3 gaps that dodge
I think that Officers Deserve Cars with that much power and AWD and a bigger fuel tank. Those Hellcats Drink a ton of fuel with that Supercharged V8. Put like a 36 gallon tank it them. And make some marked units and unmarked units.
Policing for Profit.
It's great when Police Departments bend the laws to suit themselves.
I know right
Again in Georiga,corruption at it's worst. The 70 k should be used for training of all the officers that that are involved in questionable arrests , and use of excessive force.
Civil forfeiture of “suspected” drug money is a prime example of taking property without due process I.e. unconstitutionally.
1.6 billion dollars seized from SUSPECTED drug dealers. Yeah, all a cop has to say is he suspects you of dealing drugs & take everything you own even if you don't have anything to do with drugs.
It’s okay when the cops break the laws for themselves. Right?
What a waste. That lady has the same mentality I've seen before from government people who love to spend money that's not their own.
Who cares,they are the law they suppose to treat them self with confiscated drug money...
Sounds like he living out his dreams 😂😂
Should hold the money in trust for the lawsuits they have to pay out. The City Manager has to be on the take or brain dead. Amazing what people will pull out of their asses to justify idiotic/corrupt/questionable decisions.
Corruption at it's finest 👌

Of course that female cop doing the interview is going to agree with the sheriff of buying it because it’s her boss she doesn’t wanna lose her job
This department is off the chain!

could have bought four late 2000s used squad cars with 50k miles or so on each and outfitted them for that price
Beverly Hills PD would roll over their cars at 30K miles. Mexico would buy them. The Sheriff's Dept, on the other hand, keeps their cars for well over 100K miles.
And there you have it, cops covering for cops doing underhanded shyt. He's "fiscally" responsible, but blows $70K on a car for what?
He lied, never had intention to use it for anything covert. He brought him self a toy, with federal funds and well crafted wording.
The sheriff is not as corrupt as his wife, judge Carla Brown!
70 thousand in constitutional law training would be money well spent. The car totally unnecessary!
I’ve never heard of an active sheriff being involved in high speed chases….he did not need this car.
Stop being jealous
Wow talk about slapping people on the face. The Sheriff thinks people are dumb and will do what ever he wants.
That's nothing. Sheriff Baca bought a new plane for $2M without approval from the County.
yep, we just saw how financially responsible sheriff Conway was....thx, dont want to know him better.
In Kentucky, all money, property, etc...seized in drug busts HAS to be used for drug prevention, not for "toys" for the department. This car is NOT going to save lives, how can it???? That is about the dumbest thing I have heard out of anyone's mouth in a long time.
How about using $70,000, to train officer on the public's constitutional rights.
U jealous,stop being jealous😂😂😂
“Sheriff Steals Car” is your title. Really, there isn’t a single sheriff in America that isn’t a sociopathic criminal. It is an obsolete job.
Hazzard County and Boss Hogg with zero accountability...zero.
I only problem is the office should have got a Ferrari' which is absolutely necessary for real police work.
That 1.6 billion is in civil forfeiture. A big portion of which is people never charged with a crime.
Just curious. What does the average cruiser cost? Lights, "pursuit package "ect?
Put someone in power, to see what their true nature is like!
So to discourage kids from dragracing you take them dragracing? This is a total misappropriation of intended forfeiture funds.
like most people he is frugal except when he wants a new toy.
He just looks like old man going through a mid life crisis.
Just another corrupt cop.
That sounds extravagant to me😒
Im sure we can find something better to spend our tax money on..smdh

@@mistresskeke - So I take it, you're for drug dealing?

He use drug money that was confiscated by his department to buy himself a gift that’s really fucked up, and criminal
This is ridiculous. How is that even justifiable
They were ordered to return the money $69,000 they wasted, their response. "We have not responded to that letter, we are exploring all are options."
HMMM, looks like crime does pay.
we investigate ourselves and we didin t do anything wrong
I don't think they should be allowed to use the money anyways policing for profit I think the money should go to homeless veterans
Orrrrr maybe, it's used as a pursuit vehicle to not let that guy that is shooting at police and murdered 3 people get away...
I know of law enforcement agencies that are still driving 8 year old crown vics because they have no money to replace them. So blow 70k on this charger and do smoke shows and take it to the drag strip....yup makes a lot of sense.
Absolute waste of stolen money!
Road pirates.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 corruption taken to a different level.
In Atlanta you'd thunk the police would drive hummers an lambbos...
You've abvioisly never been to atl
it's only double the price of a standard patrol car.. big deal..
It's actually 5 times the price. With the money spent they can get 5 new basic cars hahahaha
People won’t understand unless they are car enthusiasts,plus with the millions of dollars in drug money they get this is like dropping a penny so it really doesn’t matter
So if it wasn't for drug dealers he wouldn't have the car.🤔
I think you need to verify its only from "Suspected Drug" dealers. Review their civil forfeiture procedures?
I could send people to medical school without the college loan thing with 70k.
Shouldn't him use this money to give a better training to his cops?
Another cop crook.
It's bad enough 250,000$ in overtime to one of them.Get away with whatever.Its all a joke all the way to the top.
Suspected ???
We Protect and Profit! I say let his wife, Judge Carla Brown, rule if he should keep the car or not!
I can’t believe this happend
is this a joke
WOW I MISS GWINETT COUNTY😉
To the news channel did they buy this car with drug money? Or did they forfeiture the money from drug dealers and then buy the car or did they get the car from a drug dealer? And I'm not cool with them spending $3,300 on horseshit flashing lights and what not
Wow that's crazy
This is a attraction. This is terrible
your going to have da chief's "daily drive" AND also used in such "events" that could be taken out of commission (a fan belt snaps) what is da chief going to do then
70k on a Dodge? A Dodge? Wtf?
Daniel B a legendary dodge. Brands domt mean everything
Vinisky I think most sane ppl would take an M3, Tesla or a Lexus RC. 70k for a hillbilly brand with ATROCIOUS resale is not for those with intellectual honesty and class in life.
Daniel B most people who get these caars domt care about resale
Again brands arent everything
Or re route that money to the communities
well, he did get a good price. I think they are limited so he got one a citizen would have wanted but would have to pay a mark-up to a dealer.
also it's not drug money, It's county money once seized.
Seized? More like stolen from lots of innocent people never charged or convicted of the "suspected" crime that police claim would warrant seizure of their property.
yea seized is a corrupt government term for steal so they can charge people for something while committing the same offense
@@saintann5684 oh, they don't bother charging folks anymore. That'd require officers to conduct lawful searches so that property seized as evidence was admissible in court.

No different in Barrow county
It all sounds really sketchy to me,also stinks like rooting fish!!!
They got lost drugs money cops get them off roads okay
Ha?
You could a car for just 20 k
😅
I think that Officers Deserve Cars with that much power and AWD and a bigger fuel tank. Those Hellcats Drink a ton of fuel with that Supercharged V8. Put like a 36 gallon tank it them. And make some marked units and unmarked units.
Fox 5 stop with this bs, by ur standards everyone should ride a horse and buggy
As long as its not a red eye.
Good buy
So you’re running out of interesting stories?
The sheriff is a scammer
