How a troubled Michigan cop moved from department to department, leaving scandal in his wake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2024
- Through the years, plenty of police departments were willing to hire officer Mark Aldrich. But today, not many were eager to explain why.
During a tumultuous career in law enforcement spanning four departments, Aldrich would be accused of dishonesty, road rage, engaging in sex acts with a woman he’d arrested and destroying evidence.

Just a dirty cop......A Liar with a badge.....he should never be a cop again.
If I was harassed by the officer I would get a hold of either the chief or the mayor's office
Happens all the damn time
@@jonahkasiborski1472 great !! So the police can investigate themselves ?
just one?
@@technodrone313 it can be any.
Don't call him a gentleman! He's a criminal.
It drives me crazy when they do that!
I said basically the same thing 👍🏻
a thug in blue with a badge
Troubled gentlemen!!@ wtf😮😮

This is why cops who get fired or resign due to misconduct should never be allowed to wear a badge ever again.
Nobody cares. I don’t mean that condescendingly i mean that realistically. There are plenty of corrupt cops in police departments, all across the states. ppl only care when it affects them. it’s an unfortunate situation because these professions should be held with the upmost integrity.
@@drehot118*Utmost, not Upmost
He took a car, sold it, and pocketed the money. How was he not arrested after his first job
He is a cop
The more you arrest cops the more people stop seeing them as law and order. So they allow them to get away with crimes to preserve the idea they are the good guys. They are not.
I don't care if he's a cop. His position as a cop does not justify breaking the law! If anything, his position is to be made as an example of the Law. Our town taxes should not pay for hypocrites! 🤬.
Professional immunity
And it needs to go
All those in the law profession police, lawyers and judges etc need to be made to take personal responsibility for their behaviour and not hide behind immunity
If there’s no personal consequences for bad behaviour, it will continue and in fact, get worse and that is what we’re seeing now
@@gc4161I get you are saying he got away because he is a dirty cop
"Asked him to resign". How about firing him?
Why, Gov Synder poisoned Flint and still no charges?
@@user-ss8iy2to6t When did he do that?
The reason they don't is POLICE UNIONS will SUE over any kind of firing no matter what & IF they are able to get away or win their case it becomes a HUGE HEADACHE & Liability with that city/town..NOT to mention they DON'T want the NEGATIVE press reflected badly on their departments...it's frankly easier for them to just let the person resign & its not their problem anymore...........
IT'S ABSOLUTELY abhorrent & nothing WILL EVER change until POLICE lose their QUALIFIED IMMUNITY & are PROHIBITED from investigate themselves when they commit unlawful acts.
I suspect it's because with a resignation they don't have to worry about retaliation from the police union
Police are inherently cowards and it takes courage sometimes to fire someone.
He didn't "slip through" the system, the system flung it's door wide open. Allowed to resign over and over. Allowed to get hired again and again. He should have been fired every time.
Exactly. Where is the actual accountability?
The story of a white man. Live life with impunity. There is no accountability what so ever.
The system gave him a coat and a different hat and a ride down the road to the next town.
They knew he was a bad apple and gave him a pass.
Just like many others in power. P Diddy
@@ronpetroski7203 you dumb F, Diddy is wealthy. You can't compare him to basic white cop, or can you?
This is what journalism is supposed to be about.
Investigate everyone who hired that man
This is a huge part of the problem. Bad cops hiring even worse cops.
Ya, the cop needs to go to jail and every person that was tasked with doing a thorough background check on the guy before hiring him needs to be fired for incompetency. They put the public in danger.
e174..The thin blue line needs to be renamed: The Huge Blue Eraser!
🙈😄😂 really
And there is the problem in one line.

Blame every Chief that hired him.
CHARGE the one that PERJURED himself!
This is what happens when states don't have a state agency that controls police training certification & investigation..
@solodad7999
This is what happens when revolution is overdue
I agree, however, don't these towns/cities have a HR Department, or hire an unbiased outside agency to conduct background checks...right ?!?
Blame the system
Make it so you can PERSONALLY sue these dirty corrupt cops. Stop using our taxes to pay for these dirty cops
Agree professional immunity has to go
Yes. Apply it to DAs and Judges who don't prosecute criminals who then go on to commit another crime. Probably should apply it to gov officials and legislators too.
As a CDL driver, I have to give 10 years of verifiable employment history but this dirt bag goes from town to town as a LEO.
This is why local journalism is an invaluable resource. They expose corruption in our community.
Most important journalism is local journalism
Not that corporate media crap they spew…….

Why isn't this man in jail?
Starting with the Ebay/car scheme...
Because then you can't see the evil the rest of the cops do
Thin blue line gang…
Because the chiefs know he'll bring down the rest of them. They don't act alone.
A righty thinks for the system not the individual. A righty will almost always conform to the system and cave in to authority. They're not so keen on our individual civil rights in courts either. Go vote 2024! This is human nature and is as old as time itself. Strength minded get in line with the system vs lefties that stick up for the individual. If you see this someday it was worth the explanation.
The chief needs to resign he is NOT OMNIPOTENT
Indeed!!
Good grief. The incompetence and lack of accountability is insulting to every tax payer!
The chief that refused to pursue charges for destruction of evidence should be charged as a co conspirator.
Naw, he's friends with the "city attorney".in my town he runs city hall,from the mayor,thru council..sad
Not in their eyes if you know what I mean 🤬
I don't care if he's a cop or who he has "ties to". His position as a cop does not justify breaking the law! If anything, his position is to be made as an example of the Law. Our town taxes should not pay for these hypocrites! 🤬
@@lotusluciditys3rdrealm
It all falls on .attorney, of that district..to seek prosecution?.maybe ur area is Clean; good luck
Bad DA in that county!
Why do they describe these thugs as "troubled." He should be described as criminal. The police chiefs should be charged with enabling this criminal behavior.
That Blue Line they live by is a division line between them and citizens. It’s nothing a buddy club that citizens pay for.
Right on!!
how often do we see bad behavior described as 'crazy' when jerk is more appropriate. crazy can't be helped.
It's they own color
Don’t just blame the cop but blame society and these blue lives matter people that insist on pushing this mentality that you need to support every cop. Some of these guys are dirty more than the criminals on the streets and should not just be supported blindly. You need to actually look at them individually just like you would look at any person individually. The fact he can get job/ after jobs in different city is exactly the problem with policing and why they’re filled with bad cops. Once you’re fired as a cop for incidents this serious you should never be able to work as a cop anywhere in this country.
He should be on a police red list instead of resigning and banned from working in any department. It's interesting how its a lot of empathy and compassion for a thug.
There is no such thing. If they had one they would be held accountable. Can't have that!
Thank you for exposing this corruption. 💪
Officers having the ability to delete body cam footage is in itself a total outrage. Policing in our country is a disgrace.
Agreed. I think that they should be livestreaming while on duty with the exception of restroom breaks. Any member of the public should be able to access their camera/profile while they're on duty and see what the officer is doing.
Exactly that's tampering with evidence.
@@victorcoleman949that is a terrible idea that would lead to the lowest morale possible and officers not doing anything. You would see the shortage of officers only become worse.
Qualified immunity makes them practically above the law
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 There's bad cops, doesn't mean the whole system is bad.
You like stereotypes and bias I see.
It sounds like there's more than one troubled officer in this story.
I agree !
True, so many covered for him and The Blue Gang Culture perpetuates this bad behavior.
@@10thmt87 They asked him to retire, when he deserved to be fired, and they falsified forms. The Thin Blue Line strikes again.
Thank you for pursuing the facts on this story. The crooked officer's history and the discharging agencies failing to state the truth about him is indicative of good reason to not place trust in our law enforcement agencies in general. It's a sad state of affairs.
Lots of crimes for one police officer.
It sounds like this reporter single-handedly stopped this bad cop from increasing his dirty deeds. Good job. This is what investigative journalism is about.
I find it troubling that so many officers are dishonest and corrupt. From the too down.

He got hired because he’s white duh.
👍🏼 ..150th like 😆 🎉
Imagine what they could do about criminals if they weren't bigots and shills.
Asked to resign?
The corruption runs deep.
All the way to the White House baby 😔
Seen it in corrections to.
Resigned in good standing too
Police should NEVER be able to police themselves. The thin blue line is just a smoke screen and line of protection for them.
Cops should not be able to refuse the questions of a reporter or citizen when the question directly relates to their job.
PURE LAZINESS. Takes 5 mins to review a background check. These chiefs don't give a crap about thier citizens safety. SHAMEFUL
He committed perjury, and only got a demotion. He should have been fired and prosecuted.
It’s not laziness, these departments record everything their officers do. That means they kept hiring him knowing full well he was a serial offender. It’s corruption not incompetence.
It's simply not true. The concerted effort to vilify the police and treat police officers badly, results in police departments having trouble recruiting good people. They have to settle for cops like these.
There is a big shortage in many places. The day when people desperately need police and there is mo one, people should remember how hard they worked to make sure to get to this point.
@@eternity7477 okay, officer. One of his bosses swore under penalty of perjury that he reviewed the records. He lied. Stop trying to justify unjustifiable behavior. Police are regularly earning the vilification they get.
The blue.protecting the blue
All of the chiefs who hired him should be dismissed without their pension
That’s not how that works. A ‘dismissal’ of said position doesn’t qualify the loss of one’s pension. Stripping a pension would require violating state statute (criminal code) and must be proven in the court of law. Research before commenting next time.
@@R.P.Ewe don’t care about the current rules that continue allowing this behavior to slip through the cracks. You missed the point entirely with your need to be right. There is an entire world happening outside of the limitations of science and the outdated and ineffective judicial system. Maybe think about this before commenting. 🙄
hahaha... good joke, its like thinking they are responsible for their actions!
Yep. . . except the first one.
@@JaspyBearWe have to care how the rules are enforced. His pension was part of his agreed upon compensation regardless of how badly he performed his duties. Moving forward, the state would need to amend their compensation package to highlight what constitutes "bad behavior" and loss of pension.
This guy sounds like he wanted to be a "Walker" lawman but was in reality a Barney Fife gone wild.
Thanks for outting this predator!
If these police departments aren't willing to uphold their oaths to defend & protect its citizens, even when they need to hold (their own) corrupt police officers accountable, then WHO SHOULD the public trust??
It's pathetic that this is what it takes to get the police to follow-thru on their obligations to uphold their oaths.
Journalists policing the police.
Perhaps, our town taxes should be paying you instead of the police department???
Thank you for your investigative work and due diligence in covering & following important informative news such as this cover story for the public.😍🎉
Anytime a police officer gets fired or forced to resign their police certification should be revoked
Why is that? You got some super power or whack job ideology that cops are some how a perfect place for employment? Ever see Suoer Troopers, the movie? That is exactly what real police departments are like. It's smoke & mirrors and a great snow job on citizens.
A good cop would never be fired for standing up to a group of bad ones, eh? *Comment is very assuming.*
Most prior employers will simply confirm that a person was a previous employee. Unless there is a disqualifying criminal conviction you won't find officers like this prevented from moving on to a new employer when they simply resign from their previous job
One would assume that should be the standard.
Good. But INADEQUATE. Permanent, ACCURATE NATIONWIDE DATABASE needs tp be maintained and updated regularly.
The thin blue line protected him and put the citizens in danger.
The problem with the thin blue line is that it has gotten so thin that it doesn’t even exist anymore.
@@DrakeSmith-tn6ijgood

A chief did not pursue a criminal investigation because he resigned? Any criminal activity would be investigated regardless 😠
It's wild how, even when they hate the guy, the chiefs will still allow him to move on simply due to some honor code where you NEVER pursue an investigation against a fellow lawman. It's almost like they all have done awful things during their duty and protect everyone out of sheer obligation to keep themselves safe.
There needs to be a national DO NOT HIRE law for officers who are caught breaking the law.
You're absolutely right.
for everyone, anyone who has an adult history of violence and temper tantrums
BUT DO NOT ASK WHY? BECAUSE YOU KNOW IS THE U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL SPECIFIED LAW CREATORS (AND FOR IT'S SELF EXEMPTIONS) THE ANTI-PROGRESSIVE CONNING OF CONGRESS. THEY ARE THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THEIR OWNERS WHO UNABASHEDLY BRIBE THEM!

@@OhNoMrBill they seem to not utilize said list
Once fired they should never be a cop again!!
He was never fired. He resigned before that ever happened which happens all the time with bad cops. He is one out of thousands of bad cops that do this.
It depends on what they were fired for.
The chiefs know that, that’s why they ALLOW them to resign, so they don’t have the stigma of having been fired, this way the corrupt officer can still be rehired by another department.
..and he was "askedc to resign when he should've been Fired. @@vietman79
Exactly i guess the chiefs don’t care until their department is affected. It comes down to eff the citizens we swore to serve and protect.
"...slip through the system"

Allowed to resign! That's the key! No PD wants to take responsibility for allowing this guy to continue to police! He's a criminal but police chiefs won't prosecute him! You have to wonder how Lake Orion thought it was appropriate to demote a police chief who is a proven liar!
Because if you fire, then you get sued, or their union forces you to retain them.
@@glee21012 Bingo! It's far easier to let him resign and allow him to become another agency's headache. Why waste city tax dollars on arbitration and litigation and even risk having to hire him back with a huge settlement? These shenanigans happen every day across America especially now when it's tough to find anyone that even wants to be a cop.
If cops hold cops accountable for their misconduct, it means they too might be held accountable for their own actions one day. Police cannot police themselves and be expected to act appropriately. This is not an isolated incident, it's the norm. When police are allowed to resign instead of being charged with felonies and having their certification revoked, the police are placing their own interests above the communities they're supposed to be protecting.
@gr33dyglutton 💯. The fact they are also protected by qualified immunity is also the biggest factor of why police never are held accountable on almost all cases.
@@glee21012yes. And the politicians, both conservative and liberal NEVER stand up to the police because they're terrified of being labeled "soft on crime", and unfortunately, we have a large portion of America.erica who blindly supports the police and who swallow that "soft on crime" BS
Police chief should resign. All of them. You're putting the people you are designed to protect in jeopardy by hiring this immoral individual
They don’t care about the people that has been clear for decades, courts have ruled cops do not have to protect citizens or do their job
Not just designed to protect - PAID by taxpayer money to protect. That they stonewalled the reporter and refused to answer his questions is the ultimate insult.
I have the feeling he cares more about police ‘honor’ than police protection.
Cults do that, too, with the same kind of gross secrecy.
The police have no obligation to protect anyone.
That's because they are the same as him
Now this is REAL journalism! This is how it always should be.
Imagine moving all over the country to start new jobs all over the damn place instead of just being deceit in the first place so you can just stay at your job. Ridiculous.
These departments need to be held accountable for letting this guy resign rather than firing him. Good ole boys right.

@@son-in-law7372only the color matters
@@son-in-law7372 I smell bacon...🙄
Sadly bad cops just get hired on in other agencies regardless of performance issues or integrity issues. There’s a lack of accountability and due to staffing shortages most agencies will hire anyone that can meet the very minimum standards to be a law enforcement officer.
That could only be done in Federal court and they don't have civil lawsuits at the federal level. It's reasonable that any employee on any job has protection from frivolous lawsuits. The problem isn't immunity. It's the unions that protect the cops from having their immunity waived when they do something illegal. It should be simple. Cop breaks the law and goes to trial. If found guilty, immunity is waived and the victim can sue the cop directly without the tax payer footing the bill. But since immunity is rarely waived, everyone sues the city and the tax payer is the victim.
Exactly why people distrust the police .
Those Chiefs of Police put honest people lives in danger. Wow!

I'm going to disagree with you. Most public servants are NOT corrupt. The reason this is a story at all is that this corrupt dishonest cop is quite rare. If they were more common then this wouldn't be a story, right?? I wish corruption among gov't officials was extinct, but it's not. I know this disrupts your narrative of "all gov't is corrupt" but you're wrong, thankfully.
Unless cops like this are charged with violation of oath of office, they can just keep getting another job in the next town over. End qualified immunity now and hold bad cops like these accountable.
This has nothing to do with qualified immunity. Most of that stuff happened when he was off duty and is a part of his record. You should know exactly what "qualified immunity" means before you start just throwing around random phrases that sound good. If you did, you'd know that that isn't what happened here- what happened here is simply the next department either ignoring or not caring about his record, which actually contained all of these infractions.
Actually, the chiefs should be charged with conspiracy for protecting the officer as well.
If the police say.
They don’t know why.
Corruption is deep.
Love to see a real journalist being supported by his TV channel as it should be. Congratulations to this channel
All these chiefs should be fired, and most should be charged. Unbelievable.

The problem is that they are almost never fired, they are allowed to resign and so go into the next district or county and start over.
