For Jane Castor and Little Fat Bobby

Jane, any more than your fricking dirty guilty mind cops are allowed to blockade my neighrohood BUT ONLY AS I DRIVE are they allowed to blockade the exit I always take on the interstate. All of this is intimidating behavior along with the zooming. How much mileage do you and fat Andy and Robert fat and slim REALLY think you will get out of this pack of losers who for the most part, are completely and summarily ignored for the trash in the street they are. Pigs and trash and troublemakers. Anyway, here's one for you. Keep your dirty cops watching your pool, if you blockade me again in order to intimidate me so I don't further report your dirty cops including the one who slithers up to black ladies house for some koochee koo in between their crack deals ... I will embarrass you. And degrade your repuration.

You don't see firemen out every night looking for fires or even acquainting themselves with each building in their area. These terminations will most likely get overturned - the discipline is not progressive and canning 77 years of experience is going to do more diservice than what they did. Demote and suspend the sergeant, suspend the deputies, dock everyones pay for the time lost. Reply 0 Jammin997 minutes ago Happens more than you think. I see a couple police cars sitting in the back parking lot of where I work for a few hours every other day here is St Pete and doing nothing. Reading the paper, dringking their coffee etc. Reply 0 porknbeans57 minutes ago No worries,if there were no criminal charges filed.So with that being said, I'll bet they get to keep that golden police certification.All these individuals/loafers/slackers will be back to work at another police/sheriff's department before I finish typing.The Criminal Justice and Standards and Training Commission won't lift that golden police certification.That department is no better than the officers in this story. Catbalou33 down below,don't get too upset about your neighbor.You will have another cruiser parked next door soon.It just might be one from another county/city,driven hundreds of out of jurisdiction miles to and from work. Reply +3 robert471 hour ago Seems like the Captain should have been fired also. Reply +4 Bagpiper2 hours ago Thank you Sheriff, about time somebody cleaned up the mess that Rice and Coats allowed to prosper. Go ahead people bring in Rice again and the sloths will celebrate. People should see this for what it is, a sheriff who is cleaning house even at his own political peril. Rice will use this against a man with courage to see that PCSO has been in decline for years. It is only recently that Gualtieri was in a position to take action and he has. You will not last here if your a bum under Gualtieri. Rice will bring in nothing but lazy good ole boys. Reply -1 All smiles2 hours ago Sounds to me like Hagans should be terminated as well! What exactly does he do 8 hours a day and where does he go? Hagans should be held accountable, who watches his GPS tracker? Reply +2 swift932 hours ago How many years has Gualtieri been with this department and he is only discovering these problems now? He doesn't deserve to be elected. Reply +2 Mr Lizard2 hours ago Um I'd rather they go hide out of sight. Instead of roving around like a predator looking for traffic infractions. In fact that's probably why they were fired. Poor revenue generation. Reply 1 reply+1 SmartiPantz2 hours ago Mr Lizard - I agree with not wanting cops roving around like predators. According to this article, these cops supposedly 'didn't patrol or initiate law enforcement work for hours at a time.' - - Didn't Initiate Law Enforcement Work!- - These guys shouldn't be roaming like predators looking for an arrest to generate revenue. I'm no fan of most law enforcers, and it's likely these guys were extensively loafing.... so maybe they deserved to be fired. I don't know the facts or the truth. The truth I do know is that myself and too many people I know have been the victim of a rogue cop who has an agenda of generating revenue.... and this should not be 'law enforcement'. The innocent victim/citizen then must participate in the sham by defending themselves in court. This is the evil side of 'law enforcement'. Reply +3 Observations and analysis2 hours ago No comments on what the guys with the 1 and 2 day suspensions did. Appears they were not part of the group of blatant slackers. IOW, they were not part of an organized effort to goof off. This is something different. Reply +1 WillB2 hours ago Not to worry, the sheriff hired 10 more to replace them, and their patrol cars will also be replaced by 10 new ones. Afterall, there's plenty still in the budget and if not, well, just raise everyone's taxes. Reply +2 hcb3 hours ago "The truth will come out in the end," said Theophilopoulos. "This is politically motivated, and it's nothing more than a ploy to divert attention and present the public with a facade that the administration is cleaning up a scandal-ridden department." One would hope one's lawyer could come up with a little better public statement than one trying to divert attention by saying the rest of the department is "scandal-ridden." However, the "warning flags" Gaultieri mentioned did not include donut stops. Clearly the GPS trackers were disconnected when the cruiser was at Dunkin' Donuts so, for a thorough investigation, subpoena the security video tapes of those places to match to the times the GPS things were disconnected. But - Theophilopolous - here's an idea you might try. They weren't loafing - they were conscientiously saving the taxpayers gas money and reducing the department's carbon footprint by not driving around aimlessly looking for somebody to arrest. They were carefully studying the subtle nuances in the different aromas of growing marijuana and blooming marigolds. Think outside the box, lawyer. Accusing the department of being "scandal-ridden" is so Bush league. Ya know? Reply +4 desert scorpion3 hours ago Wow, this is pale in comparison to what the deputies do in Citrus county led by Sheriff Dawsy.. Circus county as it is known in some circles must have the highest percentage of dormant deputies in the state.... Reply +3 watches4 hours ago can we say "too little too late"? Gualtieri looks like he's scrambling to keep his cushy job by throwing the lower paid slackers under the bus. Reply +3 Boppy5 hours ago It appears no matter who serves as the Pinellas County Sheriff has and will have his hands full of internal problems. Such problems as these didn't happen overnight. It's probably not only the north county patrol squad who has indulged in these loafing practices. Incidents like this shouldn't cast a shadow on the law enforcement police officers who go out day after day and night after night professionally and sincerely doing their most dangerous task, however. Reply +4 ferris10 hours ago While the TBT is on a roll with reports about PCSO, why doesn't somebody down at the paper (with the exception of John Romano who should stick to writing about sports) investigate the relationship between PCSO and Dr. Cesar Lara - yea, that Dr. Lara. The TBT might find that it is/was an exclusive relationship that began while Gualtieri was the Chief Deputy; that it involved/involves PCSO contracting with Dr. Lara to treat PCSO employees for weight loss (and shutting all other doctors out because they were never given a chance to submit a bid); that the taxpayers foot the bill for this treatment; and that Dr. Lara has made the maximum contribution to Gualtieri's campaign. While I have no hard confirmation that my allegations are true (with the exception of the campaign contribution), I can't think of any good reason why numerous PCSO employees would make-up such a story. And if these allegations are in fact just that - fact - then they are certainly worth investigating and reporting to the taxpayers of Pinellas County. Reply +2 Stacey Pugliese13 hours ago I would not vote for a person that did such a sham. He is making the taxpayers into fools. He did this to win over votes. This man was in officelong enough that he could of brought this to light earlier and if anything he should of went about this another way. I will not vote for such a con artist, he should be the one being investigated. This man is UNACCOUNTABLE. Reply +1 catbalou3313 hours ago One of these officers is my neighbor. He is a wonderful person. It was heartbreaking watching his cruiser being taken away from him today. He just lost his wife a few months ago. My heart goes out to him and his family. I guess I find the sheriff at fault here too. I mean what kind of sheriff allows something like this to go on for 5 months? Why wasn't it addressed right away? Why wait and fire them, why not address it immediately? They could have given them disciplinary action immediately, to give them a chance to correct themselves BEFORE it got to that level? Seems crazy to me. Reply 3 replies+4 EyesOverPinellas12 hours ago Wait a second ... you feel bad for the cop who defrauded the taxpayers but blame the sheriff? Lady, your priorities are out of whack. It's heartfelt he lost his wife but that fact is irrelevant. A "wonderful person" does not defraud the taxpayers. These cops had many years with the Sheriff's Department to "get it right," as you suggest. The investigation revealed this behavior was the norm for these guys and not a deviation. Try and keep a little perspective here. These aren't rookies. You're too close to the situation to provide an objective opinion, influenced and biased by your acquaintance to the man and belief he is "wonderful." Reply 2 replies-2 catbalou3312 hours ago You really have ZERO clue as to my priorities. A good person isn't perfect, WOW I would hate for anyone to watch you for 5 months and see what they decided was your fate. How someone performs at their job, doesn't make them less of a person. I will not presume to understand why people do what they do. Mostly I judge people on what I see, my neighbor is a good person regardless of your opnion. There is one thing I am sure of, I am glad you are NOT my neighbor. Reply 1 reply+4 beakie3 hours ago Look at the bright side, your property value probably went up without that cop car parked on your street all day. Also, your neighbor will now be home much more often. Reply +1 JamesD14 hours ago The seatwarmer better fire everybody he can because pretty soon he will be the one on the receiving end of a pinkslip. Reply +7 Native Floridian14 hours ago They should be charged with grand theft. Since this is a crime committed as part of their official duties, they should lose their pension benefits as defined in the pension laws. Next, the sheriff needs to pursue with the state the removal of there certification as a police officer. Reply 7 replies+1 Ripper62214 hours ago If you get fired, you lose pension benefits.

They have to be convicted of frauduently obtaining state funds (and no, their hourly wage doesn't count). The SAO would never touch this case so there won't be a conviction. 0 Spock12 hours ago While it is a little different from loafing while employed in a non-critical public safety job, and I definitely don't condone what they did in any way. I don't think they committed a violation of any State or Federal criminal law, that I know of. I also think it is a bit harsh to lose one's pension over loafing. Fired...absolutely, but let's not forget that most of these guys have families depending on them and that they surely worked many years more than they loafed for those pensions. I'm far from a leo supporter or sympathizer, and perhaps these guys don't deserve their pensions, but not over loafing on the job. Especially since this and other recent PCSO investigations are obviously political moves. Reply 2 replies+4 EyesOverPinellas12 hours ago This dereliction of duty constitutes much more than mere loafing in the eyes of the military or LEO communities. Such behavior in this capacity speaks volumes of one's character. Reply 1 reply-1 Spock11 hours ago Very true, as I stated to begin my comment. I think their actions or rather in-actions are reprehensible as law enforcement officers. And it is a serious breach of the public trust, still it seems extreme to take away their pensions. Now the other deputies that actually broke laws to get convictions, I think their actions were more deserving of being fired without their pensions. Time should fit the crime, type of thing. Reply +1 honestwordssliceami­nute15 hours ago I think they should be charged. Reply -1 CoorCubbie15 hours ago is extreme loafing somewhat like felonious meddling?

When a police officer arrests a person for.... lets say for stealing a coke from a McDonalds, it is not because the officer made the decision to do so, it is because the McDonalds manager wants to prosecute. If the manager says I just want him trespassed, than that is what the officer does. Reply 0 patchvader15 hours ago "did not initiate any law enforcement work" is that like not seeking out targets of opportunity? At some point in time, the paperwork, court time, and hamster wheel repitition of a revolving door court system leads to futility. but citizens, fear not, there is an ex st. pete officer fresh out of an early forced secret service retirement who was a real dui rainmaker back in the day.

As well, this could just be guys that gualtieri doesn't like and HE saw the opportunity to cut ties. This reminds me of Roberto Bautiste's work in TPD IAD. With all the dirt TPD has on their hands he went after detectives for TIME CARD issues which seemed relatively minor. A detective needs time to think and mulll for God's sake (no I am NOT a detective) but now TPD is almost all dirty, all the good guys are gone. Soon the same thing will be true of Pinellas. I think Gualtieri probably needs to go. Reply +4 Hamburger Martyr16 hours ago Moderate this, Mother Times. Worthless rag. Reply -6 NewzKnight16 hours ago ...extreme loafing and idling?

You literally try anything and everything that is negative in an attempt to tie it to him somehow. I can't call it pathetic as much as it is depraved.

The incident does just the opposite ... commands and attracts attention. For example, have a look at the number of comments and compare it to other articles. Good for Bob!

It will send a clear message to anyone else who may be sneaking along doing something similar that inactivity will not be tolerated. Good for the sheriff for conducting a thourough investigation and making the tough call to terminate employment for these men.
