Apparently, Perjury Isn't a Crime When Police Commit It

by Will Grigg

Last October third, a Salt Lake City SWAT team, working with a federal Drug Task Force, kicked in the door of a 76-year-old woman.

As is so often the case, it turned out that the raiders had attacked the wrong home; the target was the house next door, where a police informant had allegedly conducted a controlled drug transaction. An internal review learned that officer responsible for the raid, Detective Cooper Landvatter, falsified information in the affidavit filed to obtain the warrant. What this means is that no probable cause existed for a SWAT raid against either home.

Landvatter, who said that he was under pressure to meet a “quota” of drug busts, had misrepresented critical facts to the judge who issued the no-knock warrant. The detective claimed to have witnessed a cocaine deal at the house, but later admitted that he lost sight of the alleged transaction. He also altered other key details in his affidavit.

In what we are supposed to consider an act of punishment, Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank imposed a 20-hour suspension on Detective Landvatter. However, the officer faces no further disciplinary action or criminal charges for committing perjury and abetting a home invasion that terrorized an elderly woman.

192184 Cops do this everyday in Amerika. Deputy Spencer Case, of the alpine County Sheriff's Office in Markleeville, California presented an affidavit for warrant to a judge in 2005. The ENTIRE affidavit was a complete and utter falsification. I was speechless when the warrant was served. Fortunately, the pigs found NOTHING because no crime had ever taken place. However, the cops stole a bunch of stuff and threatened to have CPS take the kids. This was in a small town. In the big cities, this happens on an hourly basis. I am friends with the local prosecutor. He says that he questions the validity of EVERY affidavit because he knows that these guys are pathological liars.

@192184, cops have to lie, because laws are lies. if you want them to be more honest, start with the laws they enforce.

if you're from california..... well, the church was considering using california for "life-by-comparison," rather than hell, but, the politicians here wanted copyright royalties for the brand.
