☆ Probe Into Dozens of Connecticut State Troopers Finds 7 Who 'May Have' Falsified Traffic Stop Data
  + stars: | 2024-02-01 | by ( Associated Press | Feb. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
Many of the “over-reported records” in the audit were because of bad data entry processes, "rather than intentional falsification of traffic stop data,” said the report, commissioned by Gov. The investigators, however, also said they found “significant failures” by state police in reporting accurate traffic stop information to a statewide databased used to analyze any potential racial profiling by police. The audit said 130 troopers had been identified as having a significant disparity between traffic stop information submitted to the database compared with the court system. State police have been reviewing the traffic citation data. What we have seen is information that provides explanations for why some of the data may have been inaccurate.”

☆ Judge Rejects Connecticut Troopers' Union Request Bar Release of Names in Fake Ticket Probe, for Now

Media organizations including The Associated Press have requested the troopers' names. State public safety officials denied a request for the names by The Connecticut Mirror, which has a pending appeal before the Freedom of Information Commission. The judge said the union could appeal to the courts if the commission orders disclosure of the names. The union asked that the troopers’ names not be released until investigations are complete. The union says releasing the troopers' names before the investigations are complete could unfairly tarnish their reputations.

☆ Over 100 Connecticut State Troopers Accused of Faking Traffic Stops

On an unseasonably warm morning in February 2017, a 75-year-old white motorist was making his way north on Interstate 95 in Westbrook, Conn., when he was pulled over by a state trooper and charged with a traffic violation. That is, at least, according to a traffic stop report filed by the officer. But no ticket appears to have been issued. In fact, there may not have been any stop. State officials believe that the trooper was among more than 100 Connecticut state police officers who may have filed false reports of traffic stops in recent years, possibly to boost the internal statistics used to measure their performance.

☆ Connecticut police issued 26,000 fake traffic tickets that made them appear busier and skewed racial-profiling data, audit says
  + stars: | 2023-07-20 | by ( Mia Jankowicz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
It recorded at least 26,000 fake tickets over a five-year period, involving hundreds of officers. The figures skewed racial profiling data to appear like more white people were being stopped. One trooper singlehandedly logged 1,350 fake tickets between 2014 and 2017, the audit, released late last month, revealed. As a result, police skewed racial profiling records, making it appear that more white people had been stopped than was the reality, it said. It was unclear if the fake tickets were deliberately falsified or were the result of human error, it said.

The suspected gunman fired more than 80 rounds during the siege, the Office of the Inspector General said. The Office of the Inspector General said Sunday that it appears the officer's use of force was justified. The Bristol Police Union did not immediately respond to a request for its response to the bodycam footage.
