For the first time ever, ABC15 has published a searchable database of all Arizona law enforcement officials tracked by prosecutors for credibility concerns, including past crimes, lying on the job, and other integrity issues.

The unprecedented database of the state's "Brady lists" contains 1,400 law enforcement officials.

Through a series of public record requests, ABC15 spent nearly a year requesting and organizing Brady lists from every county in the state. County attorneys maintain the lists in response to the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court case, Brady v. Maryland.

So basically a corrupted officer list. Does your state have something like this? I for one welcome this maybe police office will think twice before committing crimes and or lying on the job.

Just a few bad apples though

I misread that title and thought it was saying every LE official in Arizona was being tracked for 'integrity' concerns.

I mean, I was surprised when I was misreading it, but I wasn't that surprised.

See? It's not all cops, it's only 1,400 of them in a single state. Libs owned once again!

and this is only the ones on record for shit, which I imagine is not the case for most bad cops given that the police records are inherently controlled by the police and so most incidents are probably ignored or scrubbed on the record unless they're forced to by stuff like video evidence

The brady list is one of the few effective ways I've personally seen keep bad cops fired. It may not prevent them from moving jurisdictions but it really helps the terminating agency uphold the firing.

They should be state mandated and open to the public like the sex offender registry.

Great idea. We've gotta keep advocating for this and tell their terrorist organization union to fuck off.

Maybe think about why there has to be a liste like this?

What percentage of officers is that? Seems like a big enough number for a state, like a significant percentage? I kinda figured past crimes should really put you out of contention to join/kick you out if you're already a cop, surely?!

We have the same thing in MA. Officers on the list are considered untrustworthy witnesses by the DA:

If you can't be trusted to be a witness why are you allowed to still be a cop? I know the answer, but ugh.

10% is certainly not a small amount. So when they have these massive call to arms cos some black guy looked at someone funny and 20 cops pull up with guns at least 2 of them are likely to be dodgy and shouldn't even be on the force. It's disgusting.
