I can't believe those cops didn't realize that there would be a hallway surveillance cam. Dumb-o!
They then lied about the ground to detain the perp and search his bag and find the gun. And got busted by the judge.
Standard cop procedure and fuck me! if I don't sympathize with them. They nailed a colleague of the dealers they were arresting walking around with a firearm and he should have gone down for plenty. They were just bending the rules a little to get the job done. But guys! Next time be smarter about it!
(And I'm sure that's what Her Honour said over sherry in the judge's lunch room to the other judges as well.)
