Intervened for son? Police officer in court
court
Within a few months, the third Salzburg police officer was on trial for alleged abuse of office. He is said to have stood up for his son at a traffic control and tried to persuade colleagues to take a milder approach.
Two police officers checked a young moped driver last summer because he is traveling very quickly. The lad, the defendant’s son, has neither a license nor a driver’s license with him, just photos of his cell phone. He calls the father, who also comes promptly to the checkpoint. According to the indictment, he shows the colleagues the ID card, so the post commander can be recognized, and says that a simple parking ticket would be enough instead of a complaint. In addition, you don’t need to put the moped to the test.
Colleague reports abuse of office
But the colleagues cannot be influenced. YOU put the moped on the roll and see that it otherwise reaches the permitted 45 km / h 77. The defendant is said to have been annoyed about this and said what kind of company the police had become – the gendarmerie would not have done that. The two police officers reported all of this. If they did not do it, they themselves would probably have committed abuse of office.
Recently, another Salzburg police officer was sentenced to a suspended sentence for telling a wanted person that there was an arrest warrant. The result of the trial against a drug investigator who is said to have incorrectly documented information about a large drug delivery is still open.
