If the STL Police has nothing to hide, they should welcome an outside investigation. It would provide impartial confirmation that they have done nothing wrong, clearing their good name. On the other hand, if they have lots to hide, they would hire a private law firm who’s only responsibility is to their client – the STL Police. This way, they can provide well crafted, legalistic excuses for their behavior that cover the truth and protect the guilty.

The fact the STL Police have already hired a lawyer to ‘investigate’ (defend) these actions proves the PD thinks there is something to hide. An outside force (like the FBI) should be brought in to investigate.

Oooooops! Does this mean I get a refrund from Metropolitan Towing for the $550.00 fee I recently paid to get my Toyota out of their storage yard?

The City of Saint Louis has a Towing service already manned by City employees and that money should go directly into the general revenue.Since the budget shortages are why Mayor Slay’s Administration claims is the reason for the failure to deliver the City employees their raises. This will generate several million dollars and allow those hard working City employees a much deserved raise! And certainly allow people to find their cars easier. The FBI should investigate.

Yes, on this and other things. This is the third or fourth issue with this dept. where police personnel have been found stealing, selling contraband, or whatever. Its always dimissed. We need new people there starting with the Chief of Police. How can we ask people to move back to a city that is protected by criminals?

They should be investigated by someone. There is not a department in government that should be running without someone looking after them. There is corruption everywhere in government. As long as people are given power to help a relative or friend out, they will. The thing to say is,don’t tell anyone. The problem is that the guy you told is telling someone the same thing after he passes the story. Why do we wait to let something happen before we send someone in to check it out.

Let’s see - world series tickets and now cars. Time change these items must the the 21st century apples.

An independent review is never a bad thing. How can you argue with that?

Well no, the Feds don’t need to investigate anything. Either make the chief and/or his daughter repay the total amount owed to taxpayers, or if they refuse, prosecute both of them. Why make this more complicated than it is?

On a lesser note, how long before Aimie Mokwa ends up killing someone, or herself? This woman clearly needs to leave the driving to someone else.

Of course they should. The very things anonaman brought up the cops say when they want YOU investigated. STL cops take drugs off of people and use them, they hassle hookers and let their john buds go free. They scalp tickets. They drive and work under the influence. It is a lax department, but not as bad as some. That’s not saying much. It’s time to clean it up. Our city rotates towing assignments and other vendors. Every jurisdiction should do it that way. It’s the only fair thing to do and helps keep corruption at bay.
