I shared this on BOL as well... After much debate, I decided to email Ken Swindle (Tuscaloosa Police Chief) a picture that I had seen posted on here by a couple of different members. It is a picture of a TPD patrol car with an Auburn tag on the front. I e-mailed him the picture, addressed the issue of credibility (and the growing lack thereof), and asked that he check into it and have it removed if possible. Here is his response:

When we checked that was the only unit with a tag like that and it has been removed. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Ken

I thought that it was pretty dang cool. Thoughts?

cry. baby.

Congratulations. I think it's great that you did something that got action -- instead of just whining about it, as is the more common reaction around here.

I told the Tuscaloosa Police Department police Chief, who is head over police officers that work around the entire City, particularly the University of Alabama, that one of his men had an Auburn tag on the front of his vehicle (which was clearly against the idea of "uniformity", which all PDs use). Also, with the growing buzz of a TPD "Conspriacy", and their credibility dwindling every day, I brought it to his attention. When a PUBLIC OFFICIAL who is supposed to have NO bias is driving around town and CAMPUS with an Auburn tag on his car, and then one of his co-workers falsifies a police report in order to arrest a Bama player, there is a PROBLEM that needs to be fixed. This part of the PROBLEM has been fixed, thanks to Mr. Swindle. Bite me.

I'm sorry. No officer should patrol the streets of Tuscaloosa with an Auburn tag.

yeah, that should calm the auburn police fan down alot. he's probably happy that an alabama fan has told on him for having an auburn tag. he will NEVER target an alabama player again. go ahead and blame yourself for the next five arrests, idiot.

Eat it. It was an embarrassment. Seems like this struck a nerve. Was it your car?

Yall argue over the dumbest stuff.

It took an officer trying to make a "point" to put that on an official vehicle. Official police vehicles should have nothing like that on them,including political stickers or anything else. The chief did the right thing.

its a tag. it aint like he's targeting alabama fans....oh, wait a minute, the conspiracy!!! he's the mastermind behind the auburn plot to bring down the alabama dynasty by making alabama football players commit crimes!!! auburn spys have inflitrated the TPD and are currently taking down the top players in the program to insure 7 in a row!!!
you

Are you not aware of the falsified reports by the TPD? The Four different camera angles that saw something completely different than what the Police officer claimed happened? If you are aware of that, and are not outraged, then you are certifiably retarded. Then, add the Auburn tags on the front of Police Cars of the guys making the arrests? That's ridiculous.

If this happened at the barn, some of you guys would have probably rolled and burned it. I find emailing the chief a much more intellectual way to handle something that is clearly inappropriate and placed there for obvious reasons.

i have not failed to piss you off

You made me laugh on another thread....on this subject though, you are completely wrong.


ROLL TIDE !!!!

I honestly believe that following coach Sabans meeting with "City Hall" , any harassment of
BAMA football players on the strip will cease.
Wait and see!

Way to go, Cap!
You said it all!

Thanks superman, glad you did this. It really pissed me off when I saw that tag.

I have been off the board for a few days. What is this about video evidence and police officers falsifying reports?

They offered to drop his charges because video evidence from four different angles did not match anything that was written on the police report. Rashad and his attorney are going to figure out what they need to do this week whether it be sue, accept the plea, or what not.
