Re: "Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops?"

What possible charges could they allege???????????

You know... i'm sure that they like to bring some kind of charges ('cause that would help in the public relations battle that they are now waging, and possibly help in getting their own butts out of the wringers...), but I'm not sure if they could levy any charges that would not rebound on them and only make them look even worse (legally, and in the eyes of the public).

Re: "It's called an informant plant. The Odessa narcotics unit illegally compelled an informant to plant drugs on Yolanda Madden"

In my opinion THAT is the much larger crime, and the main issue that people should not lose track of in all of this.

(IMO, it's the deeply flawed FEDERAL LAWS that lie at the heart of much of this kind of illegal local conduct --- because it's the FEDERAL LAWS that provide the INCENTIVE for stuff like this... through the asset seizure rules which dangle very large temptations in front of the local authorities. If the seizure monies all went to the general budgets of the Feds and the States, there would be a lesser incentive for crossing the line.)
