Man he is really going to have to give an account for that. Even beyond his legal reprimand. What person that represents law enforcement would do such a thing just for personal gain???
Not only is he giving the policemen a bad name, but he along with all the other people committing auto insurance fraud out there is helping to drive up the cost of insurance. If the only claims we had to handle was legitimate claims, the premiums would be so much less.
Policemen must really be careful more than any other civil service, because they represent LAW ENFORCEMENT. If American citizens, especially the youth continue to lose confidence in LAW enforcement, because of people like this, then it will soon become contagious and we will have an ANARCHY on our hands.

It is a shame that more and more people are involved in lodging false claims by fabricating documents. This would certainly show us more of such auto insurance fraud games in the days to come.

How about the contribution of money to his kids' football camp?
Among the items left out of that article is the termination of the investigation of MetLife in CA. And, of course, the $88,000 contribution that company made to his "special fund" was left out as well.

My husband used to drive tractor trailer, he was tag teamed by a few vehicles that used a pretty good accident scam, they made one happen. It took two vehicles, one cut in front of him and the other was beside him forcing him to hit the vehicle in front of him that was part of the scam. The police that showed up on the scene was well aware of what was happening, I guess towards the cities this happens quite a bit.

This made me think that these kind of people are desperate in their lives to get what is not theirs, yet. I have read news about people cutting their fingers in order to get money from the insurance companies. Some use well chairs, crouches, and bandages with addition of make-up just to fool people that they needed help. I'm just sadden with the fact that more people are becoming dependent on money instead of good principles.

Sure, you get a nice bundle, but everyone else picks up the bill. A police officer of all people pulling something like this is disgraceful. Like knig said, if people lose faith in law enforcement, then everyone loses.
Filing a false claim should hold dire punishments, especially if you go as low as getting a wheelchair and claim that you can't walk or eat without a straw. Then do jumping jacks at night before your 3-mile bike ride in the morning. It's a kick in the teeth to those wheelchair-bound from injuries.

good points quenlinPosted: Sat Dec 22, 2007 02:58 am Post Subject:
Quenlin, do you know someone who actually did this? How can you find a doctor that would even go along with this, surely a good doctor could see right through this or the physical therapist that you should be going to if you are hurt this bad. I just can't see how someone could pull off a scam like this without the help of some professionals like the doctors and such. Wouldn't you need this type of evidence to present for a case, this is major right, so what happens when you are miracously healed, how long does a scam like this last.
Gosh, what people will do for money, this is really disgraceful, I feel for this person, they can not be right in the head.
