Okay, sure. So the person who trained them to do that is headed off to jail then, right? No? Maybe it might be more honest to just say “As Attorney General, I will not permit Oklahoma police officers to face criminal prosecution, period.”

LA deputies dogged by New Year date glitch in patrol car PCs
[…]
_“The system thinks it’s July of 2003, and won’t interface with any other department system,” one source told Cece Woods, editor of southern California news outlet The Current Report.
"Patrol units have been forced to start using paper logs again (similar to what was used in the 1980s). It appears the system self-destructed and/or wasn’t programmed to go beyond 2024.”_
Alex Villanueva, formerly the LASD’s chief sheriff before being voted out in 2022, was incandescent on social media about the situation. He posted a letter he’d sent to the LA Board of Supervisors on just this topic in September 2022, pointing out then that the CAD system was “antiquated” and was running on computers that were no longer even supported by the manufacturers.

Part of the problem was a lack of proper IT administrator support, the OIG report stated. The ancient (in modern computing terms) system was maintained by a single programmer who kept things running. But in 2022, the admin retired from the job on health grounds, and despite a nationwide search, the LASD couldn’t find anyone good enough to replace them, the OIG said.
Woods claimed that only two staff really knew how the system functioned - one of whom was said to be “no-ack” on New Year’s Eve, and the other was dead – and that one of the admins had warned in 2003 that the system wouldn’t be able to handle 2025.
Former sheriff Villanueva was unavailable for comment.

Bad news: if your reaction to being called a bastard is to lie under oath to try and get the name-caller prison time for being a gang member, you are in fact an irredeemable bastard.

I bet a lot more cops who’ve been fired are suddenly going to get hired in neighboring counties, parishes, and states.
