I think they should release the names of the ex-cop and make sure that viceo is played all over the country. This tape is so funny the reporter is even laughing.[8D]
Although the video didn't provide specifics of the original incident where the marijuana was confiscated, I am assuming that mj is against the law in that jurisdiction is a lawful action for police. This ex-cop is a moron and obviously not very well trained in drugs, etc. It's appropriate that he's no longer a cop. After this, he'll never be able to get a cop job again and rightfully so. He committed theft and tampering of evidence. Although he could be prosecuted, losing his job is probably a more serious consequence because for him, he has now lost a career in law enforcement and probably would have difficulty getting jobs in other career fields as well.
I don't think any cop should ever be above the law. However most people who get convicted of some minor crime also do not lose their job and career over it. In its' own way, justice has most likely been served. Besides that, it sounds like the ex-cop and his wife most likely ate all of the evidence.
Cops in high places...high enough to be above the law????
