By adamg on Tue, 04/12/2011 - 11:08pm
Todd Randall, a Revere police officer, was arrested today on charges he was caught accepting $200 in FBI bribe money in exchange for fixing a court case in Chelsea District Court and then lying about it to FBI agents, the US Attorney's office in Boston reports.
According to the US Attorney's office, Randall, 40, drove to an Everett home of an FBI informant on Jan. 22, 2010 - while in uniform and in his cruiser - to take the money. Authorities charge that Randall denied making the trip or taking the money even when FBI agents told him they had a recording of him.
If convicted, Randall faces five years in federal prison.
Innocent, etc.

How much does it cost to buy a cop's perjury?
$200 is the current market price in Revere, anyway. I'd like to see the FBI setup some similar stings in PDs around the Commonwealth. It's high time to clean out the corruption of law enforcement. Good cops earn and deserve a respected reputation.
I'd like to hear . . .
. . . the Revere officer's side of the story and I do not want FBI stings of local cops.
I'd like to hear it too

This wasn't a random sting.
The FBI pretty much only acts on tips.
I wondered what would have happend though if the Revere cop put handcuffs on the guy and arrested him for bribery.
Oh, and there is a 99.89% chance the cop was guilty. Those are the odds I'd bet on anyway.
I do not want FBI stings of
Well, I DO want those stings. Or do Chris Dowd's desires somehow trump mine?
