The Las Vegas joyride that three police officers took in 2010 in a department-issued car continues to languish — and all we can think is, when will this hangover end?
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge this week agreed to review the disciplinary action handed down in response to the Dec. 27, 2010 incident. Two officers were fired, but the third was spared by the Civil Service Commission, albeit with a 90-day suspension and demotion.
They contend their punishment was unfair, and that the internal investigation violated protections they have under the Public Safety Officers Bill of Rights — specifically, that they initially were interviewed without the presence of an attorney.
