Looks like she is the RULE and NOT the exception when it comes to the AmeriKan police state.
"Fla. state chemist faces inquiry over evidence thefts; Discovery could halt drug cases, free prisoners" by Brendan Farrington | Associated Press, February 02, 2014
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement announced Saturday that it is investigating 2,600 cases handled by a Pensacola-based agency chemist after discovering dozens of drug cases in which prescription pain pills were swapped out with over-the-counter pills.
In Dookhan's case, she spiked product to convict.
Department Commissioner Gerald Bailey said the chemist handled cases involving 80 law enforcement agencies from 35 counties since he was hired in 2006. Most, but not all, of the cases involved testing drug evidence, though it was not immediately clear how many cases might be compromised.
Pffft!
Doesn't matter. They are all tainted now, and every single suspect must be released.
The situation was discovered after Escambia County investigators realized evidence was missing and later found other evidence packages in which prescription pills had been substituted with nonprescription pills.
In other words, a DRUG ADDICT was working in the DRUG LAB!
It potentially means drug charges will have to be dropped and prisoners released if it’s determined that the chemist tampered with evidence, Bailey said.
“This has the potential of impacting hundreds of drug cases across our state,’’ Bailey told reporters. ‘‘This is a total shock and a disappointment. We don’t know if the individual is a user or a trafficker.”
Not to me it isn't.
What is shocking these days is the rare instance where police are not murdering suspects or framing them through the courts.
The department is using agents from each of its offices to review all the cases handled by the chemist, who is on paid leave during a criminal investigation.
Are you F***ING KIDDING?!!!???!!!!
He is not being identified while under investigation, but Bailey said he hopes charges are brought quickly, at which point the chemist will be fired....
Nothing about it in today's Globe.
The situation in Florida calls to mind the case of Annie Dookhan, the Massachusetts state drug analyst who was sentenced to 3 to 5 years in prison in November for tampering with evidence, jeopardizing potentially 40,000 drug cases in Massachusetts.
Does it?

What a great deal, huh?
For the record, ONCE is a MISTAKE! TWICE shows MALICIOUS INTENT!
The Florida department is reviewing its drug testing program to try to prevent similar incidents.
PFFFFFFFTT!
Yeah, then come out with a pos announcement saying everything is all right here, blah, blah, blah.
F*** lying Amerikan law enforcement, and f*** the mouthpiece ma$$ media, too!!!!!!!!!!!
One idea may be to increase employee drug testing, Bailey said.
They aren't be tested already? WTF?!!!!!!!!!
Right now, employees are drug tested when they are hired, but not again unless they have reason to suspect they are abusing drugs.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has offered to assist in the investigation. “The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is a top-notch law enforcement agency. I continue to have complete confidence in them and their work. This situation simply underlines the extent of the problem our country faces with prescription drug abuse,’’ Bondi said in an e-mailed statement.
Then why is medical marijuana such a big f***ing deal, huh?

Yeah, don't worry about those CIA-run poisons that boost drug-laundering banks bottom lines.

Is there anyone, anyone out there at all that trusts any level of AmeriKan law enforcement these days? A handful of fools still?
