here is your daily serving of cops being stupid, at best; 

Lorain, OH — An abusive power tripping cop was fired after dashcam footage surfaced showed him pull over his own daughter and her boyfriend and threaten to make “some s**t up” to arrest him. Not only was he caught threatening to arrest an innocent teen and illegally detaining two innocent people but this abusive cop was also caught ignoring an actual call for help during the stop.

On April 16, 2018 Lorain police officer John Kovach Jr. pulled over his daughter’s boyfriend, Makai Coleman without cause and broke a slew of laws in the process. Three years later and this cop has yet to face any repercussions other than being fired from the department.

Last June, the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office determined that Kovach’s actions in April 2018 did not rise to the level of a federal civil rights violation.

The incident was an “more of an internal matter,” Cleveland FBI spokeswoman Vicki Anderson said.

According Safety-Service Director Dan Given, Police Chief Cel Rivera and other command officers, Kovach violated a slew of department policies during the stop, including unlawfully using police resources to track down his daughter’s ip address on her phone and geo-locate it.

“These actions are not acceptable for members of our Police Department and we felt it warranted immediate dismissal,” Given said.

As the Chronicle-Telegram reports, according to an internal investigation completed by Lt. Ed Super as well as dashcam footage from Kovach’s cruiser, shortly before 6 p.m. on April 16 a silver vehicle with a driver and three passengers passed Kovach’s patrol car in the same direction that he was facing on West 34th Street. Without alerting dispatch, Kovach initiates a stop............read and watch more........
