Houston, Texas
An investigation is underway into some members of the Houston police and fire departments. The accusation against them -- ticket fixing. The allegation is serious and potentially criminal.
A Houston Fire Department arson investigator and a Houston Police Department officer will soon be the focus of an investigation based on a Facebook exchange. In it, the daughter of a longtime firefighter puts a blanket callout to her friends for help in getting some traffic tickets fixed.
HPD says it's unaware of the allegation but told Eyewitness News:
"We are not aware of the situation and do not make it a practice of commenting on an employee of another organization. If anyone is aware or received information of misconduct of an HPD officer or HPD employee, we respectfully ask that person contact our Internal Affairs Division."
"It is inappropriate to dismiss citations. Citations can only be dismissed if the charge is inappropriate, if a greater charge is filed, or if there is an error on the citation."
