1 Message Parlor, 1 Fake Police Raid, 7 women arrested, 3 Cops arrested, All caught on Tape, No one convicted. |
Upon arrival to the station, the massage parlor owner exclaimed that the arresting officers were lying about being solicited, and that he could prove it with his business’s surveillance camera. So, while holding the group of arrestees at the station, Wong, along with two other officers, stage a raid and break into the massage parlor to steal the evidence which proved the officer’s story to be a lie. With the evidence secured, the officer thought himself to be in the clear, until it was discovered that massage parlor owner had everything stored on a back up hard drive which not only caught the initial arrest of the owner and the 7 women, but also the fake raid.
Soon after a media firestorm began with the 3 officers responsible for the break-in being fired and criminally charged. At first, it seemed as though our justice system was actually doing its job for once in regards to stiff prosecution of corrupt officers, but alas, that turned out to be nothing more than a fallacy.
Prosecutors, as anticipated, waited for the media to go away and then began to suspiciously make “mistakes” much to the benefit of law enforcement, most notably, giving the defendant officer’s lawyers an edited version of the surveillance video, which was completely unnecessary given that the officers had already been caught red handed. But, because the prosecutors had not complied with the rules of evidence exchange as outlined by the courts, this gave the judge everything he needed to help the officers by throwing out their case. Thus, all officers who conspired to destroy someone else’s life with false accusations of criminal misconduct, had now gotten off scot-free.
