Shit, that's basically the plot of Undercover https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5057932/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_7 I thought it was a decent thriller but took the whole premise of deep cover a bit too far to be credible, more fool me.

Parkland school resource officer decried as coward gets princely pension of $8,702 a month
The former school resource officer criticized for his response to the Parkland school massacre is receiving more than $8,700 a month in state pension, Florida Department of Management Services spokeswoman Nina Ashley said Wednesday.
There are no charges or circumstances that would affect Scot Peterson's pension, according to a March 28 department letter requesting local officials submit information pertaining to Peterson's retirement benefits. However, two investigations into the police response to the February 14 shooting remain ongoing.

$104,000 a year pension...how much was he on when he was working.

jesus
Unbelievable:
(From another article)
In 2016, his annual salary was more than $75,600, overtime pushing it to about $100,000. His pension is based on his years of service and the average of the five highest-paid years.
Why should he not get his pension?
Well the argument is that part of his job was to protect kids in the event of a mass shooting, where he seems to have run away.
Hence getting fired. But you can't just take someone's pension when you feel like it.
True, although the optics of him not receiving some sort of punishment beyond just getting fired will be unseemly when publicized in the media.
Asking school cops to go up against madmen with AR-15s is a bit much. I'm not surprised he didn't fancy it.
He must have worked a long long time to get that much pension pay. Wonder what their retirement formula is.
He had 25 years service. Looks like they take an average of his highest five years including overtime and he gets 100% of that.
So what's your problem with his pension?
Wow including OT and 100% of avg salary with less than 30 years.... that's very very generous.
The system is set up for the cops like that. Similar for firemen iirc.
They ““work”” a ton of overtime in their last few years to bump their pension up.
Should be based on their straight time pay only.
I'm surprised the overtime pay is factored into it since its random and not part of an official pay chart.
Yea it should be base salary. I thought most public safety pensions excluded OT. My dept has a lot of overtime so our officers would absolutely KILL it if or pensions included OT pay
Does seem a bit excessive. Not sure if other States are the same but cops LE in Florida can pick up OT working for private companies. The department provides cops as security for places like movie theaters and ports and the cops sign up for OT. We used to have a friend that worked 3-4 nights for the Port of Tampa on top of his 40 hours day shift as a detective. So basically they can give themselves a massive boost in the final five years and inflate the pension.
There are a couple of things wrong with it TBH. Like others have said his pension is excessive and the system need changing. Also this guy was on the verge of getting fired yet he handed papers in and collects an excessively large pension. It must infuriate the parents of the kids that were slaughtered while he waited outside.
He has been a public servant for well over 25 years. He didn't set the rules of how his pension is calculated and if people have a problem with his pension, they should work to change the system and not to target a single guy. Not everybody can hand in their papers and get pension anyway, it is because of his previous service. Kids getting slaughtered is because of stupid gun laws that mindless fecks in the US don't want to get rid of. If somehow the social justice mob gets to ruin this guy's pension, he's another collateral damage to the stupid gun laws I suppose.
Yeah, no fault on this guy that he’s getting such a large pension.
Hate the game, not the player.
He was eligible before he worked that day at parkland so no one can take his pension.
Contrast that with Trump who fired McCabe days before he was eligible. Nasty fecker!

Its a two way street - sometimes its the citizens acting up, other times its the cops.
There are plenty of cops on a power trip for sure. That is why you need to be very careful how you behave around them. At the end of the day if you are stopped by the cops they have a job to do and you will lose if you act like a dick.
Or sometimes even if you do nothing wrong, you can still lose.
Isn't the education and qualification to become a cop very miniscule in the US? Giving a hick off the street a badge after a 3 months corse isn't adviseable.
Around here it is 3-4 years, with psychology and criminal theory etc.
Then again you are not put through the same stress as a police officer around these parts. Three times the yearly murder rate in certain cities in the us with 100k inhabitants compared to what we get for the entire country with 5mill people.

Not really. The standards in CA are pretty high and you need college courses and a long period of training in Police Academy.
Oh, didn't know that.
In general though I try to be careful to judge American reality through Norwegian glasses.
Owning a gun might seem alien to me, but compare the level of crime in the two countries. It might be right in certain areas of the US.
Likewise being a cop in certain areas in the US must be quite stressfull, since flat out shooting you is seen as a legit option there. The very concept of shooting or getting into a shootout with the cops in Norway is bizarre. In fact I don't think it's ever happened.
Direct comparisons becomes very inaccurate when there are such differences between reality and every day life in the two countries.

Nothing wrong there but those court summons for insurance proof are cnuts because you have to take the time off and then you get charged a court fee just for proving you had insurance. It's another way of fecking over poor people.
He could've just given her a warning but she probably didn't do herself any favors by swearing at him and calling him a skinhead cop.
Her attitude from the get go quashed any chance of a warning. I have been pulled over numerous times, often for far worse than 37mph in a 25. I have only drive off with a ticket once in maybe 15-20 stops.
That cop was super polite and would have probably just warned her if she handle herself like an adult. Not having her documentation probably didn't help either.
Funniest bit was when she asked him to call her kid's school to tell them he would be late.

how many times have you been pulled over? wtf
for it to make any sense to say "one in 15-20 stops" it would have be a case of some multiple of 15-20 stops. so we are talking at least 30-40 stops. but then would you even say it like that? wouldnt you just say twice? so it would have to be some significant multiple of one also. so we are really talking about mike claiming to have been pulled over 40-60 times, which is just an insane amount. from a quick google it looks like his local police department has 14 officers.
so is mike getting pulled over by each officer 4 times? is it like a bell curve? is one of the officers his neighbor and sometimes when mike drives by the officer is mowing the lawn and waves at him and they chat about the weather and mike counts that as being pulled over? i have so many questions about this.

if you had been pulled over once in 15-20 times (which is still a very high number), how would you phrase it:
"ive gotten one ticket in the 15-20 times ive been pulled over"
or
"i only get one ticket every 15-20 times ive been pulled over"
if you say the second one you are a sociopath. so this has to be bare minimum 30-40 times being pulled over.
"ive gotten one ticket in the 15-20 times ive been pulled over"
or
"i only get one ticket every 15-20 times ive been pulled over"
