Police officers accused of drunken driving. A female officer's alleged promiscuity and infidelity. A commander whose critics labeled his son a child molester.



Jeff Pataky said he uses negative complaints and anonymous tips to fuel his blogging crusade against Phoenix police. A headline on his Web site suggests rewards would be provided for "dirt" on police indiscretions.


Pataky, a former software sales and marketing executive who now focuses his energy shoveling content on www.badphoenixcops.com, said he believes his online criticism of the department - along with past criticisms of police investigations - led officers to serve a search warrant at his home last week.

It's amazing how bad some cops can be, and how good others can be.

I've worked at places where we had officers moonlight during the overnight hours, and we had 2 officers who were total jerks, the other 3 were the nicest people I ever met.

I guess this really comes with any job, you always have someone working there who thinks they are god, and with a badge it's probably 100 times worse.

In my opinion the cops who requested the warrant along with the judge need to be reprimanded. Granted that is if we are hearing the story entirely correct.
