Show Notes
Cleveland police detective Donald Kopchak found guilty on all counts for illegally detaining a truck driver at a Hinckley bar, facing sentencing on June 11th. Co-defendant Daniel Lajack pleaded guilty to attempted abduction, sentenced this Thursday. Both off-duty law enforcement officers were part of federal task forces but not full agents. The trucker, a legal immigrant from East Africa, was aggressively questioned and pinned outside the bar. Kopchak is on unpaid leave from Cleveland PD, Lajack retired after an internal probe. Federal prosecutors reviewed for civil rights issues but passed it back to locals. This case serves as a reminder that badges dont shield bad calls, justice was served regardless.
