Cop who switched off traffic cam in order to make illegal threats will keep his job

Boing Boing – by Cory Doctorow

Niles, OH Patrolman Todd Mobley followed an acquaintance home in his cruiser and yanked him out of the car and threatened his life; when another cop arrived, Mobley had the cop turn off his dashcam and continued his illegal behavior; he has served a 30 day suspension and is back on the job.

Mobley believed that his victim, Tom Huffman, had stolen a gas can from Mobley’s mother’s house. He repeatedly threatened to murder Huffman.  

Lindsay Mulhull filed the complaint against Mobley. She said she is still shocked over the turn of events since she has known Mobley for the past 18 years.

She said Mobley followed her and her boyfriend, Tom Huffman, home to Cherry Street and accused Huffman of stealing a gas can from the officer’s mother’s house.

“He tells me to get my kids back. I turn my back and that is when he pushes Tommy up against the cop car by his shirt and presses up against his neck and says ‘you’re dead if I ever catch you around my mother’s house again. I will kill you.’ And he just keeps repeating ‘You’re dead. You’re dead.’,” Mulhull said.

According to the police report, another officer arrived and Officer Mobley instructed him to shut off his dash camera, claiming it was for a legitimate law enforcement purpose, when it was for the sole purpose of not wanting his words recorded while threatening Huffman.

  1. Yes ,that does sound like a law enforcement officer for sure I have to admit. And as you can see the law can be bent and over looked when it needs to be for everyone but the legal ameriKan citizen. Law enforcement can’t imagine why so many citizens look at them as thugs and the rest pretend not to see. It is clear to see why law enforcement needs all of the military gear to use on the streets of ameriKa to enforce their tyranny.

  2. Every day behavor for the American police. They don’t like and they will murder you. Why I no longer live in America. No laws broke. Just the American police are allowed to be what they are. A I don’t like is all they need to murder anyone.

  3. “Mobley believed that his victim, Tom Huffman, had stolen a gas can from Mobley’s mother’s house. He repeatedly threatened to murder Huffman.”

    Kill him over a can of gas? SERIOUSLY???

    This POS needs to be completely re-‘programmed’…

    …with a Louisville Slugger.
