Dissenting Opinions

I was recently contacted by several friends regarding “rumors” that KRS 15.520, known as the Police Officers Bill of Rights was being scuttled, abandoned, violated etc. in favor of the powers that be.

There are various rulings that have come out of the various Circuit Courts which were upheld by the court of appeals in recent years that seem to be fueling these rumors. The main issue stems from broad appeals where complainants/defendants are basing their defense upon 15.520 and the differences found therein regarding investigations brought forth by departments alleging misconduct vs. by those brought forth in the form of a citizen complaint.
