Son of LMPD Police Chief Robert White arrested
And Daddy will make this all disappear when he gets back in town. No surprise here, it's well known if you know a few cops you can get out of a lot. Especially if you know the police chief. ESPECIALLY IF THE POLICE CHIEF IS YOUR FATHER. I've heard directly from an LMPD Narcotics Detective how she made her friend's DUI disappear, even though he also damaged a storefront in the process. I've seen it firsthand....know a cop, the law is subjective. LMPD deserves more than bad publicity. I remember hearing about how Narcotics Detective James Adams (the one involved in the high-speed car accident on Westport Rd where the girl died) had 11 felony cases dismissed because he didn't show up to court. So I have to pay court costs for running a stop sign, yet people with felony cases get off because the cop was too lazy to show up for court. **** YOU, LMPD.

This will be 'taken care of', rest assured. the wife will recant...whether she really wants to or not, then the charges amended, a plea to a misdemeanor and then dismissed. LMPD takes care of its own when they want.
Look at all the detectives with unmarked cars that live out of Jefferson County that are driving their cars home- and it is known by the command and allowed...probably because one of the 'higher ups' is doing it himself- in Oldham County.

CASE IN POINT
Editorial by John Ziegler
The REAL Chief White??!
12/19/2002
Here are a series of articles about the scandels of Louisville's new police chief while he was the head of Greensboro's police department.These articles appeared in Greensboro's alternative newspaper, "The Rhinoceros Times Greensboro."
Police Dept. Seems To Have New DWI Policy (7/4/02)
by John Hammer, Editor
Since Greensboro Police Chief Robert White was hired, we have received numerous letters and beeps about White taking care of his friends with good assignments and jobs and generally playing favorites in the department. Some of these we have printed, but many we have not because we had no proof that White does play favorites. Now we do.
It is unfortunate that White placed the temporary inconvenience of his son over his own reputation for being fair and honest. At least, that's what White would have us believe. The story White tells is a difficult one to swallow.
White's son was stopped because an off-duty police officer observed his son driving erratically and followed his car until a police officer arrived to stop the car and check the driver for a possible driving while impaired arrest. Imagine Sgt. A.A. Moore's shock when the young man driving the car handed her a cellular phone and she recognized the voice on the phone as that of Chief White.
There are a lot of parts of this puzzle that just don't fit. The main one is that White maintains that his son was treated like anyone else who was stopped for a suspected DWI. Add to that the report that when she pulled him over, Moore reportedly said she smelled beer on White's son's breath. Perhaps the chief needs to get out in the field more. The standard practice of the Greensboro Police Department after a driver is pulled over for driving erratically and the officer smells beer on the driver's breath is not to sit and wait by the car for the driver's parents to come pick him up. No, the standard practice is to administer some kind of on-site test, either a test of physical dexterity or a chemical test that measures the amount of alcohol in one's system.
If there is evidence that the person has been drinking and is impaired, then they are arrested and taken downtown for a Breathalyzer, the results of which are admissible as evidence in a court case.
I've lived in Greensboro a long time, and I have known a large number of people to be stopped by police for a variety of reasons, including suspicion of drunk driving. I have been stopped a number of times myself. Never has the officer waited with me while my parents came to pick me up, and I know of no other person in Greensboro who has had this experience. White said this was not an unusual occurrence, but on Monday the police department could not provide us with the name of one other person who has been pulled for suspicion of driving while impaired, was allowed to wait by the side of the road until their parents arrived and was then driven home by a parent based on the parent's assurance that their child was not impaired.
There is another part of this that is really troubling, and that is White's insistence that his son was not drunk. White has been around long enough to know that you don't have to be drunk to get a DWI. I have seen some folks that walked and talked just fine who blew over the legal limit, which in North Carolina is .08. For many, men three beers in an hour would put them over .08, and even the police chief can't look at someone or talk to someone and tell whether they would blow a .06, a .08 or a .10. Everyone's metabolism is different, and some heavy drinkers do their jobs every day with an amount of alcohol in their system that would put other folks under the table.
If White's son was not impaired by alcohol, why didn't the police officer who stopped him simply let him drive home? Why did White have to come out to his son's car and drive his son home? Police officers stop people all the time and don't give them tickets, simply letting them continue on their way. In this case, for some reason Moore and White did not want young White to drive home. Why not?
If White's son was not impaired and was not going to blow over the legal limit, why didn't White insist that at the very least a roadside test be administered to his son? The most obvious explanation is that both White and the officer knew that White's son had been drinking and nobody really knows what they will blow on the Breathalyzer except those who have not had anything to drink. White says that his son had had one beer. Nobody in their right mind is going to tell a police officer, even if that police officer happens to be their father (or perhaps especially if that police officer happens to be their father), that they have just downed a six-pack and are out driving around.
If White's son had only had one beer, wouldn't it have been better for him to go through what everyone else goes through and prove to the officer that he was not impaired by at least taking a roadside test?
There is the problem with the reason for the traffic stop. The reason young White was stopped was that an off-duty police officer observed him driving erratically and followed him until a police officer who was on duty arrived. So this was a police officer who was not out on patrol but just out going somewhere and he observed a driver who appeared so out of control that he decided it was more important to get this driver off the road than to go wherever he was going.
White's son said he was driving erratically because he thought he was being followed, but the police officer who was following him says he was following White's son because he was driving erratically. If you suspect you are being followed, you might pull into a parking lot or turn down a side street, but it is hard to explain why you would drive like a drunk.
The truth is that White's son got special treatment because he is the son of the police chief. It is not the policy of the Greensboro Police Department to call the parents of 21-year-old men who are suspected of driving under the influence and have the parents come take them home instead of testing the young men and arresting them if there is evidence that they are drunk.
Maybe it should be the policy of the police department to call the homes of young people who are suspected of driving under the influence and have the parents come get them. That way, the entire court process could be bypassed, and one would hope the parents would take the opportunity to convince their children that driving after drinking is not a great idea. If Chief White wants to promote that as the new policy of the police department, I think it has some real pluses. Mothers Against Drunk Driving and those other organizations will not be happy, but if Chief White wants to promote that as his new policy, he should do so. Certainly an argument can be made for giving young adults one mistake before clobbering them with jail, the courts, fines and a mar on their permanent record.
But this is not currently the policy. On June 11 Chief White's son got special treatment from the police department because he was the chief's son, and that is wrong.
At the very least, White should be reprimanded, and he owes an apology to the people of Greensboro. It is up to White's boss, City Manager Ed Kitchen, to decide what to do about White using his position as police chief to get his son out of trouble, but if Kitchen doesn't do something, it is up to the City Council to demand that some action be taken to ensure that people who are stopped by police officers are all treated fairly.
White Blasts Media For Son Stop Coverage
By James Moffat, Staff Writer
Attention being paid to one traffic stop has made Greensboro Police Chief Robert White a little peeved.
White recently blasted local media coverage of his son's traffic stop for possible drunk driving, saying it would not be such an issue if it were anybody else. The chief said coverage from the media has been blown out of proportion 'just because it's an incident involving me and my kid.'
The chief's son, Robert White III, 21, was pulled over by Sgt. A.A. Moore at 2:45 a.m. Tuesday, June 11 after an off-duty police officer observed him driving erratically on Battleground Avenue. The younger White then called his father, who came to the scene. Moore didn't give the younger White a Breathalyzer test and turned him over to his father, who drove him home. According to the chief, his son was not drunk and the officer took the necessary actions.
'I didn't do anything wrong and my son didn't do anything wrong. My actions were not a violation of any laws, city policies or procedures,' White said Monday. 'I'm not going to stop being a father because I am police chief.'
Others, though, don't see eye to eye with the chief on this issue. Councilmember Sandy Carmany said while she can understand the chief taking his son's side on the matter, she doesn't agree with the way the incident was handled.
'I would have insisted on that Breathalyzer test, if nothing else, to clear him,' Carmany said. 'If that Breathalyzer had been done and it came back negative, there wouldn't be any discussion.'
Carmany has asked City Manager Ed Kitchen if there will be an inquiry as to what exactly happened that morning, but has yet to receive an answer.
According to White, his son was driving down Battleground Avenue when he noticed a truck following him. The truck was being driven by an off-duty police officer who called headquarters to report a car driving erratically. Shortly thereafter, White's son was pulled over by Moore and called his father.
The chief then spoke to the officer on his son's cell phone and told her to 'handle it any way she would,' White said. According to White, Moore then told the chief she smelled 'a faint odor of alcohol.' White drove to the scene and asked Moore if she wanted to conduct a breath test, but was told there was no Alco-Sensor on the scene. An Alco-Sensor is a device used to measure the alcohol content of a person's breath. According to White, his son was lucid and clear in his speech and Moore told him there was no probable cause for issuing the breath test.
Why did the chief go to the scene and drive his son home if there was no reason for his son not to drive himself? According to the chief, there is 'a wide range of discretion' in handling such situations. He said that out of thousands of stops every year, the police 'don't give tickets every time.' Even so, that does not explain why he drove his son home from the stop.
White said his sons 'sure as heck haven't gotten special attention in the past' because of his position when they were stopped by police. The chief said his sons have been pulled over on three separate occasions and not once has he influenced the police officers? decisions in those matters. He even said an officer pulled a gun on his eldest son one time, believing him to be a suspect in a robbery. White said his actions June 11 were those of any father in the same situation.
'I was a father before I was a police chief and I'll be a father after I'm a police chief,' White said. 'That's my story.'
When asked about the incident, Councilmember Yvonne Johnson said she doesn't believe it to be a big deal. She agreed with the chief that if this situation happened to anyone else, the spotlight wouldn't be shining so brightly.
'If this was 25,000 other people, it wouldn't be in the newspaper,' Johnson said.
But 25,000 other people wouldn't have gotten the chance to call their father to come pick them up by the side of the road instead of downtown. According to White, Greensboro police do not give tickets to every driver stopped for questioning. Officers can, at their discretion, have the parents intervene and bring the children home.
But after numerous calls and transfers to different departments, the police department was unable to provide the name of a single parent who has received such a call, nor could anyone in the police department even provide an example of such an instance, except prefaced by 'what happened to Chief White's son.'

Like father like son. Where do you think he learned all of this? When will the new mayor wake up and see that he needs to get rid of White. He was bad when he was hired and he is really bad now and yes he will cover this up. Won't hire someone with a very small problem 15 years ago and is a very good person now but look who we got for a chief? He is a joke and his son will get get off. Our police dept is a joke because of White and now with a son like he has. That whole front office needs to be redone. White needs to go back where he came from and take his family with him.

Does anyone remember when the police could go to the LPD POLICE gym at HQ and lay your gun belt down, walk off and lift without being in fear of your life or theft of property? Hope i don't see any of #1's family working out up there giving me the evil eye. At night the LPD gym is like the Beacher Terrace rec center. The criminal kids of every city worker seem to be able to gain entry 24/7 and run the police out of our own gym. I am so glad that one of the first things he did was share the wealth and open it up to anybody. We don't need to be physically strong anyway since White's ultimate goal is to turn us all into weak female genetallia. Not working out gives me more time to GET FIs.
