Captain Renault is shocked to learn that a defense lawyer group would speak ill of an agency that aids criminal prosecution.
No kidding. Only entities that would profit by a loss of DUI video & records are drunks & money hungry defense attorneys. NO Records have been loss…all restored
Shocking, no?
For the sake of all South Carolinians, please do NOT include the SC Judiciary as part of your commission to investigate aanything at SLED. A high level SLED agent told me a couple of years ago, SLED will do nothing about Jean Toal’s abuse of the system and her “possible” criminal activities. She is the person who has to rule for or against SLED on cases. When SLED has a problem with a particular judge, they have someone up the ladder just call Jean. “She owns us. When Robert Stewart was here, it was worse.”
Toal has got to go.
Edgar is correct with his info.
Robert Stewart was and I guess still is, a political hack who kissed political but, even when unnecessary.
Is anyone surprised the Little Hitler (Keel) would lie, I’m shocked.
Keel is just as political and even lower than Stewart. Both are abusive and vindictive to work for.
keel should have NEVER been appointed to the position; just another Haley FUCK up, or another Haley FUCK? I have my thoughts, knowing both.
Betty what year was it that you were fired by
Stewart and Keel?
The internet and everyone being connected is a direct threat to their rogue selves. However, these old farts and their mentality still function like it is the days before the web.
Now the truth catches up. And much of it can easily destroy their careers while some of it can even send them to federal prison.
Payback can be a bitch, right Mark Keel? Right Jeal Toal? Right SC Court Administration?
Stupid fools. Never do people wrong that you think you rule over in your control freak minds. The evil these rogues in state government have been doing for years and years has come home to roost!
Kudos to Will Folks for having the balls to stand up to these sack of dung.
If they would have been funded by Haley and the lawmakers they would have properly trained and paid staff as well as a redundant server at a distiaster recovery cemter behind mutiple levels of protection. .this is what happens when you are being advised by high school flunkies instead of IT pros…
Any reason they’re hanging on to records from 1991?
Does that mean that there are DUI cases that have not been tried and gone to the end of any possible appeals within 22 years?
Interesting thought
Great article! Nothing surprising, here. SLED does not obey the law with regard to issue of CWP’s within 90 days, absent a good reason to deny the application.
Doesn’t SLED still hamstring front-line police officers at least one day of the week by shutting down access to NCIC/CJICS and even DMV files for hours on end? I have said for years that there is no excuse for this as a backup computer should be in place that would allow uninterrupted access to this info while the system is being serviced. I wonder how many officers’ lives have been placed in unnecessary danger and how many wanted criminals have walked away free from a police stop because of this incompetence. This has gone on for decades.
“… we call on Governor Haley and the South Carolina General Assembly to exercise their duties of oversight and accountability…” because they did such a good job with SCDEW and SCDHEC…
Did you forget DOR?
I will swear on a stack of Bibles, that there is absolutely no reason under the sun to believe anything that SLED says. Question any and all statements and allegations their agents and representatives might make.
ya think? ya wont be able to convict a dui for a looooooooooong time!
