A former Des Plaines police commander who padded DUI arrest records so the department could get federal grant money was sentenced today to six months in prison.Timothy Veit, 57, apologized in Chicago's Dirksen U.S. Courthouse for his role in defrauding the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Illinois Department of Transportation out of nearly $133,000 in public safety grant funding.From 2009 to 2012, Veit padded the department's total number of DUI arrests by 122 to conceal its failure to meet the requirements of an NHTSA-funded impaired-driving enforcement campaign administered by IDOT, according to prosecutors. As part of that scheme, he provided phony blood-alcohol content levels for those fictitious arrests. That enabled the department to collect almost $133,000 in federal money over those years, authorities said.Some officers were paid out overtime from this grant for hours they didn't even work. The police chief said the reason he didn't fire any of these officers is because these crooks make up 1/3 of the department.But don't worry resident bootlicking liveleakers; the officer was allowed to retire and keep his pension.So many things wrong with this story of systemic corruption, so you idiots who post the "few bad apples" claim can swallow the broken glass of a bum's piss-bottle. The quota issue is just the tip of the iceberg; it is a disgusting system that incentivizes making criminals out of good people. If it interests you, do a search on this department and corruption to see the turmoil of a messed up police agency that shouldn't be directing traffic let alone arresting people.
