The Incompetent Escapades of Ady Johnson
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009I did a little Google search a while back and found that, in addition to this site of course, Officer Johnson has one other notable mention. It seems that she found drugs on a guy during an illegal search a while back. Arresting a guy and having the court of appeals decide it was an illegal search must be a good source of embarrassment for a cop.
You can read the whole document here:

The best part is her testimony:
Q. You had suspicion that it was drugs?
Johnson: Yes.
Q. You didn’t have probable cause?
Johnson: Correct.
So not only is this funny because she was horrible on the stand, but it also highlights some pretty dishonorable police action. It raises the question of why she knowingly conducted an illegal search.
In other news, it seems a female police officer came to the neighbor’s house the other day looking for my roommate. It was probably Officer Johnson because I don’t think there are many other female officers in Ames. But it also seems likely that Officer Johnson would have been dumb enough to show up at the wrong house. It also seems likely that she would be dishonorable enough to tell the neighbors what she wanted, which wasn’t that bad but still none of their business.
