NY State trooper caught issuing "revenge" tickets
source: http://www.nypost.com/seven/07022008/news/regionalnews/spite_bite_by_trooper_118165.htm
A state trooper took road rage to a whole new level - writing up five phony traffic tickets to a Brooklyn man as payback after getting into a heated argument with him over a parking spot, authorities said yesterday.
Lester Hooper, 35, wrote the summonses - alleging traffic violations in three Westchester towns from Jan. 28 to Feb. 6 - without ever pulling over Derrick Perry, according to the Westchester County DA's Office.
The sham tickets , featuring Perry's name and license-plate number, were issued in retribution for a parking beef in Brooklyn, officials said.
The State Police Internal Affairs Bureau gave no details of the Jan. 26 quarrel - but Hooper's lawyer, Pat Bonanno, would only say it involved "offensive" contact between Perry and Hooper's wife...
... Hooper, a three-year State Police veteran based in Tarrytown with the task of patrolling Interstates 87, 95 and 287, has been suspended without pay.

What do you expect? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Mr.Hooper is probably a republican so he is just following the party line,"If you don't agree with someone lies and dirty tricks are OK."
