"TOP COP" for number of DUI arrests. He jacks up people's lives with fake DUI arrests and robs them too!!

"No, thank you," Holland told Bradley in the footage.

Bradley took Holland into custody for felony DUI and in the dashboard camera footage, while Holland was in the state trooper's vehicle, Bradley can be seen searching through Holland's vehicle before his car was towed.

Missing MacBook
Later that day, when Holland needed his MacBook, he said he noticed it wasn't listed on his inventory slip, so he assumed it must be with his car at the tow yard.

"I decided to ping my MacBook," Holland told the I-Team, "and it pinged to an address."

Using Apple's "Find My" feature, Holland says his MacBook was not pinging at the tow yard with his car, rather it was showing up at a Tinley Park home.

For every DUI arrest made, state police troopers must appear in court, and in evidence motions filed with the court, attorneys have said this has led to a staggering amount of overtime pay for Trooper Bradley.

State records show in 2024, Bradley nearly tripled his salary, earning nearly $250,000 in one year.

That's more than the salary of the Illinois State Police director.

As for this so called 'Top Cop' all his cases need to be re-examined, and this Trooper needs to be in jail. God knows how many false arrests he made, not to mention robbery. What was he going to do with the laptop he stole from the person he falsely arrested?

There were a lot of people asleep at the wheel while this 'Top Cop' was doing his criming.

when the victim does not mention wallet and keys.
Does this mean he routinely keeps people’s wallets and keys and confused this victim with one of many of his other victims? Or does this mean that the victim didn’t think to mention the wallet and keys?

Police. OMG.
