Officer fined $2K for not repo
LAWRENCE - The state Ethics Commission has fined a Lawrence police officer $2,000 for not immediately reporting that an illegal handgun was found under the bed of a city councilor's daughter.

The commission found that Officer Alberto Inostroza did a favor for the daughter of City Councilor Grisel Silva when he took the .22-caliber revolver from Silva's house to spare the daughter a criminal charge.

Inostroza has agreed to the fine and has waived all rights to contest the finding, according to an Ethics Commission decision.

Police 'hacked' No10 computers

The arrest of one of Tony Blair's top aides in the 'cash-for-honours' row was made after fresh information was uncovered during a search of the Number 10 computer system.



The investigation has left police officers at loggerheads with Labour politicians after Ruth Turner was arrested in a dawn swoop on her home.



The News of the World said it was informed by sources within the Crown Prosecution Service that a "mole" within Downing Street told the police about potentially incriminating emails.



An independent IT expert was then sent in by detectives, with the permission of Downing Street, to look through communications records, it claimed.



But the Sunday Telegraph suggested that detectives had obtained high-level permission to "hack" into the IT system remotely.



Senior Labour figures were quick to criticise Scotland Yard's tactics after officers arrived at the home of Turner at 6.30am on Friday.



Culture secretary Tessa Jowell and former cabinet colleague David Blunkett both said they were "bewildered" and others accused the police of "theatrics".



But Glen Smyth, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, has accused them of trying to "influence the inquiry" and putting them under "undue" pressure.



And the Labour chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority, Len Duvall, said no-one should try to "manipulate or pressurise" officers.
