Trooper case should prompt rul
The Nebraska State Patrol needs to fashion better rules, procedures and union agreements to allow it to summarily dismiss troopers who do such things as joining white supremacist groups.
It shouldn’t take months of legal folderol to get rid of troopers who do things that cause legitimate concern about whether they can uphold the public trust.

Police Corruption on the Wane
The number of officials, dismissed from the Interior Ministry on charges of corruption, has decreased in 2006 compared to previous years, data shows.
The sacked officials for last year totalled 46, the largest part of them coming from traffic police, head of the monitoring department Nikolay Spasov announced. He spoke at a three-party meeting, where officials from Great Britain, Romania and Bulgaria discussed corruption combat and issues related to it.
Spasov stressed, however, that most susceptible to bribery are officials who have recently entered the Interior Ministry system.
An interior ministry servant was caught red-handed last year with BGN 2,000 taken under the counter, the largest bribe on record.
Police ranked as low as at the sixth spot in last year's survey on corruption, conducted by Transparency International. The poll showed that corruption has the strongest impact on the legal system and judiciary in Bulgaria, followed by the political parties, parliament, medical services, the business sector and the police.
Unlike Bulgaria, bribes are most commonly paid around the world to the police, and are substantially more frequent than to other services, it said.
Bulgaria is among the countries most affected by bribery, with at least 8% of the respondents saying they or anyone living in their household paid a bribe in any form in the last twelve months.
