Hundreds of state troopers may have falsified thousands of traffic tickets, audit finds
Connecticut state police troopers may have falsified thousands of traffic tickets.
WFSB reports a recent audit found nearly 26,000 fake tickets.
According to an internal investigation, troopers falsified tickets for their own personal benefit as those who appear productive are often eligible for federally funded overtime.
And lawmakers are now demanding answers.
Governor Ned Lamont said those who intentionally wrote bogus tickets should be let go, including management.
The audit also reportedly found that troopers not only falsified thousands of tickets but more than 32,000 were inaccurate.
