FL police officer planted drugs during traffic stops, 'tailored' body cam video

A former Florida deputy was arrested Wednesday morning on numerous charges that he planted street drugs like meth on unsuspecting motorists before hauling them off to jail.

Zach Wester, 26, was arrested on felony charges of racketeering, official misconduct, fabricating evidence, possession of a controlled substance and false imprisonment.

Hmm...no interest in this story?

I'm interested in the motivation for this sort of crime.

What is the motivation for planting evidence on people, what purpose could it possibly serve?

Power tripping, getting arrest numbers up, or they are people the officer "knows" is guilty but just can't find any evidence for, so they create the evidence.

Good thing he got caught.

Only a few bad apples.

I saw this locally since I live in Florida. So sad. Being arrested is devastating for people, especially innocent, knowing many won't believe them when they claim it was planted. Horrible that this happens; I'm glad he was caught.
