But I know practically nothing. Which is usually how it is when you comment on things like this. Ignoring the elementary rule of logic that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, you carve conspiracy theories out of whole cloth, and then fail to back them up with evidence when such evidence is requested. So, just to be clear, this is the usual case where you lack any and all evidence to support it, but invent a conspiracy out of whole cloth, anyway, right? (Oh, and in case you're wondering, CFR. Put up or shut up! ) 2

Kenngo1969 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I'm not sure if anyone has posted BYU's response to DPS - POST's Notice of Intent to Decertify. (I'm still reading it). If so, please forgive the duplication. https://news.byu.edu/sites/default/files/2019-0322-byus-response-to-notice-to-decertify-university-police.pdf In summary (this is a rough-and-ready summary which I offer in good faith: If I've misstated anything here, I welcome correction) investigators from the State Bureau of Investigation conducted a criminal investigation and referred the matter to prosecutors to screen for charges. Prosecutors declined to file charges. BYU retained outside counsel to conduct its own internal investigation into the matter, and supplied information to DPS - POST pursuant to that investigation. BYU PD initiated discipline against the officer who was the subject of its investigation, who then surrendered his certification and retired. BYU PD contacted DPS - POST and the Attorney General's and inquired whether any further information was needed, receiving no formal response from DPS - POST. In fact, the only response BYU PD received from DPS - POST after offering to provide whatever information it was legally required and permitted to provide (from DPS Commissioner Jess Anderson) was, "We're way past dialogue now." I need to see if I can get any more sleep before I have to get up and go to work. 1
