In early June we reported on an incident where a woman photographed a police officer in Coral Gables only to have her memory card deleted. She managed to recover the deleted pictures and file a complaint against the officer involved: Officer Nelson Rodriguez.

I guess he did not want anyone to see that he was yapping away on his cell phone when he should have been working. That’s the only explanation we can think of that explains his bizarre behavior.
Seems the Coral Gables Police department is more concerned about their public image than about the behavior of their officers though:

June 24, 2008: The Internal Affairs of Coral Gables police called me, expressing, as an agency, a concern over the negative connotation this report may give to a public, as well as acknowledging the other blogs and sites featuring the content of my report.

Hope they included this site!!
If they are still monitoring the reports then GET IT STRAIGHT: the REPORT did NOT give the public a negative connotation about Coral Gables – Officer Rodriguez did that!!
