  The reality of the situation: The Officers will probably accept a plea-bargain and pay a $100 fine with some type of probation and maintain working. Why?? The system will try to protect the integrity of the system. They can't have private citizens looking down on Law Enforcement. The problem that most citizens have, is the double standard of enforcement. The State employees (County Prosecutors, State Police, DNR Conservation Officers) will work together to protect the integrity of the system. They will downplay the situation and the officers will get special treatment, not because they are Officers of the Law, but to protect the integrity of the system. They can't have taxpaying citizens loosing their trust and faith in the system set-up to protect and serve. So they will do whatever necessary to protect their position.

  A few other comments and questions...Did they trak the deer throught the snow and woods, or was some one else involved? If they tracked the deer themselves how did they explain their time out of the vehicle?How did they transport the deer after recovery? In the police vehicle...if not who transported the carcass for them? Did they process the deer themselves or did some one else process it for them? I am not sure, but don't they have to account for each bullet used? If so, how did they explain the MISSING bullet at the end of their shift? I am a resident of Mograin Road, if it was a buck how many points? I want to thank the concerned citizen for having the honor of turning in any poacher.

  Do we give a citizen that has done this this many comments on what we think? What about the person who killed the wolf up in the UP, did they comment like you are commenting on this. They will pay the price, should they lose their jobs, I'm not sure. But I feel sorry for the co-workers who are having to still work with the public. They are having this reflect on them and not EVERYONE is like these two individuals. They are honest and I'm sure would be cooperative at this time, not like Dan who mentioned that it has happened with others. Obviously everyone who has posted something does not have anything better to do except complain.

  These two are truly a embaressment to the hard working cops that are here to protect and serve. These are the people that are responsible to uphold the law. The fact that they are spending their time on duty breaking the law insted of upholding it is more than enough reason for them to be fired. I know if I was caught poaching deer, or doing anything illegal, while at work I would be let go asap. Just think you, as a tax payer, were paying their wages while they cruised the back roads shining deer. This probly wasn't the first time they had done it, they just found the right buck this time. I am confident most cops are not like these two. The Prosecuting Attorney seems to be treating them just like anyone else.

  First of all, no matter how you cut it, this crime is a misdemeanor. Second, it is HIGHLY unlikely that the "average citizen" would see jail time for an illegal deer. Third, I agree...can them. What a terrible decision and a stupid supid thing to do.

  They should lose their jobs. I bet they would have no trouble filling their positions at this time, with two individuals who would uphold the law honorably.

  If this was about to "civilians" they would be locked up, loose their hunting rights and guns, vehical ect ect. BUT because this is about 2 cops, they will sliode on by. By law they loose their right to carry a firearm after comiting a FELONY. We'll have to wait and see if they are treatewd like common people,

  These 2 men are supposedly are hired to serve the law. They didn't, so fire them on the spot. They were on-duty when they commited this crime.

  It's good to see a prosecutor that will prosecute anyone who breaks the law, regardless if they are a law enforcement officer or an average citizen. The video states the officers have admitted to the crime. We will see what their punishment will be from the judicial system they took an oath to serve and protect.

  Was this at night....and even before gun season opened....I don't think I could trust or respect these two officers if they are allowed to return to full duty. Not a good character reference for our children. Will they be prosecuted for a felony or misdemeanor? Shame on them!!!

  If found guilty I hope they get full extent that the law allows, not just a slap on the wrist because of being a State Trooper
