PHILADELPHIA– A police officer in Philadelphia has been subject of a video in where he can be seen pressuring a driver to support a police fundraiser or have his car towed has been placed on desk duty, police have said.
Officer Matthew Zagursky embarrassed the local police department and may have committed a crime, Commissioner Charles Ramsey said.
During the video, the officer asks: “You and your friend got any money to buy these thrill show tickets? Either but these or I take your car.”
The uniformed officer balks at the driver’s plan to buy just two tickets, and the driver ultimately agrees to give the officer $ 30 for three tickets.
The fall fundraiser collects money for the families of police officers and firefighters killed on duty. Ramsey said the police department distributes tickets at district offices but does not pressure officers to sell a certain number.
