She still has a job. In Iowa, if you catch the Governor (Repub) speeding, they fire you.

(12,769 posts)1. So for doing the right thing and being harassed by other cops
they took her off the streets? I hope every cop that looked up her address is fired and that she gets a hell of a lot of money for her duress.

who, by the way, became a casualty of due process AFTER being harassed.
Lots of that going around. I had enough of it in 2013 myself as a local official for doing what was right. The message she got? You are going to pay! Ha! How typical of a bully tactic.
I hope you get the half million for your trouble and start up a campaign of police (especially women) doing the right thing.

Iowa fires agent who pursued gov's speeding SUV
A veteran Iowa criminal investigator said he was fired Wednesday in retaliation for complaining about the governor's vehicle speeding through highway traffic, an assertion state officials rejected.
Special Agent in Charge Larry Hedlund of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation learned of his termination during a meeting in Des Moines, following a 2 ½ -month personnel investigation launched days after he filed an April 29 complaint about Gov. Terry Branstad's SUV traveling 90 mph.
Hedlund said his firing after a 25-year law enforcement career was devastating, and that he would "take to my grave" a belief that it was done because of his complaint. His attorney, Tom Duff, vowed to file a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination.
