From [HERE] The extra shifts that D.C. police Officer David J. Cephas volunteered for proved lucrative, authorities said, allowing him to rack up more than $17,000 in overtime in a single year by running mobile radar and writing speeding tickets. But the 12-year veteran pocketed the extra money while neglecting a crucial part of his job, according to authorities: He failed to conduct hourly tests to calibrate the digital units, then falsified logbooks to cover his tracks, forcing D.C. officials to nullify 200 citations and refund $17,550 to motorists caught in the traps. On Thursday, Cephas pleaded guilty in D.C. Superior Court to three misdemeanor counts of fraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 30, when he will face up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine on each count.

As part of his plea, he resigned from the department in June and agreed to pay back the money the District had to return to drivers ticketed with radar guns that police could not say were giving correct readings.
