... is Massachusetts State Trooper James Michael Vines, for his piggish and predatory sexual behavior towards female co-workers that has unbelievably gotten him banned from duty from both Logan International Airport as well as a local toll bridge.
Curiously, Vines's serial misuse of his official authority to attempt to garner favors from women somehow doesn't rise to the level of a firing offense for that particular agency. How useful can an officer be to them if he keeps getting banned from transportation centers?
" [A toll collector on the Tobin Bridge] is one of three women who filed complaints with the State Police in the past decade accusing Vines of sexually inappropriate behavior."
The hijinks finally culminated in Vines being slapped on the wrist with a 30-day suspension and a transfer to another barracks, presumably far away from female workers yet sadly still around the public. Sound disturbingly familiar? The toll-booth victim thinks so:
"'It’s like the archdiocese; they keep moving him around,' she said."
You know you've screwed up when your behavior is compared to that of church officials covering for a pedophile priest. Except Vines, for one, apparently doesn't seem to think he has a problem; he finally finished required sexual harassment training in 2009, three years after being ordered to take such a course.
Think about it. Would a walking liability suit like Vines be tolerated at your workplace? Of course not. So why are Massachusetts taxpayers being forced to pay such a wart on their society close to $130,000 annually to engage in these kinds of shenanigans?
