In 2002, Officer Pivero was suspended for 16 days for insubordination, truthfulness, cooperation, and conduct toward supervisors after refusing to translate a defendant’s statement from Spanish to English, citing his lack of fluency. He retired in 2002 and was placed on the Laurie List in 2017, 14 years after retirement, without prior notification. Pivero has been contesting his inclusion on the list, seeking removal through legal action.

Important Community Guidelines
It is strictly against our rules to:
Make threats of any kind
Share private information such as personal emails, home addresses, or phone numbers
Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.
Why This Matters
By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
