Just an update. While the first officer had his charges dropped, the second officer arrested was find $580 bucks.

A Honolulu police officer has been convicted in Las Vegas of misdemeanor driving under the influence and marijuana charges stemming from his arrest last August. He was in Las Vegas to take part in a softball tournament.

A justice of the peace Tuesday found Kevin Fujioka, 38, guilty of the two misdemeanor charges and ordered Fujioka to pay $580 in fines and fees.

Prosecutor Bruce Nelson yesterday said that a felony charge of driving under the influence against Fujioka was dismissed because it conflicted with the misdemeanor DUI charge.

Prosecutors last month dropped a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge against another Honolulu police officer, 47-year-old Shayne Souza, after he pleaded guilty to obstructing a public officer.

Souza and Fujioka were arrested Aug. 15 in a van near a park several miles west of the Las Vegas Strip.

... thats all he has to pay? 

A slap on this wrist for criminal action such as this is just a small indicator of how effective, or shall I say in-effective our justice system is.  I have friends who are officers and respect them for what they do.  I realize at the end of the day we are all human, but because of this fact, we all should be held to the same responsibilities.

being a public figure of the law...you would think they would have a harsher penalty...but you do have to treat everyone equally which the judge did..

so the question is are they both still in HPD?
