New Jersey Cop Jailed and Tortured in Canadian Prison
scottloperstory.com — Scott Loper, a former New Jersey Internal Investigations police officer, ran across a police-run drug ring in Durham, Ontario. Discovered as he was about to expose the ring, he was jailed under dubious charges after his wife was intimidated into filing a restraining order against him. He was sentenced for violating that restraining order.

- booyaman1, on 06/19/2008, -0/+11This is the first I've heard of this story. I'm still reading, but if there is any truth to this, this story definitely needs to make the front page!
- RogerStrong, on 06/19/2008, -5/+1The only source of information about it seems to be WorldNetDaily or people quoting WorldNetDaily.
WorldNetDaily is like the Weekly World New, but with NWO stories instead of UFO stories. The quality of "evidence" is the same: WWN would take a simple police officer's report of a strange light in the sky and turn it into a story about an alien invasion confirmed by police, with airbrushed pictures of spaceships and aliens. No doubt WND is doing the same thing here.
Considering WorldNetDaily's tendency to simply make stuff up, it's most likely fiction.- HarmonicGrid, on 06/21/2008, -1/+1World Net Daily is staffed by many former members of the main stream media who decided to work for an organization that is not controlled by big money interests.
Although they certainly seem to have a "right-wing" bent, they don't seem to have any qualms about exposing the truth in any area of the political spectrum.
There is no such thing as "unbiased" reporting. Anyone who believes one publication's story without doing a little of their own investigating is a fool. But he/she is more a fool who simply declares a story or a media organization as a falsehood when they obviously know little of the facts, let alone have the ability to consider and engage intelligent conversation and discussion.
Perhaps you should explore the website a little more, use a little logic, and see what happens. Just because a story is a little too incredible for you to wrap your mind around does not make it false.

The three of you obviously have some unresolved issues in your personality structure.
I've spent my time on the "other side" of the law. I went through a time when I had to have a human being in my house at all times to prevent the local cops who where constantly watching it from sneaking in and planting drugs so they could bust me.
There's crooked cops - there's crooked people.
I don't lose my respect for law enforcement because there are some jerks out there any more than I lose my respect for people as a whole because some of US are jerks.
I always find it quite amusing that those that want to call every cop a "pig" are the first ones to call the police when they feel they have been wronged.
Or, maybe you live in L.A., in which case I can understand. Been there, done that. f**k em'.
I've never been a cop, don't want to be a cop, never have even come CLOSE to THINKING about being a cop. I'm a musician. But I've know quite a few - both as friends and enemies, and I can say that most people go into law enforcement because they are socially minded and want to contribute something to society. It is sad that you don't realize that they do. We'd be in a sorry state of chaos without them. - upagaintwall, on 06/20/2008, -1/+1I never trusted NJ cops
- bosssmiley, on 06/20/2008, -1/+1Wait, wasn't this a subplot in "Twin Peaks"?
- AmericanDigger, on 06/20/2008, -0/+5Hardto imagine with a story like this that some find it a good chance
for humorous responses or worse yet blame the victim. Shows us all
how demented and uncaring some have become. - Heysal, on 06/20/2008, -2/+3What did we expect when we did not rally against torture by the US? If the masses don't rise against Bushco torture and demand that he and everyone in legislation who has not stopped his reign of terror to be fully prosecuted you are looking at the New World that we have all helped to construct through our apathy, ignorance, and self-satisfaction with our cushy comfy life styles.
- sexydarin, on 07/30/2008, -0/+4Bug the ***** out of your congressman to get this case heard.
- windycitybluez, on 07/31/2008, -0/+4It's a nightmare, all of you who make fun about this case, beware this can be you, it can happen to one of your loved ones, regardless if New Jersey Cops are not trustworthy this man is an American! and it should piss you off that first Canada, & then our own government have abused him & the power we citizens entrust on to them it should make you mad as hell if it doesn't then some thing is wrong with you & your character. I have sent the emails and I have contacted my own representatives everyone who travels as much as my wife & I do should be worried this can happen to any of us!!!
- Mike706, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1sent two letters out today to my congressmen, take action guys!
- youinc2008, on 10/21/2008, -0/+0Total ***** - this affects ALL of us!
The US State Department is putting the relationship with Canada over the rights of an American citizen WHO WAS TORTURED!!!
Enough is enough!
