HELMETTA – A borough police officer is the subject of an investigation after video surfaced of the officer telling a resident police don’t follow the U.S. Constitution because President Obama doesn’t either.

"Obama has decimated the friggin' constitution, so I don't give a damn," Officer Robert Recine says on the tape. "If he doesn't follow the Constitution, we don't have to."

The comments were made on Monday after Helmetta resident Steven Wronko and his daughter, Erin, 13, attempted to file an Open Public Records Act Request at the Helmetta Municipal Building seeking information about the local animal shelter.

Police were called when Wronko began snapping cellphone photos of the municipal bulletin board, according to Wronko’s wife, Collene.

Borough Administrator Herbert C. Massa said Wednesday Helmetta Police Director Robert Manney is investigating the incident.

Manney appears in the video telling Wronko to leave the building.

“He is in the process of reviewing the video,” Massa said. “There will be an investigation and a determination will be made about what happened.”

Massa said Recine remains on duty.

Collene Wronko said problems began after her family adopted a dog from the Helmetta Animal Shelter that they thought was healthy. Instead, the dog turned out to be ill with parasites and the family spent about $4,000 on medical bills.

They tried to approach shelter officials for more information but police were called. When they tried to serve an OPRA request at municipal hall seeking additional information police again were called and the Obama comments were made, Collene Wronko said.

Wronko said the OPRA request has not been served because her husband was thrown out of the building.

“We’re afraid to go back,” Wronko said. “We don’t know if we’re going to be arrested or what’s going to happen to us.”

so this morning, i made the mistake of listening to NJ 101.5 and Jim Gerhart is carrying on about how he doesn't see any issue here...and doesn't understand the problem. i almost drove off the road.

then the cop calls in "unexpectedly" and is trying to dance around the issue, it was real entertaining.  he says he was being "sarcastic" and that anyone who knows him would understand it.  its nice to see how that translates to complete strangers while working.

O-K, so the Cop quit his PT job with Helmetta.  He already had 29 years in with another dept.....  Does his face in the video look like he cares?

 

The REAL story here is the Shelter!  Let's concentrate on THAT instead of Cop bashing, O-K???????????  What about all of the mistreated and sick animals?????
