NYPD Throws The Book At Ex-NYPD Officer’s Log

James Giordonello, a retired NYPD police sergeant recently listed his official 1990 duty log on eBay. It details his actions over a four month period. When NYPD authorities detected this, they demanded that eBay cancel his auction. eBay immediately complied. The NYPD has a policy that active officers may not sell their memo books. It’s unclear if the NYPD policy extends to retired cops too. However, New York State law prohibits the dissemination of info collected while on official duty. This seems more applicable here so long as there’s no statute of limitations. One thing is certain for now. Mr. Giordonello’s dreams of becoming an eBay Power Seller with his NYPD history just got whacked.
