It doesn't make any sense to release the people he arrested since they are criminals. The article says he was widely respected. If his record is clean, I think he should be allowed to apply for citizenship.
Yes reward the criminal behavior......thats the liberal spirit!

Because they were arrested by someone who wasn't a cop. It's the same idea as if they were sentenced by someone who wasn't a judge.
That's not how our laws are done here. Proper protocol was not taken. Therefore, they should all be released immediately.
It looks like this Alaska police officer was a cop under a stolen identity. He was an illegal immigrant. To me, that makes every one of his arrests null and void and all that he arrested should go free immediately as he was no more a cop than I am. And non-cops, particularly non-citizens, i.e. illegal immigrants, can't arrest and charge people with crimes.

You think in simplistic terms....that's the uneducated spirit!
I don't agree that any wheels ought to be greased to give him citizenship. In fact, he should be prosecuted for stealing someone's identity.

His arrests should be reviewed, I'm sure most if not everything he did was proper, besides stealing an identity obviously,
It is possible that felons convicted due to his testimony will have the right to appeal based on this new development. As to his arrests being null and void? You don't have to be a police officer to arrest someone. Quite a background check they must run on police officer candidates. Idiots.

No, but you DO have to be a legal citizen. You can't be an illegal alien and arrest anyone. So, like I said, all of the arrests should be null and void. It doesn't matter the outcome of the case criminal court, the arrest and charge was invalid thus so is the case.
so, only the lawbreakers YOU think should be punished... should be punished, eh?

What!!!!!!!!!!!! he committed several crimes...hes here illegal thats one...falsifying his identity..and identification paper..drivers license, Social Security etc...hes committed fraud and a multitude of other crimes...put his arse in jail and then deport him.
Liberal spirit? Conservative spirit? It all depends on the criminals, and who they support. Liberals would support an illegal alien. Conservatives would support Ken Lay. It's all about perspective. But, honestly, I am not going to stand by what I just posted, since putting labels on everybody and everything shows only partisan hackery, and little, if any, knowledge of reality.
You forgot that he was well-respected, well-liked police officer who put criminals behind bars and while here, had a positive impact on American society. He should be tried and be allowed to apply for citizenship. He's been here since the 1980s - I look at the man more than the crime.
......20 million Illegal Immigrants later......its apparent Democrats never look at the crime do they?

The way I see it, the man was a police officer. He was trained, sworn in, and worked that job (apparently) in good faith. Obviously he got the job under false pretenses and should be immediately fired, benefits pulled, etc, and appropriate charges filed against him.
However, I would argue in the inevitable appeals that because he performed his duties in good faith as a sworn officer of the law and followed police procedures, the people he arrested are not entitled to automatic release. (although obviously there's going to be investigation on those arrests to make sure there was no improper actions taken)
That said, I have no idea what the law or court precedents say about a situation like this, because I don't think I've heard of a case like this happening before.
I understand that. But 1) Releasing criminals puts society at risk. 2) He was technically a cop and it doesn't seem like the police department thinks his arrests will be overturned, so I'm inclined to believe that overturning decisions isn't as automatic as you make it out to be.
