The real question is: who's watching the watchers?
The internal investigation into THP Lieutenant Ronnie Shirley gets a boost from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Lt. Shirley is already accused of gaining unauthorized access to a database used by all state law enforcement agencies.
He allegedly snooped into the personal data, such as driving histories, of 182 people. Now, THP wants the TBI to step in and check out other data bases and state equipment to see if Lt. Shirley also conducted unauthorized criminal background checks.
