..and I hear the narrator say: "Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent Tony Pineda is assigned the case"

I do believe you are correct. It is the right area of Florida and he is/was a LEO.

It's Tony Pineda, former national commander. He's a FDLE police, and some true crime show is looking at one of his former cases.
Meh, so what....this reminds me of couples tha tbreak up and then still monitor each other on Facebook...

I guess what I didn't get is the whole HHSNBN/Voldemort reference. I thought that was someone else?

Nope, that's him. Apparently he's evil incarnate.

Tony is a retired FL.B.I. officer who is now a successful real estate broker. CAP is a distant memory for him and his family. His tenure in CAP should be a distant memory for us as well, however... ::)
His tenure was like a bad dream for many CAPers.... it never happened! :D
Must have happened during my 6 year absence. I don't remember this guy.

Consider yourself lucky.
Was HEADCAP from Jul 2005-Oct 2007, eventually demoted to SM and terminated from CAP.
Many wings and regions, not to mention the organization as a whole, are still suffering
from personnel and policy changes he implemented.
It was a very busy time for the MARB.
I actually met him once; of course, this was before he showed his true colours.

However, he did come up with one outstanding idea - the Corporate Service Uniform - but he made a hash out of the way it was introduced.
Is he still in Law Enforcement? After what he did in CAP I would find it extremely difficult to give him any credibility as a police officer...

He retired around the same time he was terminated from CAP.
I'd have to wonder if the unethical BS he pulled in CAP .. could possibly reflect on his cases ...
Am I the only one that finds the name of the show he is on rather ironic in light of how his CAP career ended?
Well, yes, there is that... Except yeah, he did get away with a lot, too.
Certainly not the only CC to ever get away with shenanigans .. ;)

I was going to let my membership expire and not renew at the end of 2006 due to dilemma I found myself in. There were several issues that were of concern (won't go into them but some you just live with and move along). However, the primary concern that I kept dealing with was: "How could I as a Chaplain teach and exhort our cadets to practice the CAP Core Values when the National Commander was violating them left and right?" As my dear late grandma used to describe some individuals: "He's so crooked that when he dies, they will just dampen the ground and screw him in." Fortunately, a good friend -- who had been a member for a lot longer than I -- and I had a long, frank discussion about this. He shared about the nature of CAP being a dynamic organization and not a static display and how it could change at a moment's notice. Reluctantly, I renewed my membership my membership and continued to watch things go from bad to worse --- but there is a God!!! Or make that a BOG -- who delivered a great smack down. Had I left the organization back then, I would have missed several outstanding opportunities that have since come my way to serve this organization. Eclipse is right in that we are still affected by some of the decisions/events that occurred during this time period. But we are in far better shape as an organization than that which we were in 2007.
The US Ranger Corps Inc. is an active non-profit corporation in Florida but the web site on go daddy no longer exists. I didn't check the 501(c) status.
After carefully scouring the interwebs, and finding all I ever wanted to know about this, I have to say, maybe there was something in the air. The reason I took 6 years off, from 06 to 12, was I had an archnemesis in my unit who no one could stand. I've told the story on different threads, but the gist is that she basically ran me out of my job as DCC and tried to turn the unit into mother-daughter happy fun time. Spaatz at age 14 or 15. Promoted every 2 months, while mom had access to testing materials. Anyway, long story short, her career ended when she tried to sue our 70-something CC for sexual harassment. You can imagine how far that went. I made the decision to leave and come back when the dust settled. So did a lot of others, who came back when they heard I came back, figuring things were safe. It was, for a time.
I fail to understand how people can be so...whatever. Deny deny deny. I read the CAPTalk threads from back then, and I'm amazed the accuser even was allowed to stay in as long as he did.
Oh well. There are bound to be a few weirdos in any organization, and if you can't spot him/her, chances are it's YOU.

And he is still running his anti-CAP web page.
Anti-CAP .. oh the irony. He made it turn against him.

Well....to keep the record straight.....the accuser was no longer in CAP when he became the accuser.....the only reason why he "blew the whistle" was because HWSNBN would not intervene on his behalf to squash a 2b proceeding.

Based on the existence of this thread, apparently
somebody does.
The more we regurgitate Tony Pineda (aka HWSNBN, Fat Tony, etc), and his CAP career, the more we hurt CAP. Let's just let it go. It's been almost eight years since he was ousted. Let his legend die.
Those that forget the past, are prone to repeat it.
Those that don't, are left with the stink!
Ill Just leave this here.
