This Hidden Camera Caught a Cop in the Act of Something Shocking

Published on April 18, 2022
Most of us know that when we are out and about that there are cameras watching our every move. What we might not realize, though, is that these hidden cameras can pick up some pretty surprising things, and that’s exactly what happened to Deputy Tony Scherb of the El Paso police department. He had been on the force for 29 years at this point, and he had a reputation of being fairly serious and strict. So, it was a shock to everyone who saw the footage of him in the elevator that was captured by a hidden camera.

It was a Special Day

The day that Tony Scherb was caught on camera in the elevator was actually pretty special. It was the day of his retirement. He stepped into the elevator with a spring in his step, not realizing that every move was being caught on film.

Tony was one of the longest-serving officers on the force, but it was all going to be over in a matter of hours. After 30 long years of working in the traffic and transport units, the day had finally come when he was going to finally hang up his badge and put his gun away.

He Didn’t Realize There was a Camera

When Tony stepped onto the elevator, he didn’t realize that there was a camera. The camera was recently installed because the elevator kept malfunctioning, and the building manager wanted to see why.

We All Do This…

It doesn’t matter who you are, when you step into an empty elevator, you don’t immediately think that there is a camera there. So, you may do things that you aren’t expecting other people to see. This is exactly what Tony did on his last day at the office.
