Ernest Kaminski

Ernest Kaminski is a character role-played by Pasty.

General Description
Ernest Kaminski is a Deputy for the Senora Desert Sheriff's Office, Badge #945.

Ernest was a founding member of the Neighbourhood Watch - a group of civilians that patrol the streets of Los Santos aiming to clean the streets of criminal activity. Although meaning well, Kaminski and the other members of the Watch often get into dangerous and sometimes weird situations whilst on patrol.

Background Information
Ernest was kidnapped and set on fire on his first patrol of the city by a pair of hobos, who had mistaken him for the owner of Burger Shot. However, he managed to identify his attackers after they posted an image of themselves holding him hostage with a gun on Twatter, he then delivered one of them to Mission Row in a taxi on the premise that they would be going to rob a warehouse full of drugs.

Kaminski volunteered at the Mission Row parking lot for the Los Santos Police Department, before the role was made an official position. Because of this, he claims to be the founding father of the PD Booth guards. His duties involved sitting in a booth ensuring there was no trespassing on police grounds, and keeping a log of all police officers, and which vehicles they left/entered the premises in. He was later hired to work there officially when the parking attendants role was created at MRPD, until he was hired as a cadet in the Los Santos Police Department.

Kaminski (along with friend John Riggs) took a break from active duty for a few months, after they both discovered internet pornography and it took them "a few months to download it all".

On March 29th 2022, Kaminski was promoted to full officer in a no-thrills LSPD meeting taking place in a small briefing room at Bob Smith PD (along with friend John Riggs). During this meeting it was outed by Tracy Martell that they were secretly considering transferring to the Senora Desert Sheriff's Office. They accused the Chief of Police Sam Baas of not even knowing their names, and then proceeded to sneak out of the room together whilst the other officers in the room argued among themselves. Around a week later after much deliberation Riggs transferred to the SDSO with Kaminski, following their idol Toretti who first hired them at the LSPD. Martell was extremely disappointed with their "betrayal" and told them not to contact her any more for help/advice.

Breakup with Riggs
After their transfer to the SDSO, Kaminski noticed that Riggs was spending a lot of time with Martell. Frequently accusing him of having "poon brain". When Kaminski phoned Riggs at one point to ask where he was, Riggs mentioned that he was at Martell's house. He later told Kaminski that she had invited him over to her house to discuss something, and that she was wearing nothing but her lingerie. This further reinforced that Martell had Riggs under her control like a Succubus in Kaminski's mind.

During a bench trial, Riggs was forced under oath to admit that he was in fact attracted to Martell. A few weeks later, Riggs told Kaminski that he would not be around their shared apartment for a while as he was "house sitting" for his ex-wife while she was away on vacation. Riggs also later told Kaminski that he was in a relationship with a woman he had met called "Silver Duct".

One day whilst off-duty, Kaminski got pulled over by Chad Gable for speeding after buying a new motorcycle. He decided to ignore Gable and turned off into the UWU parking lot, and was subsequently arrested. He was processed and sent to jail, which also meant he had to be suspended from active duty for 24 hours.

Following his release from jail, after arguing with Riggs in front of Lance Malton and Peach Chee, it was decided that Riggs and Kaminski should sit down and talk things through at their apartment. With mediation from Malton and Peach (later being joined by Martell). During the meeting, it got heated and Kaminski accused Riggs of holding him back during his cadet phase, and said he was made a full officer too soon. He also said Riggs was not spending enough time with him any more, thanks to his "poon brain". Riggs confessed to Kaminski that he had not been house sitting for his ex-wife, and that "Silver Duct" was a made up woman. Riggs stated that he was in fact having casual sex with a certain Captain of the LSPD (Martell). Kaminski accused Martell of trying to gas-light him, as she had earlier complained that Kaminski kept accusing her of having sex with Riggs. This made Martell furious, saying it was none of his business. Wanting to hurt Kaminski, Martell told him that it was Riggs who had in fact cheated with his then-wife years ago, which lead to his divorce. Riggs admitted that this was true, and Kaminski told Riggs to pack his belongings before kicking him out of the apartment.
