Tee hee.

That's why I no longer live there.

About 20 years ago (just you give you some prospective on how things are run
there) about 1/3 of the sheriff's department ended up going to jail.   Turns
out they are breaking into homes and businesses.

To anyone who paid attention at the time, all the crooked deputies didn't
end up in jail.  The investigation stopped short.   "They" found a guy who
"took a fall" and was convicted (and lost his job) over a $5 padlock.   This
was to convince "the people" that the investigation had run its course.

There were less than honest deputies working there when I left and some of
them had helped bring in the present sheriff (the sheriff who saw 1/3 of his
force go to jail was RE-ELECTED once).

Their SOP when a citizen complains about criminal act is to find some charge
on which they can arrect the guy who had the nerve to complain!    One
example from years ago was a guy who called up because he saw someone
sneaking about his home.   The guy took his gun with him to check things
out.   When the "deputy" arrived, he put the pistol in his pocket.   The
"deputy" arrested him for carrying a concealed weapon.  Basically, if you
like in Spotsylvania, it's a waste of time to call the "cops."

Eventually they will get too greedy and maybe "this time" the authorities
will truly clean house but I don't think so.

I believe that corruption has become "institutionalized" in the criminal
"justice" system there.
