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.
