Cops make the best crooks...
Got a similar scam running in Dallas County, TX. Two constables set up an agreement with one towing company without bids, evidence of kickbacks. When the DA, who is a Democrat, as are the Constables, was told about it, he stonewalled an investigation.
At least in Flagler County, the authorities took action.
“Cops make the best crooks...”
I understand why you’d say this, but from where I sit, there are many politicians who could give cops a good run for their money. And the amounts involved—e.g., $90K in Rep. Jefferson’s freezer—aren’t exactly chump change. Although, if you’ll recall, the formerly powerful chair of Ways and Means, Dan Rostenkowski (”sixth most significant politician to come from Chicago in the twentieth century”), got taken down for some pretty petty antics such as converting his officially purchased stamps for cash at the House post office.
