Over in Bedford, Virginia, there was a sheriff neck deep in drug dealing. He got away with it for over a decade, and it took the FBI to end his regime. Would modern domestic surveillance tech be enough to put guys like him out of business?

Why bother? Just raid his home without a warrant, plant a little *flake* evidence and tainted cash, and charge him with money laundering as well, then sieze his home and personal property as assets of his continuing criminal enterprise. And if he should resist in any way, or refuse to cooperate, just kill him on the spot.

After all, that's how they've been doing iot to other citizens. And they're supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law. And many of them have accumulated quite a bit of tasty stuff over the years of their *public service.*

“plant a little *flake* evidence”

Investigations should be digitally recorded from beginning to end.

The future good news will be that DNA testing could help expose planted fake evidence.
