Funnily enough, this is not a pro-cop argument. It's an anti-spending government money on anything but the essentials argument. I think it's not unreasonable to expect such "audits". I also think that few people would take the job at current salaries with those added requirements. But we could afford to pay that added extra if we weren't subsidizing bastardy, indolence, and addiction.
35K sounds about right to me.
