We're the Only Ones Unbiased Enough

The judge replied, as judges there often do: "I find Officer Kanapsky's testimony to be credible. He is an unbiased witness."

But the officer is not really unbiased. The more tickets he writes, the more overtime he gets. Last year, Kanapsky spent so much time in court he increased his pay by $21,000.
Really. Who would ever believe an "Only One" would be motivated by more money. For himself. To buy stuff with. And live better.

It defies belief.

Asset forfeiture in drug cases was good for the DEPARTMENT. Here, they have a way to profit INDIVIDUALLY from inflicting misery in small but significant ways.
Sure beats fighting violent criminals in the 'hood. Might not live to spend that 50% bonus.

only until the 'hood finds out, then deals out street justice. i guess The Life pulls you in, no matter who you are.

The judge lied. He didn't believe Kanapsky. But he can't get the money if he doesn't say he believes him.
