LOL! Ya think a cop is going to show up in Hawaii upon his retirement, driving a half million dollar yacht, in front of his ocean front home without everyone that ever knew him asking hard questions? Get real.
Of course, cash and jewelry can also be used more immediately than post-retirement, although it is more difficult to buy physical assets like real estate and nice cars without getting caught. Folks can be very creative at hiding money: friends, relatives, business ventures with creative accounting, etc. But no, none of this matters to you because you think all Bad Guys immediately go buy a Porsche and a seaside home with their bribe money, and in their own name to boot. I’d say it is you who is naive.
“Nice” “talking” with you. But I’m afrain your understanding of police realities stops and starts with bad television shows. I suggest some remedial reading of LAPD officer Jack Dunphy’s work on the subject. http://www.bing.com/search?q=%22jack+dunphy%22+%22financial+disclosure%22&src=IE-SearchBox
Of course, you won’t read it. You are only interested in slinging insults and pretending that you know what you’re talking about. Talk to some police officers a little bit and see what they have to say.
You do a great disservice to your username. Consider changing it to ACLU.
It’s not that these officers have anything to hide. Their resistance to financial disclosure is not rooted in corruption but rather in practicality. They have been given no assurances as to who will have access to their financial information, so they are fearful of being subjected to identity theft or worse should their personal data fall into the wrong hands. Also, they know that if there were a corrupt cop in their midst, it is unlikely he would be exposed through an examination of his tax returns and other official information. Any cop clever enough to be a crook these days is clever enough to hide his money where it won’t be easily found.Source
Which is ... pretty much exactly what I said initially, which you laughed at.
Bye.
Live low. I know a few pols that have done that and a few cops. Nothing that you could prove in court but in the world of evil Cash is king.
