It should be illegal for any law enforcement investigator to sell information gathered by acting in an official capacity. This goes for every chiseling cop who got a book or movie deal about a serial killer. You’re a public employee and you have access to information only in your capacity as a public employee. You have no right to trade on it.

Sense of integrity or do you just hate cops?

I work in the entertainment industry. It’s patently obvious some cops actively direct investigations from the get-go with an eye to trading on their status as “lead investigator” or the “the guy who caught ____” by writing books or movies containing PRIVILEGED information, gathered at the behest of the GOVERNMENT.

Everything and anything connected with government — and make no mistake, this is a GOVERNMENT investigation — being for sale is the hallmark of third world crapholes.

Oh, and “do I just hate cops?” Um, do your parents know you’re using their computer while they’re out?
