I remember that one. Don’t remember the name though.
[ He used his credit card for the $4.76 McDonald’s meal and then forgot to remove the receipt from the fast-food bag he crumpled and stuffed inside the box before sending the package on its path to Oakland, California. ]
Heh. Just wait until cash is eliminated. Every transaction will be tracked. Once the RFID system is fully-implemented in every grocery store, tracking will be even easier there, too. I expect wealthier outlets like Amazon and WM to go there before any Mom and Pop shops (if any exist, anymore). Gotta have the money to implement the systems. Until it becomes mandatory.
Yep I think this sort of thing has gone on forever. Some cops can help themselves to some of the valuables. Some cops are directly paid off by drug dealers and other assorted criminals.
I interviewed an ex-cop while I was working in Louisville. He had just served a 5-year sentence for manufacturing and distributing steroids while he was a police officer in Louisville.
I had a mind to give him a chance since it was a $9.50/hr warehouse job but corporate thought otherwise.
Bet that arrogance has been wiped off his face.
If it is, it probably costs an extra $40,000, at least. I imagine.
It's one of those "secret menu" items that are so popular these days.
Darn!! I KNEW I was ordering from the wrong menu!!
Oh, the video on implementing the RFID system in the grocery store. This video is from 2007, BTW.

Looks fast and convenient. And it will be. It will cut down on theft, increase accuracy.
Everything will be fine until someone declares you need a 666 to officially be able to buy or sell with your debit card, credit card, micro-chip or cell-phone. All of your deposits will be tracked and logged. After cash is eliminated.
My gaydar just broke.
Willett and his attorney, Brian Butler, declined to comment for this story. Butler told reporters after Willett's sentencing that his client didn't steal from innocent people as the money was believed to be headed from local dealers to large-scale drug distributors.
Of course, in a cop's eyes no "citizen" is innocent.
400 deaths in Louisville? That’s an insanely high number to me. Maybe I am just out of touch. I have seen stories that pushers have been lacing heroin with a new very strong synthetic opiate, and that the addicts are overdosing because they shoot up a ‘normal’ size dose not knowing that this week’s supply is 10x stronger. I also read that for the drug pushers they have sort of crossed a rubicon - the addicts now are addicted to the synthetic and regular old heroin won’t work and has almost no demand. Every junkie now wants the synthetic.
But I didn’t know it killed 400 people in Louisville alone. The death toll across the country must be enormous. This is a big problem.
Sounds like some new FBI agents in training.
So he was really regular about looting freight.
Sounds like a group qualified to work at headquarters in DC.

Sound like something that would have tripped up Shane on The Shield
I have never posed in front of an American flag, but then again, Willett, I never did or would do what you did. So I didn’t need to.
Exactly. They kill each other for the opportunity to sell drugs. Think about all the shootings in Chicago and Baltimore - nearly all of it due to the war on drugs. Now think of the tens of thousands killed in Mexico because they are fighting to supply the US drug pushers. The whole thing is a bad idea. We learned this lesson during Prohibition. Why are we repeating it again?
I am not sure “legalization” is the answer. What, all the pot shops will now start selling heroin and cocaine? Not sure I like that idea. But at least decriminalization. We can enforce laws against dealing to children, and/or adulterating the drugs, and driving under influence etc. But otherwise what two consenting adults do in privacy is their business not mine.
Its a hard life for the 1/2 good cop.
And the rest of us unbadged peons.
