A heroin dealer is arrested, and the police want to search his car. He refuses consent, so his car his impounded, a search warrant
is presented to a judge, and the judge agrees there is enough probable cause to search the car. (This whole process actually tooka
couple of day, as usual..) So the police search his car. A large container full of glitter is encountered. Could there be drugs in
there? Yes of course, we must check! During the checking of the container for drugs, the contents may have been completely
spilled out into the car. By accident, of course. Hmm..no drugs were in there. Boy, that sure made a mess though.

A cop I knew had been promoted to a Commander rank, and he was in charge of a lot of things at his police agency. He discovered
that he was in a position to exploit a weakness in the evidence room audit procedures, allowing him to pocket tens of thousands
of dollars over a couple years. An internal audit noticed something fishy, and the FBI started an investigation. The day before
they were going to bust him, he got tipped off somehow. The FBI agents were already watching him closely, and they were quite
alarmed and excited to see him that night driving liking a madman, stopping at random garbage dumpsters to throw in bags of
evidence that he hoped to quickly get rid of. He got arrested, charged, went to trial, convicted, and wound up in prison.

Speaking of bookkeeping flaws, we had a municipal court administrator once who figured out she could receive cash payments
from convicted criminals, and note in the record book that instead of cash they were showing her proof of community service
instead. She embezzled well over $100,000 dollars over a seven year period. She too went off to prison for that.

Me, talking to a man with a bloody face. He was, of all things, the owner of an art boutique downtown. There had been a dispute
with one of his commissioned artists that ended with his face getting punched, in the art shop. I can’t remember anything else
pertinent or noteworthy about this one, I just guess that if you were to ever ask me if I have ever met a bloody faced art store
owner, I can say yup.
