Sounds like something that our legislators, county commissioners and
city councilors could do when they're not in session -- they seem to
have an aptitude for doing harm to others using the system to make
the laws, now they can spend some time on the front lines of the War
on Everyone Else that they helped create.
It seems like the now-ended series _The Shield_ is becoming more of a
docudrama every day.
Here's the text of the classified ad, dated 3 November 2008 --
WANTED People that hang out with crooks to do part-time work for the
Albuquerque Police Dept. Make some extra cash! Drug use OK. Criminal
Record? Not a problem. Must be willing to work odd hours. Give us a
call and we can work out the details. CONFIDENTIALITY GUARANTEED!!!
Leave a message with a Good phone number and your call will be
returned. (505) xxx-xxxx
(I removed the number, as this list is open for public scrutiny and I
don't want to be spreading their contact information and thus assist
in this stupidity.)

The cops, prison guards, prosecutors, etc., etc., love it -- it's all
about job security.
