Bradshaw is less interesting than the dynamics of the hot line itself. Utterly ruthless and depraved civil servants are a dime a dozen. The more compelling question is how their policies affect average citizens who are suddenly able to wield the power of government against their neighbors. Bradshaw has assured the public that the police “know how to sift through frivolous complaints.” But the respected law enforcement expert Jim Donahue has argued that the Sheriff’s office “is led by the kind of people my dad fought in WWII to defeat. They are threatening the very fabric of our republic.”

Place I live, we can’t move without some creep snitching – and the cops host a monthly [anti]community “snitch ‘n’ bitch” meeting in the local hall.
I’ll be printing off a copy of the piece and passing it around some of the more libertarian minded neighbours.
Now, where did I put the Hoppes No9…
