As the month nears its end, police officers actively seek arrests to fulfill their quotas. People committing consensual crimes, of course. Then there are those who get the collars and the cash. If somebody did notice, well, an arrangement could be made. Someday I want to be rich.
Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity.
That's how rich I want to be. Sometimes otherwise honest cops go wrong simply because the amounts of money involved in consensual crimes are entirely too tempting. These are cops, not saints. In addition to the opportunity for pilfering cash and drugs seized in raids, organized crime offers police large sums of money in exchange for information, participation, or cooperation. Should consensual crimes go the way of alcohol prohibition, there would be very little for law enforcement personnel on the take to take.
