To Protect and Perve – California Cops Share Nude Photos Stolen From Citizens' Cellphones
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
The new court documents describe a second incident involving a 19-year-old woman who was in a DUI crash in Livermore on Aug. 7. On Harrington’s phone, Holcombe located two photos of that DUI suspect in a bikini accompanied by a text message from the day of the arrest from Harrington to Hazelwood: “Taken from the phone of my 10-15x while she’s in X-rays. Enjoy buddy!!!”
A “10-15x” is CHP code for a woman in custody. The woman may have been at a hospital to have X-rays taken after the crash
Hazelwood replies: “No f—— nudes?”
– From the San Jose Mercury News article: CHP officer says stealing nude photos from female arrestees ‘game’ for cops
The worst thing about the government’s reckless response to the financial crisis of 2008, even worse than the trillions in taxpayer bailouts and backstops granted to the financial criminals that created the disaster, is the primary lesson that it sent to American society as a whole. Some people like to call it “moral hazard,” but in more pedestrian terms it really just boils down to: The Bad Guys Got Away with It.
That statement may seem childish and simplistic to many, but it’s very true and very destructive. When people with corrupt intentions and questionable moral standards see themselves as having won the day, they become energized and more encouraged, while decent people who want to do the right thing and believe in meritocracy, become demoralized and disenfranchised. This is how a civil society dies, and unfortunately, this is largely what has happened over the past six years.
While this result can be witnessed throughout all aspects of American life, it becomes most dangerous when it takes firm hold within institutions that wield considerable authority, whether that be banks, the IRS, or police departments. While I have spent countless hours documenting the impact within all of the above (and many more), this article focuses on the latest example of the abuse of authority from a domestic police force.
The San Jose Mercury News reported the following:
The California Highway Patrol officer accused of stealing nude photos from a DUI suspect’s phone told investigators that he and his fellow officers have been trading such images for years, in a practice that stretches from its Los Angeles office to his own Dublin station, according to court documents obtained by this newspaper Friday.
CHP Officer Sean Harrington, 35, of Martinez, also confessed to stealing explicit photos from the cellphone of a second Contra Costa County DUI suspect in August and forwarding those images to at least two CHP colleagues. The five-year CHP veteran called it a “game” among officers, according to an Oct. 14 search warrant affidavit.
Yes, a “game.”
Harrington told investigators he had done the same thing to female arrestees a “half dozen times in the last several years,” according to the court records, which included leering text messages between Harrington and his Dublin CHP colleague, Officer Robert Hazelwood.
“The callousness and depravity with which these officers communicated about my client is dehumanizing, horribly offensive and degrading to all women,” he said. “It’s going to lead to another level of mistrust and skepticism to the motive of law enforcement in general.”
As this newspaper first reported earlier this week, the investigation began with a single incident: Harrington’s conduct during the Aug. 29 arrest of the San Ramon woman. The woman discovered that photos had been stolen from her phone five days after her release, when she noticed on her iPad that the photos had been sent to an unknown number. A record of the messages had been deleted from her iPhone, but the phone had been synced to the iPad.
Think about this for a moment. The officer went out of his way to cover his tracks, and it was only by chance that she discovered the privacy violation. How many other women across the country have been abused in a similar manner and didn’t happen to discover the theft?

Hazelwood replies: “No f—— nudes?”
While there will always be bad people abusing authority within any society, the worst part about this incident is the fact that the cops are likely to barely receive any punishment at all despite the fact the “behavior constitutes felony computer theft” according to the Contra Costa district attorney’s affidavit.
In contrast, if it was a child prodigy who was trying to do some good for society, like Aaron Swartz, he would be hunted down like a rabid dog and threatened with a century in jail until he committed suicide. As a society, we are incentivizing evil, theft and corruption, while criminalizing honor, civil disobedience and decency.

base pay for a California Highway Patrol officer starts at $67,764 a year, with 5 percent annual increases until reaching $84,036.
more than 5,000 California troopers made at least $100,000 in 2011
Connie and Vincent Lambres, who were husband-and-wife highway patrol sergeants in Sacramento County, collected $745,947 in overtime.
The kicker...pension of 3% at 50 for each year served.
oh and they have a union bargaining for every benefit.
What overtime/pension/job guarantee/sicktime cashout/low educational requirements/"company" car do you get?
They are part of the government privelaged class. I have distant relatives retiring from the Feds at 100% full pay and no contributions.
I honestly, cannot hang out around government people any more. Part of it is this raping of the public treasury and part of it that they are the ones who spend their days making us miserable and enabling the creeping autocracy. As a former sort of neocon I really cannot stand to be around cops, now. They are egotistical tools of the State.
They have evolved into the new privileged class now, haven't they?
Sort of like being being in the "Party" in the old Soviet or Commy China.
The real privileged class. Making rules for us, that they need not follow. Feeding at the trough, in amounts that should embarrass. All tax monies, fees taken from small business for the "privilege" of conducting business, and raping of the common man on our roadways.
And keep this in mind. No matter who is elected into office, these buerocratic administrators remain in the " back office" , running the show and raping the system for all they can.
Between .gov and the FSA, we are fucked.
This certainly adds a whole new dimension to "fuck the police".
What idiot gives their cell phone password to a cop? I mean, really, you have to be pretty fucking stupid to do that, even in Merika...
"Sort of like being being in the "Party" in the old Soviet or Commy China."
further back...the The Praetorian Guard of Rome.
I went to a lecture by Soviet defector Yuri Maltsev. It was very interesting. He had friends in the old USSR and when he told them they could come here and earn more money and a better life they told him they preferred being in the privilaged class in Russia. Sort of the big fish in the small pond thing.
It is real and it is happening here. I am sure someone is still searching for Lois Lerner's hard drive like O.J. is still looking for his wife's murderer, right?
When economic reality reasserts itself this will become a huge issue. Right now it's all papered over with government borrowing.
For over twenty years the average worker's income has been declining in real terms while benefits have been eroding away. Meanwhile government workers have seen their salaries and benefits continuously march higher and higher. When I was a young man it was considered somewhat demeaning to take a government job rather than carving out a career in the private sector. And government jobs paid less than the readily available private jobs.
But now it's flip-flopped. Scoring a job with the goverment is practically the only road to a middle-class life left for non-professionals. But the big question remains, once private workers are beat down to where they average $30k a year with minimal benefits, where do you find the tax base to support the massive load of government drones making $80k or more with golden benefits and lush early retirement?
How do you ask the citizenry to live lives of near poverty while millions of government employees live like minor potentates?
It is a wonder they can get anyone to do extortion for this cheap. The mob pays a lot more.
This is a subset of the larger problem of the surveillance state. While NSA peers into everything your local cop confiscates a phone while pulling you over for some extra revenue.
At some point we as a society are going to have to decide whether or not we want this. For example, marijuana would never have been legalized in Colorado or Washington state, at least not for a long time. Put on a referendum it suprisingly passed. I think it was a general statement of "Well, maybe it is not so great for you but we want to legalize it anyway." When people do this they are saying that they actually own themselves and government should serve them. As a libertarian this gives me hope.
Once we realize that we are NOT here to be ruled and serve the purposes of another we will start taking away the power of government. It will work its way all the way down to this cop who will actually get punished just like you would for stealing a phone and it's private information. Until then, he is part of the privelaged government class.

CHIPS
This one time, a motorcycle CHP motorcycle cop yelled at me to slow down (was going 80). Thankfully he was a "nice guy,' I had my windows down, and blasting classic rock while wearing a button up for work. Otherwise I would've gotten a ticket. :-)
CHPs see a lot more shit go down compared to the local PDs (in most areas). They always tended to be a bit better than local. Don't know if that holds true anymore.
Dunno about CHP, but I do know about Albuquerque PD. You want to hear something shocking about APD? They put somebody in charge of SWAT who has a conscience and who understands what the problems are. He damned near lost his job because he expected the unit that he used to command to behave, and most did under his command. I'm not sure that his career will survive this. Don't get me wrong, he likes his guns and stuff, but he has more of an Andy Griffith attitude towards policing than, well, just about anybody else in APD. But he's going to try to put a leash on SWAT, and I'd bet dollars to dogshit that they try to disgrace him. He's been through the ringer once. Maybe that experience will help him.
Shit, had not heard about the new SWAT guy at APD but they certainly need some control up there. Shit, they think they are patrolling Sadr City. And is not just APD, seen some of my local NM jack asses at work. We had a pair of winners that arrested a local bum known drug user, and, because he was clenching his butt cheeks did an anal cavity search on him. Then took him to the local hospital for a colonoscopy. The local hospital director, great woman BTW, told them to take a hike, no one at he hospital would do such a thing. They ended up driving the guy up to SIlver City to get the colonoscopy done. Nada, he was clean and is now suing the department. Hope he gets a couple of million from the abusive cock suckers.
"I hope he gets a couple million from the abusive cocksuckers"
That sounds good in theory, as he no doubt deserves compensation for that kind of abusive thuggery. If they took a couple million from the cops who did it, directly out of their pay and retirement , I would agree. The problem is that he will get a couple million that will be taken from local taxpayers, not the offending officers. They will end up keeping their jobs without punishment, and get their nice retirement benefits in the end
SWAT in Albuquerque, wtf goes on there?!
Aaron Swartz did not commit suicide but, since he didn't drive much, it was hard to arrange him being killed in a one car accident like what happened to Malcolm Wallace, LBJ's hitman and the real shooter in Dealey Plaza.

American shakedown: Police won't charge you, but they'll grab your money
U.S. police are operating a co-ordinated scheme to seize as much of the public’s cash as they canOn its official website, the Canadian government informs its citizens that “there is no limit to the amount of money that you may legally take into or out of the United States.” Nonetheless, it adds, banking in the U.S. can be difficult for non-residents, so Canadians shouldn’t carry large amounts of cash.
That last bit is excellent advice, but for an entirely different reason than the one Ottawa cites.
There’s a shakedown going on in the U.S., and the perps are in uniform.
Across America, law enforcement officers — from federal agents to state troopers right down to sheriffs in one-street backwaters — are operating a vast, co-ordinated scheme to grab as much of the public’s cash as they can; “hand over fist,” to use the words of one police trainer.
The Washington Post this week reported that in the past 13 years, there have been 61,998 cash seizures on roadways and elsewhere without use of search warrants. The total haul: $2.5 billion.'

Keep your cash in a safe deposit box at a bank where you have an account. Remove cash, deposit, and get a cashiers check; all in one transaction. You get a SAR, but it works.
Last I checked, it isn't illegal. They just don't like it.
If there is a bank holiday and/or a bail in, odds are pretty good I ain't getting a hair cut.

That the Post knows of. I'll be there are many more than this that go unreported. Just like the 50,000 SWAT raids a year--how many are non-SWAT? How many SWAT raids go unreported when they fuck up?
As Snowden said, what he's revealed is only the tip of the iceberg. I'll bet it's five times worse than we all suspect.
Yes, one may expect the real number of highway robberies by your friendly cops exceed the reported number by at least 100%. But has any politician in the land of the free sought to address this problem?

There are no good cops. The good cops know this is happening and do nothing about it. That makes them in turn bad people.
They know their pig union lawyer will protect them. They just have to claim either (1) lack of training [usually about common decency and not being a scumbag fuck] or (2) they feared for their life or safety.
In the good old days in the wild wild west....Sheriff works for the richest man in the county to protect his business interests.

When you pay testosterone laden 20 something's shit wages to risk their lives and churn them in and out faster than WalMart greeters you can't expect "To Protect and to Serve" to be the reality.

I feel sorry for the decent Men and Women still there trying to do it right.
Risk their lives? LOL. They're not even in the top 10. They have "I'm coming home tonight" as a training priority, even if that means lighting up the unarmed people they're allegedly protecting.
No shit. And this already got a down vote. Forbes released a top 10 most dangerous jobs article not too long ago. Notably absent from that list were cops, firemen, and soldiers. It has been established long ago that cops have no duty to put themselves at risk nor are they obligated to help you in any way. Protect and serve is nothing but a joke now.

The suspect alleged to have shot three northern California sheriff's deputies last Friday, killing two, was an illegal alien who had been deported twice and had a criminal record according to federal officials. The suspected shooter told Sacramento County Sheriff's investigators that he was 34-year-old Marcelo Marquez of Salt Lake City but his fingerprints matched the biometric records of a Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte in a federal database. Monroy-Bracamonte was first removed from the country in 1997 after being convicted in Arizona for possession of narcotics for sale. Monroy-Bracamonte was arrested and repatriated to Mexico a second time in 2001.
The incident began in the parking lot of a Motel 6 in Sacramento where Deputy Danny Oliver, 47, approached a vehicle considered to be suspicious. Someone inside the car fired multiple rounds at Oliver, who was fatally struck in the chest. He was pronounced dead at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento.
After shooting Oliver, Marquez, accompanied by his female associate, carjacked a motorist, shooting him in the head when he resisted, authorities said. The pair then stole a third vehicle, a 2002 red Ford F-150 pickup truck, and are believed to have crossed into neighboring Placer County, shooting two sheriff's deputies there, Davis said. One of the deputies, 42-year-old Michael David Davis Jr., later died, the sheriff's office said.

The most dangerous occupation is being a civillian because most often than not you are not carrying a gun like a cop. Yeah so sure rare times a cop gets popped. Do you know how many civillians get popped, its a lot more.
I wonder who our lone down voter could be? Hmmmm....
The 58 y.o. cop down the street lives in a $680k house and will retire soon with a generous $1.4 million pension.
The 64 y.o. family doc who works 24/7 [almost] across the street lives in a relatively meager $428k house and self funded his pension with a less generous $280k bundle and he may be able to retire … some day.
It’s an odd world. Kids need to take notice.
Doctors kill more people than cops. Just sayin'.
The trend lines crossed long ago. Number of cops shot on duty has been trending down for decades. Number of civilians shot by cops trending up to where it is now far higher.
Cop motto now: Protect Our Golden Pensions and Serve Each Other
Ok. I could post articles about Alaskan fishermen drowning, but what would be the point. Cops sometimes get killed on the job. As do fishermen, loggers, and roofers. you are a known troll, so even though this is pointless, I'll respond to you anyway since it's relevant to this thread, which is rare for you ...
The war on drugs is the reason all of that happened. When you criminalize behaviors that most of society doesn't like, you drive that portion of society into the black market, which is where drugs wound up. It created a dangerous world where violent thugs like the guy in the article rise to the top, and when they are stopped by LE personnel, the wind up shooting. Same thing happened during alcohol prohibition. Making something illegal doesn't get rid of it, but merely drives it into the shadows. Sucks those guys got killed, but it all boils down to trying to fight a 'war on drugs'. If you think it is worth your life, or the lives of others to enforce, at gun point, which substances adults are allowed to put into their own bodies, you have to accept the risks of something like this happening, same way Alaskan fishermen accept the risk that the Bering sea may kill them. The difference is, we can chose not to pay the Alaskan fishermen by declining to purchase crab legs. We can't decline to pay cops to enforce laws we don't agree with, or those same cops will kick in your door, kidnap you, and throw you in a cage, and kill you of you resist them.
Carl, I think you mean "When you criminalize behaviors that most of society does like". Your examples of prohibition and the war on drugs are appropriate, and it drives an even larger percentage of the population into the back market. Once driven into the black market, LE by default becomes 'them'. That is where this scenario started into the ditch, and the moral hazard confirmed in 2008 simply accelerated it. Meanwhile, those who have resisted being driven into the black market have found easy access to big pharma's arguably far worse alternatives. Listen to some of the disclaimers for big pharma's offerings on tee vee some Saturday night. Makes the side-effects of most of the 'illegal' non-synthetics sound benign. I like to think there is a lesson there, as well.
If you live by the kill, you die by the kill.
More civilians got shot in Chicago this past weekend.

i agree with most of what you say but the average police salary is about $52,000 a year. http://www1.salary.com/Police-Officer-Salary.html
the base pay of a sargeant in the army is half that. http://www.goarmy.com/benefits/money/basic-pay-active-duty-soldiers.html
there are some unique perks but nothing like the police pensions.
perhaps that accounts for some of the war crimes.
yet the worst crimes are by the highly compensated, bush, obama, etc.
things that make you go hmmm?
THat is the base salary, but with overtime these guys regularly pull in over 100k in major cities.
Those pay charts for military are very misleading. It makes it look like they only get paid 25k a year, but it's far more than that. That same E5 in the military also get subsistence(food) allowance which is around 350 a month. He also gets another 1400 or so a month in housing allowance, depending on where he lives and if he is married. Military on ships also get sea pay and family separation pay. Plus they also get completely free health care for their entire families. Add all the different allowances up, and he is making over 50k a year, and if you also factor in how much it would cost a self employed person or small business owner to purchase equivalent health care plan for his family, and it's even higher. But, only their base pay is taxable, which means they are at or hear the poverty line, which is why so many of them are in WIC vouchers and food stamp programs, so add another 250 a month onto what they make. It's quite generous.
Had to step in, Greenskeeper Carl; I just gave you an up vote, as usual, and a down arrow also clicked down WTF? Tyler?
"and a down arrow also clicked down"
That's not a malfunction, Rob. Nor does it mean that your vote was anything but up.
All you saw was the fact that when you cast a vote on a comment, the other displayed votes (both up and down) for that comment are refreshed.
Starting pay for CHP fresh out of the academy is $67K plus overtime taking many to $100K a year. Not exactly shit wages for driving around in a car harassing commuters all day.
If they were "decent men and women" then they wouldn't be cops.
Cops do nothing more than protect the status quo and enforce government will at the end of a gun.
The sheriffs are the only legitimate constitutional law enforcement agency. Police departments are there to enforce city ordinance and policy. Police = policy enforcer. They are there to protect and serve the city of X, not the people that live in city of X.
It's not the institutions. The US has severe cultural deficiencies. We are fucked and it has nothing to do with structure.
I will agree with all but your first sentence. Whether you want to ascribe it to the Kontradiefff cycle, the Fourth Turning, or the alignment of the outer planets, over the centuries the cycles all align on the same time frames. The four most recent were the American Revolution, the American Civil War, the Great Depression, and the Great Depravity (2000-?). Institutions, as creations of man, are just as involved in these cycles as their creators; when it is government, more so.
This dude attacked their conscience tonight.
But only once. Doubtful efficacy.

When cops get shot its always bigger headlines when joe shmoe get capped. Bet you that same night a bunch more civillians were capped.
"When cops get shot its always bigger headlines when joe shmoe get capped."
Really? The news media (and ZH) focused exclusively on Michael Brown for weeks after he was shot in Ferguson.
Meanwhile the fatal shooting of the two white deputies in Sacramento last Friday by an illegal alien from Mexico was mostly ignored by the U.S. news media.
The story that will always get the BIGGEST headlines by the U.S. news media is when a black person gets shot and killed by a white person. Obama will then comment about the shooting and Eric Holder's Justice Department will send in scores of law enforcement officers to investigate the shooting.
Some brutal deaths never reach the headlines outside of their little town as in this case where two “gentle giants” beat this cancer researcher to death 1 block from the UNC hospital in Chapel Hill. Both were out on parole and had a long list of priors:
http://www.wncn.com/story/26102558/2-arrested-in-chapel-hill-robbery-homicide
Oh yeah, don’t forget the young Eve Carson who was shot in the head by the local “Gentle giants” of Chapel Hill. Barely made the headlines.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Eve_Carson
I used to live in Chapel Hill when the biggest news headline was someone’s bike was stolen. It’s more ‘diverse’ now, evidently.
Horrible story and those cops deserved better than to be shot by some asswipe that your president let in the country. Now tell us all what it has to do with the current thread.

Looks like we're pissing off someone that's pro-thug by the sea of "-1"s I'm seeing. Have at it boys, hit me with meaningless negative internet points!
On the other hand, if you think thugs that steal 19 year old girl's pics when they're getting X-rays after a car accident should be prosecuted, that civil asset forfeiture is wrong, and police should face prosecution after shooting people or blowing up babies "accidentally" because they're too stupid to check an address or believe drugged-out CIs, well, feel free to upvote.
No shit I just noticed that..there has to be a cop on the board or something....
As for cops being pervs...haha doesn't surprise me..ask any stripper and she'll tell ya...the cops are the worst ones...
They typically arrest non violent drug offenders and feed them into the corporate prison machine. And I hate the 'cops risk their lives for us' blah blah blah too. Most of them are injured or hurt because of our stupid war on drugs. If you go kicking in people's doors in the middle of the night without identifying yourselves as police, serving a 'no knock warrant' for a non violent offender such as one 'suspected' of having a plant the govt doesn't like, don't expect me to feel sorry for you when one of them shoots you. Most of the risk involved in policing exists solely because of the war on drugs.
More cops are injured in traffic accidents than during arrests.
Cop death statistics are padded by officer Doofus rolling his cruiser while speeding to the donut shop or dying behind the wheel after stuffing his face etc.
He's prolly refering to Mr. Detective, who is about to be shot.

I'd rather be the object of a perv than the (still) object that justified a long paid vacation for some thugcop. Still, stories like this make me happy to have picked steel-core rounds.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Our Constitutional Lawyer prez did promise a better Gestapo
Barack Obama's Civilian Army |I guess you guys don't watch daily YouTube videos of these thugs with badges
Many of us live in cities filled with ghetto thugs who be playing the knockout game.
Imagine the lights out and total lawlessness for an extended period of time. Imagine a posse of white men roaming around in that environment. Call the cops quick and put the lights back on, these fckrs are nuts.
Roid Rangers.
What's with all the shaved heads?
First of all, we should be grateful that we still have a sizable number of heterosexual cops who have normal attaction to females. Second, I'd like to know where's the harm? What is the injury? Are you trying to tell me that it's more of a problem to have nude pictures seen by strangers than it is to be so drunk off her ass that she got locked up? I guess being in the drunk tank is just a rite of passage but taking nude pics of oneself is not?
This is nothing more than an effort to extract taxpayer funds out of govt agencies by misusing tort law.
Wow I am guessing that you forgot to add the /sarc after your comment. Otherwise someone could mistake you for a really dumb fuck.
Or a pig with a badge and a 77 IQ, which I am guessing is 2 standard devs above their mean. I mean, give him credit. He can type somewhat of a sentence. No grunting in his post either. Must be at least a sargeant.
I think you forgot to credit rapists for also being dedicated heterosexuals.
Yeah, this makes me proud to be a Californian. Fucking CHP PIGS! First there was the murdering CHP officer, Craig Peyer, in San Diego, my hometown. Now this. But the CA pigs are the reason that Pearl Jams Eddie Vedder won't play San Diego county. The fucking San Diego County Sherrifs Dept. regularly hassled Eddie while he was growing up in North County. I grew up in the same town, Encinitas, Leucadia area. And, yes, Eddie, the pigs down there are as bad as ever. I have to move from kewl No. CA back to S.D. county myself, in January. God, how I hate So. Cal!

It's not proper to pop a copper's topper!" -- Hemlock Holmes
I refuse to visit the US any more, they can Kiss my money goodbye, my tourist dollars that I may have been willing to spend and the ones they want to steel.
The US has stolen all of the money from small foreign countries, so now they resort to theft from tourists and their own civilians.
I am 2/3rds through reading the book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man"
Check it out, Pure theft from any Country they have ever visited. the imperialism will collapse sooner than they think.
Read this book, see the real US with the trail of theft, corruption and murder.
It's too bad all The Americans get painted with the same brush as the Gov criminals do.
Never mind the fall of Saigon, the fall of the US is coming!
Like the supposed "good cop" that remains silent and does nothing while his marauder colleages terrorize the population, Jane and Joe American are ever damn bit as guillty by their cowardice, apathy, and willful ignorance. 90% of this nation is rotten to the core morally, don't kid yourself.
I actually cheer on a collapse, so that more than a few sheeple will go to the slaughter, while hoping that the remainder, by the sheer shock of the event, finally wake up and straighten their depraved asses out.
This nation is so morally rotten that it will take an act of God to right itself.
Get the cops names and addresses andpost them on the internet so everybody knows where they live. Goes around comes around. No peace for these enabled cretins and their supervisors. Lawlessness starts at the top.
It's not just the cops; it's all government employees at every level.
Most govt employees are part of a vast bureaucracy that is continually checking itself to make sure its executing some nonsensical internal "solution" designed to fix some past internal "problem" with whatever process is being executed. It's all about bullshit status update entry in various systems, updating budget numbers and schedules, processing change requests to justify some action or need, while getting excuses from EVERYONE why people can't do stuff.
It's decades of failure, addressed by "fixes" demanded from some embarrassed (but clueless, tyrannical, and fascist) executive, implemented by terrified mediocre clerks that only want security, protection, benefits, and no threat of anyone calling them out on anything. So these clerks do what they are told, regardless if it works or not, and they make it look like it's working (which is all the exec wants anyway).
It's years of dog-and-pony shows to make two-bit fascist mid-level managers look good so they get more budget, and the result in an alternate reality based on lies, deceit, scheming, and maneuvering. These people live in fantasyland frozen in the 1980s, but it accommodates every whimsical Politically-correct trend (because PC causes help people get out of work and conduct "working groups" and "lunch and learns". Fucking more stupid waste.)
The knowledge these people have of technical systems engineering methods or the entities they regulate is frozen in the 90s and will likely never change.
What it boils down to is they don't want stuff to work. If it does, they'll be expected to keep it working. If it doesn't ever work, it'll be outsourced to a vendor who the gov workers will blame for everything.
All of these people should be fired without benefits of any kind. Any damage caused by systems breaking will be far less than the toxic effect these people have on our culture and economy. It'll stop the proliferation of their entitled and fascist attitudes and behaviors that are OUT OF CONTROL in government organizations, it'll cut costs, and finally, it'll stop the oppression imposed by rogue govt entities that actually cut through all this bullshit and bureaucracy and successfully implement their control over the citizenry.
There is no point in keeping all these parasites and predators on the payroll for fear of ensuing pandamonium. If firing all these people throws some sector of the poplulation or economy into chaos, it'll be pretty damn obvious and easy to figure out a fix. I'll bet everyone would be amazed how insignificant the repercussions would be following cuts of 80% of government employees.Exactly why I pray for a system wide breakdown. You can't fix this shit. It's too messed up. I can't, for the life of me, imagine one problem that would not be solved in ten minutes by thinking people if every level of .gov was wiped out. And the second Ammendment provides for your personal protection. Fuck a cop. Fuck a buerocrat. Fuck an administrator.
And schools....ha.. The whole system needs to be redone. Education can easily be web based, with a series of privately run "testing centers" . You pass the test, you get the credits. Most of us already know we can "learn" anything we need by searching the web. Schools are also a money sucking drain.
By the way, what is a " non-essential " employee?
By the way, what is a " non-essential " employee?
The thinking guy who can solve any problem in 10 minutes.
I hate those guys that actually work......they always make us look bad.
non-essential = one that tells the truth
I was a park ranger for one summer. The boss calls us all in for a meeting to 'Determine how to spend the rest of our budget because if we don't we won't get it next year'
This really blew me away, your tax dollars at work.
I worked for the city for a year.
Saw so much waste and apathy it blew my mind
A year was all I could take
I did not want to grow to be fat and lazy
Worked in the telecom office at a State University.
Every year, at the end of the fiscal year, we went into a spending frenzy to use up all of our budget.
REason? If we didn't spend it all, they would reduce our budget, or so we were told.
It was the same in the academic department I worked in before that.
Spend it all or they'll reduce our budgets?
Hence, we would buy shit to replace shit that wasn't worn out, buying shit we didn't need, building or re-building infrastructure that wasn't needed, surplussing things that weren't worn out etc,.
It's a racket.
And even there, they hired H1Bs for office work, and frequent used illegal construction workers to build both state and federally funded construction projects on campus.
Fuck.
That.
Shit.
Best headline of the day so far:
"Ebola nurse leaves ‘prison’ but Mainers don’t want her back" (NY Post)
They're no better than the Fed Reserve breaking the law.
The SEC rule states againt manipulate but the Fed Reserve continues to do so with no impunity.
Zerohedge is so outside the envelope when it comes to shit like this......
Go to your local fishwrap's online site and read the article comments about these kinds of incidents....
90% of it is indignation at the victim 'why is she havin' nekkid pictures of her self on her phone thingy' 'hey, these guys put their lives on the line everyday fighting terrorists and criminals...what do you want, anarchy?'
It's really sad
The people you mention BEG for govt to manage people based on sentiment. That's the modern 'Merican governing methodology--manipulate sentiments and principles be damned.
If nekkid stuff makes one feel uneasy, then those engaged in nekkidness are 'wrong' and they've got what's coming to them. It's so primal and dysfunctional.
It might have been a great method to stop cave dwellers from clubbing one another and got them to organize into tribes, but that's about the extent to which it'll elevate a civilization.
But it's a method that's here to stay. There is no way TPTB will change it. Stirring these sentiments is their key to power and influence. It makes great soundbites and TV shows.
Just like QE, though, it'll function until it doesn't. Stirred sentiments are unpredictable and will fail catastrophically at some point.
The problem is the same as our school system run by the democrat/communists.
The continual dumbing down of standards for schools and government jobs so you wind up with stupid childish fuckwads like these guys who probably had a difficult time passing the dumbed down 'stupid' test.
Protect and Serve?
Give them something to look at while they caress their ...ah... guns.
This post is worthless without pics
California, that's where the Free Shit Army Obola Faggotrons are headquartered. Obola's favorite weaponized spy portals like Google and Apple are based there.
Stupid bitches should know that not only are the goon squads 'batin to your pics but so is the entire workforce of the 27 Obola spy agencies.

my advice:
keep only one pic on your phone with a really dirty title.
this pic should be full of virus and trojans and worms and all you can gather.
enjoy.

Speaking of rewarding looters and thieves,.........Meet the CA governor candidate Neel Kashkari, TARP czar (but don't tell STARR AIG lawyer David Boies) who is apparently unaware Kashkari is a central witness.Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability, Assistant Secretary for International Economics & Development & Senior Advisor to Secretary Paulson, U.S. Treasury (2006-2009)
Neel Kashkari, often referred to as the $700 billion man, was a key adviser during the recent financial crisis. His performance at the helm of the Treasury’s financial rescue operations won praise from all sides. He designed NASA satellites before moving to Wall Street and then government, going onto engineer the US $700 billion bailout of the nation’s banking system.
A versatile voice on economic issues of both domestic and global importance” http://www.speakersbulgaria.com/2011/07/20/neel-kashkari-speaker/
Some game.
Do that to officers phones and it's equally legal but they'll arrest you for terrorism and felony wiretapping.
Those officers should rot in prison on such charges because that's what they would use as a charge & badges do not grant extra rights.
sounds like the cops are fascist criiminals everywhere in the u.s. makes me wonder if the one killed in cali recently were guilty. cops are becoming fascist gangs
