Sometimes the News Stories are Closer Than You Think

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has recently reported that an officer from Monongahela, Washington County, is charged with numerous drug crimes including "tipping off drug dealers" on police search warrants. It's interesting to note that in one local town, officers have been tipping off the bad guys for a very long time. One example that comes to mind was a marijuana grow operation where the chief dictated exactly when the search warrant was to be executed. When officers knocked at the door, the residents of the house were all smiles. Of course, nothing was found.
