They don't really "take" the job... they "buy" the job. And every so often they have actions to see who is stationed in the prime locations. The racket comes down from the top.LTO wrote:Isn't low pay or laziness. Men that become cops know about the pay before they take the job. They take the job because they are corrupt and being a cop puts them in a position where they can make money from being corrupt. And they don't do their jobs as police, not because of laziness but because their job is not to 'protect and serve' let alone enforce the law. Their job is to enrich themselves using the law as a vague pretence. The problem is corruption from top to bottom and a completely different understanding of what it is to be a cop.Sailorman wrote:It all comes down to poorly paid, poorly led, lazy police.
Agreed. Well, that and seeing this sort of activity as the job of the police.Sailorman wrote:At some point if they want to keep the money rolling in, they will have to form tourist police squads, secure the beach area, kick the Cambo pipe-heads out and/or jail them, and do intelligence work on the gangs and break them up.

Spot on Dragon. Just like to add, over here the big boss cops usually boozing out with their mates and secret mistresses or at home most of the day. Most of the time, they only go to the station to collect their cuts.OrangeDragon wrote: They don't really "take" the job... they "buy" the job.
