minus-squareStinkyFingerItchyBum@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 days agoI’ll use the US as its a much clearer example. For profit prisons with kickback schemes from judges.. Illegal arrests and fines to generate dollars for podunk towns, Abusing RICO statutes for civil forfeiture to straight up rob people extra judicially. It’s straight up racketeering.. Almost everything the LAPD, NYPD, Baltimore PD Ever did. They are notorious.

minus-squareCanadaPluslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 hour agoYeah, but this entire thread is about a cop being involved with literal organised crime, not figurative or metaphorical organised crime. In another context, maybe we’d be talking about moral and not legal, but what you go to jail for is the distinction here.
