I have a tremendous amount of respect for law enforcement officers at the local, state and federal levels. They put their lives on the line every day, facing the worst aspects of human nature in an effort to "
Serve and Protect" civilians like me.
As a former reporter, I’ve made a lot of friends in law enforcement over the years and have a lot of admiration for that profession in general. Having said that, should police be allowed to break the law in an effort to uphold the law they've sworn to protect?
A recent story in the
Washington Post by reporter Tom Jackman gives rise to the question. If you click on the link below you’ll read how officers in Fairfax County Virginia lost $300,000 to bring down an online gambling ring that had a few “associates” based in Fairfax.
