- Gibbon1 11y agoI'm suddenly reminded of two stories. One was my Civics teacher who grew up in a dry country. Every four years they got a new sheriff. Because hey after you've earned a quarter of million in bribes (circa 1965) why not retire. And another who mentioned when she was a teenager the feds busting two local sheriffs deputies for trafficking cocaine. You really want a corrupt sheriff or drug dealing cops to have access to all the stuff the NSA does? Seriously? Scares the crap out of me.
