- hawkice 10y agoIn general, being in a position to at least monitor (and maybe even guide) the investigation into your crimes will always be advantageous. This goes even further, in a somewhat bizarre direction. Suffice it to say "fraternal order of police" may be a more accurate descriptor than "protect and serve" in these cases (and, I imagine, much more generally).

- CaptSpify 10y agoThis is severely anecdotal: I know a few people who basically did this. They admitted one of their prime motivations for becoming a cop was being able to do things like speed, control others, take authority in situations where they wouldn't normally need it, etc.
- _audakel 10y agoyou have to know the system before you can beat it. Similar idea-> I think the only reason Ed. Snowden was able to get away / stay out of US prison was he had worked so long with CIA/NSA etc that he was very familiar with the tactics they would use to go after him, and he was able to take appropriate action to evade them.
