True story, personal experience.....<br /><br />1998, a woman I had just moved in with told me she was getting visits at her place of employment by a VPD officer who had been one of those who responded to a home invasion at her previous residence wherein the perps tied up her 10 year old son (she was at work at the time) and slapped him around a bit, wanting to know "where all the money and jewelery was". He of course was privy to all her information, including her place of employment. He started showing up there, ostensibly to follow up on the investigation (he's a "uniform", not assigned any investigatorial responsibilities) and asking questions like "had she been lonely since her divorce". Yep, real scumbag, and a married scumbag at that. He did not listen to her telling him she was not interested. I instructed her to ask him for his card if he showed up again.<br /><br />And of course he did. And thinking that her asking for his card was a sign that he was making progress on his "investigation", he gave it to her. She gave it to me when she got home that night.<br /><br />Next day I go to a pay phone and call up VPD. <br /><br />Me:"Can you please tell me who the supervisor of Constable Scumbag would be please?"<br />Her: "That would be Staff Sergeant So and So."<br />Me: "Great, how would I go about having a chat with him?"<br />Her:"Actually I think he's in the building, let me see if I can get him for you".<br />Me: "That would be great, thanks."<br />Pause, on hold.....<br />Him: "This is Staff Sergeant So and So, May I help you?"<br /><br />I detail the situation for him. His response, <br /><br />Him:"So, you're telling me that she does not want us to follow up on the crime?"<br />Me: "Are you fucking kidding me? Since when do beat cops follow up on home invasion robberies months later? Since when would "Is she lonely since her divorce" a relevant question?? She's not lonely, she lives with me, and this guy keeps coming back to her place of employment even though she asks him not to."<br />Him:"How do you know it's Constable Scumbag?"<br />Me: "Because I've got his fucking business card in my hand".<br />Him: "Oh....Well, if you want to file a complaint...."<br />Me: "I'm not gonna waste my time with that bullshit. There are two ways this is gonna go, your choice. Either you are gonna have a word with your "member" and he's never going to show his face around there again, or I'm going to use my skill set to find out where he lives. You should be waking up to the fact by now that I'm not a fucking civilian."<br />Him: "Oh really. What then?"<br />Me: "What then is I knock on his door while he's on shift and when his wife answers I fill her in on her husbands on-duty activities to line up extra-marital trim, and I tell her how you tried to cover for him."<br /><br />Silence on the other end of the line.....note that he does not ask how I know Constable Scumbag is married....<br /><br />Him: "Well, I guess I could have a word with him...."<br />Me: "That would be great, thanks. Have a good one...."<br /><br />And nothing more was ever heard. <br /><br />In retrospect, I should have knocked on his door anyway......trailrunner78https://www.blogger.com/profile/06694102447472594355noreply@blogger.com
