Anchorage Police Officer Found To Be An Illegal Immigrant

[DrPhil]

LOL. Since we're doing the illegal vs. corrupt lesson:

The corruption could be on the part of the police department which is why there is an investigation.

The illegal is on the part of the illegal immigrant who stole someone else's identity. Both against the law. Thank goodness, being a good employee isn't enough to buffer the effects of that.

The wonderful thing about laws and procedures is that they don't wait for everyone to find something shocking, scary, or anything like that. Life would be chaotic. I know that's not what you're suggesting but it is quite possible to see why something is considered serious in a larger sense even if you don't personally find it to be a big deal.

PIKA called him a corrupt cop, that's what I was referring to.
And yes, it was illegal, it just wasn't corrupt.

People get arrested all the time, whoopie, but this isn't something worth getting worked up over for me. Obviously YMMV, but your last paragraph is a straw man.

Corrupt cop is someone who uses being a police officer for some illegal gain. In that sense, I agree with you because this person was corrupt before becoming an officer and was actually a good officer. Funny how that works.

I don't know what YMMV means but I know my last paragraph is not what you were implying. You always catch me mid-edit.
