I have wondered about this. I know we can't really base our judgement on other peoples behaviour, morals and motivation on our own failings and bias
etc but the temptation for anyone must surely be there?
I mean, for example, in order to work deep, say in a high value drugs operation, you must have to get dirty to avert any suspicion. Surely you must be
tip toeing into the seedier parts of mankind.
You do hear snippets of undercover guys who say that just about got away without doing anything too dodgy. But I can't believe that to be always the
case. There must be situations where either the operative was crap and "disappeared" or they "Done the deed"....whatever that is, a bank job, drug
trafficking or an execution? The potential for turning must be there.
Thing is they may not even think there is anything wrong in it...ends justify the means. It reminds me of a few years ago some detectives spent days
looking through a hole in a ceiling to catch a bloke who was importuning and glory holing.
When I heard of the case I could not believe they wasted so much time on some lonely bloke getting his jollies. As perverse as I may think his
activity was I found the coppers behaviour even worse. Glory holers don't cause me any grief. If I go to a #ter and there is a hole in the wall I
block it.....that is a positive signal "Not for sale." But to think that whether or not you are guilty some pervert is in the ceiling looking at
your dick..makes me sick. If I remember, comments were made about the coppers activities in court. Can't remember the outcome. It really reminds of
that inept Inspector in the TV series "Operation Good Guys".
So as I see it many "naughty" activities have links to other such activities. Drug running and Pornography come to mind. There is also talk of gun
running, terrorism and drugs.
I have heard speculation that government bodies and black ops fund activities with money disguised as dodgy money, to hide the funding. If that is the
case, there is a blurring and a possibility of abuse.
We do not know what our administrations and agencies do "In our name" and some strange bedfellows have come about every now and then. Wasn't there
something about the CIA helping the Taliban against the Soviets? Look at things now!!
Its like arms sales. An associate of mine was telling me that in the Falklands the Argentinians had the more up to date version of a weapon system
that the Brits had sold them!!! I think it was an Army portable missile system. They don't know who the enemy of tomorrow is, so they will deal with
anyone!!!
I do wonder where the hell the UK is going now, with the announcement of two huge (by British standards) aircraft carriers. I really had hoped they
had learned to keep their noses out of other peoples business...but no.
Yeah, I am sure there is abuse. What controls and sanctions can you have on these people? A hope that their psychological profile was right?
Strewth, I am one of the most boringly square people you could meet. I have never done anyone any harm (well knowingly) and I treat people pretty
well..if the shop gives me too much change...I give it back. Fate is testing me!!! You should see the face of the cashiers
But if the opportunity to have my own tropical island with all the beautiful girls my tongue could handle came my way....mmm...sign me up
