Today's theme: Corruption.

Police in D.C. lie to convict a man of selling heroin. This probably happens every day in every city.

Closer to home, a local politician gets kickbacks from red light cameras:

Redflex Traffic Systems of Phoenix, Ariz., planned to direct 3.2 percent of the fines it collects to Bryan Wagner, a former New Orleans City Council member and lobbyist who helped Redflex get the contract in Jefferson Parish.

Maybe I should pay my next camera fine with a zero dollar bill. It's working in India:

A corrupt official in a district in Tamil Nadu was so frightened on seeing the zero rupee note that he returned all the bribe money he had collected for establishing a new electricity connection back to the no longer compliant citizen.
