Crime Report Manipulation Is Common Among New York Police, Study Finds

Fourth Amendment, pigs!! Ever heard of it? And: Fuck. The. Police!

When I was totally strung, I prided myself on my ability to hide shit. I could find/create places within places with subtle misdirection built in. It was nothing to put thirty hours into a cubby in the car, and the house was an endless project. I was happy to take apart everything from the stereo and the TeeVee to the bathroom fixtures to make just a little pocket that can't be found.
