You know the classic movie scene where the cop runs out, flashes his badge, and tells a driver that he has to appropriate the automobile to pursue a subject? Apparently, using World Series tickets taken from scalpers:
Eight city police officers were wrong to use World Series tickets seized from scalpers, but they did nothing illegal, Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce said Monday in revealing there will be no charges.
She acknowledged public outrage but said she could not find any way to construe their actions as a violation of Missouri statutes given the available evidence.
You see, it served the public good having more cops at the World Series.
Meanwhile, respect for law and order just took another drubbing.
