Nobody likes a snitch
The following text appeared as a display ad in the June 9, 2004 edition of The Brookville Democrat:

Franklin County Prosecutor's Office
DRUG TIP HOTLINE
765-647-0755

Help us fight the war on drugs by providing your anonymous information on illegal drug activity in Franklin County. All calls recorded on an answering machine, untraced, and forwarded to law enforcement for investigation.

Melvin F. Wilhelm
Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney

********************

In the first place, nobody likes a goddam snitch.

Melvin must be on drugs himself if he thinks that this is the best way to use taxpayer money. Franklin County is mostly pretty peaceable, but it ain't Mayberry. There is SOME looting and raping and pillaging to keep cops and prosecutors legitimately employed. Even just cracking down on bad checks would be a more useful public service than enticing spiteful neighbors to rat someone out for smoking a joint.

Then again, I thought Mr. Wilhelm must have been smoking crack last election cycle when he sent his minions out to threaten plain citizens and even newspaper staff with jail for taking out a simple newspaper ad criticizing his campaign, on nominal grounds of not filling out paperwork to register as a PAC before taking out a $20 ad.

Indeed, I thought about calling the tip line to suggest that law enforcement might check out the prosecutor's office to see what exactly Melvin is on. Mind you, I have no actual evidence of drug use. (Any reader who considers these nutty behaviors legitimate cause for investigation must, I suppose, follow their own conscience.)

However, if we're going to have law enforcement start screwing with people on the basis of anonymous snitches, seems fair to start with the guy who started it.
