Dave,

For IP if you wish.



From boingboing.net:  "A CBS undercover reporting team went into 38 police
stations in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in Florida, asking for a set of
forms they could use to complain about inappropriate police behavior. In all
but three of the stations, the police refused to give them forms. Some of
the cops threatened them (on hidden camera, no less) -- one of them even
touched his gun."



As a law student (and an American), this bothers me a great deak.  Follow
the link below to watch the full video of this "undercover investigation"
carried out by a watchdog organization.
