This is funny (I think)

This has allways amused me. If you ever watch the tv show "COPS" they show the police locker room sometime when talking to someone. I've noticed that the cops have locks on their lockers. Are they afraid the other cops will steal stuff out of their lockers or what? :D :D

Why wouldn't there be cop thieves? There are cop drug addicts and dealers, why not thieves? Although I think things are more often stolen by the cleaning and maintenance people than cops.
 
I guess you can't be too careful - even if you go to work in a building full of cops! I can't blame them; anything that I want or need, or that cost me money (in other words, any of my possessions) are either locked up or else I don't turn my back on them. BTW, I haven't been ripped off since jr. high school.

Go figure.

The real reason is many PD's are next to the courthouse and defense lawyers have been known to pass through the locker rooms enroute to the court.

:D
 
I once had a police officer on the stand at a supression hearing for a pro bono case I was handling. He claimed he stopped my client because he was in a "high crime area" and was acting suspiciously. As a result of this being a high crime area, he claimed that there were regular patrols.

I asked him if there were any areas of the city that were so crime free that they didn't need patrols. He said that the court house probably wouldn't need regular patrols if it weren't for the defense attorneys. :) He got everyone in the court to laugh, including me and the judge. Needless to say, the evidence wasn't suppressed.
 
Are the locks there to prevent theft or to allow privacy (no this isn't a forth ammend ment question...No reasonable expectation of privacy in an employer provided space)

I thiks that the locks povided because that is what's expected in a locker room.

///I'm the Army its called reallocation of government property - not stealing.
 
Private Pyle, why is your footlocker unlocked?

Sir, I don't know, sir!

Private Pyle, if there is one thing in this world that I hate, it is an unlocked footlocker! You know that, don't you?

Sir, yes, sir!

If it wasn't for {badword} like you, there wouldn't be any thievery in this world, would there?

On a more serious note--I've had stuff stolen out of a card-reader access area where everyone who had access also had a security clearance. Kinda makes you think... :(
 
Locks keep the honest ones honest. Same reason why, when I am not in my dorm room, the door gets shut. What they can't see, they won't steal.
 
"If 7-11 is open 24 hours a day 365 days a year why do they have locks on the front door?"

Because when the hurricaine knocks out the power for 3 days the registers won't work and they lock the doors and go home. Luckily the little market in the next block opened and sold stuff in the dark using a battery-powered calculator. It's owned by a nice Iranian family and they showed up early the first morning to board up the broken windows - I spotted them quickly and a line of folks with cash in hand quickly cleared most of the shelves. The ice and beer went first. :)

Shortly after Pearl Harbor, the Gov't decreed that all Las Vegas businesses had to shut down during the hours of darkness. All lights off, all doors closed and locked. Some of the casinos didn't even have doors, much less locks. :D
