Who's a rat?
May. 22nd, 2007 11:07 amThis was interesting by way of Freakonomics Blog. Apparently there's a website that identifies who is receiving modified pleas to work with law enforcement to trap bigger fish. The Justice Department is concerned. But then again, the Justice Department hasn't been a good role model these days, anyway.
“The reality is this,” said a spokesman for the site, who identified himself as Anthony Capone. “Everybody has a choice in life about what they want to do for a living. Nobody likes a tattletale.”
Well, we don't necessarily like criminals, either.
Funny thing, apparently this information is obtained from court documents on the internet, and this site is just making it easier for people to find. So, it's not like the information was super sekrit, anyway.
However, it is funny to see who is running the site. As well as the attorney of the fellow running the site. Both of whom are incarcerated or soon to be as such.
