If I was a public servant I’d expect that every place I went with a government car and everything I did in it was recorded, because for police the alternative is fucking nuts. I’d also expect incredibly basic fact checking investigations like that when someone was suspected of fraud.

By the way, the entire department wasn’t tracked. Per the article only the chief was, yet everyone quit. If you can’t see crooked when it’s staring you in the face then I can’t help you.

Crying about workers’ rights for cops is ass-backwards when they protect capital over workers, regardless.

If your boss put an illicit tracker on your car, then put up cameras to surveil when you get to the office, how would you respond?

I'd expect some kind of accountability if I were fudging my time sheets.

My work issued phone has GPS tracking on it. My company issued laptop has GPS tracking on it. My work issued vehicle has GPS tracking on it. I have a camera that faces in and out of the vehicle as well. That's just how most companies are these days.

Just about everywhere I worked had cameras as standard, and if my employer owned the vehicle I drove, I’d expect the car to be tracked.

I mean I wouldn't be committing fraud and stealing taxpayer dollars to begin with so...
