Politicians - Mayor Gary Becker
Obviously, the city employees honored the law more than loyalty...
Tom Kertscher reports in the Wiscinsin Journal Sentinel:
"Taken into custody at Brookfield Square mall Tuesday evening, Becker became one of the more than 475 people arrested by the state's 10-year-old Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
By now, it is relatively widely known that investigators from the Division of Criminal Investigation pose as youths on the Internet, looking for adults who want to have sex with minors.
But according to a source familiar with the case, a criminal investigation of Becker was begun before Christmas after he brought a personal computer to City Hall and asked city workers to fix a problem with it.
Whatever the workers found was turned over to Racine police, who in turn passed it on to the state task force."
