Policing for profit: The pirate-infested town of Brookside

Police Pirates

Policing for profit turns cops into pirates. The banking-on-crime-police have turned the Alabama town of Brookside into a pirate-infested nightmare.

Read John Archibald’s jaw-dropping stories about this town that sucks drivers into a legal ‘black hole’ and Ashley Remkus’ investigation of Baldwin County’s ankle monitoring system that straps sometimes innocent people with debt. These stories are part of Al.com’s ‘Banking On Crime’ series.

    I'm not surprised to see that this town is a suburb of Birmingham. That area is a mess, and generally the worst police conduct I've seen is in close suburbs of big cities.
    They are big enough to build a hammer and small enough to get away with it...
