Deputy: They cook the stats, from minor crimes, to big crimes.
Interviewer: What do you mean, cook stats? They change the description of crime?
Deputy: They find a way to justify it, to downgrade it.
Interviewer: So in your experience, the sheriff’s office looks for ways to downgrade the crimes, to change the statistics so that there’s credibility, supposed credibility, in proclaiming that particular crimes are down. Kidnappings, car thefts…
Deputy: Yes.
Interviewer:…aggravated assault, aggravated robberies, serious crimes.
Deputy: Yes.
Interviewer: They’re downgraded to less serious crimes so that, our borders look safer?
