I think that the police generally are involved in a lot of illegal activities, including stealing bitcoins etc.
Look at them gunning down innocent unarmed people right and left, then pulling over cars because they are in a bad mood, or today smashing up peoples phones because they record them.

They do what they want, they seem to think they are above the law.  (I'm sure most are good people, but enough aren't that the good name has been sullied)
