post a link that does not do this.

They'll hound you for donations on the phone, and if their attempts aren't successful you can expect a string of (bullshit) traffic tickets before too long.

This was a decade ago, so things may have changed since then.

do not call list. After about a couple years of that, the phone calls stopped. No traffic tickets etc. A couple of encounters that were very professional and courteous.

At least where I live (near Minneapolis), these calls are made by professional fundraisers that keep about 85% of what is collected.

As I was reading your post I got a phone call asking for a donation to the police. I get about two a month. My father once worked as a paid fund raiser. It was a scam. It is always a scam. Two percent of your money will go to the actual cause. Never ever give money to any telephone solicitor.

After a few minutes of banter, my cousin offers to buy a ticket to the policemens' Ball.

Trooper: "Troopers don't have balls."

With that by cousin breaks out in uproarious laughter --

"Troopers don't have balls? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Trooper: (Kinda pissed) "Get the hell out of here."

Why has he not been fired? He broke the law as a police officer. He should be charged with Theft by Extortion. PA Code §3923. Specifically A4. The property was $30 cash.

§ 3923. Theft by extortion.

(a) Offense defined.--A person is guilty of theft if he intentionally obtains or withholds property of another by threatening to:

(1) commit another criminal offense;

(2) accuse anyone of a criminal offense;

(3) expose any secret tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt or ridicule;

(4) take or withhold action as an official, or cause an official to take or withhold action;

(5) bring about or continue a strike, boycott or other collective unofficial action, if the property is not demanded or received for the benefit of the group in whose interest the actor purports to act;

(6) testify or provide information or withhold testimony or information with respect to the legal claim or defense of another; or

(7) inflict any other harm which would not benefit the actor.

(b) Defenses.--It is a defense to prosecution based on paragraphs (a)(2), (a)(3) or (a)(4) of this section that the property obtained by threat of accusation, exposure, lawsuit or other invocation of official action was honestly claimed as restitution or indemnification for harm done in the circumstances to which such accusation, exposure, lawsuit or other official action relates, or as compensation for property or lawful services. (June 24, 1976, P.L.425, No.102, eff. imd.)

Cross References. Section 3923 is referred to in sections 3001, 5708, 6105 of this title; section 3304 of Title 5 (Athletics and Sports); sections 5552, 9802 of Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure); section 7122 of Title 61 (Prisons and Parole).

He was a police commissioner himself.

Which side of the blue line do you think he sat?

they are going to check whether extortion is legal in Philadelphia.
