thats not crap, that is legal bribery. You put money in the pockets of the cops. Ever tried to say no I don't need to pay so many of you so much over-time? see what happens.... amazing.

Quote:

How many cops did the city make him put on the payroll? They managed to chase Law and Order away a few years ago by squeezing them with the " you're gonna need 6 cops to shoot there" crap.

Behind lens, a 'Dangerous' job for Jersey City official

Most days, Greg Corrado is Jersey City's buttoned-down assistant business administrator.
But today Corrado was tieless and in short pants, engaging in his second professional passion: independent filmmaking.

The New York University Film School graduate was at the Jersey City Medical Center shooting a scene for "A Dangerous Place," a film he wrote and is directing. It stars Kristen Dalton, who portrayed "Gwen," Jack Nicholson's main squeeze, in "The Departed."

Due out next year, Corrado described the movie as "Enron meets anthrax" at a New Jersey pharmaceutical company.

Dalton plays a vice president at the company who takes on the evildoers, but not without handicaps. Her husband had died a few months earlier in 9/11. She and her son aren't speaking -- and as if that weren't enough, she's developed tuberculosis.

All of which made Dalton more willing to tackle the role.

"It was like I couldn't put it down," Dalton, a temporary resident of Paulus Hook, said about reading the script. "This woman is just up against so much."

By Hollywood standards, Corrado, who plans to return to his day job next week, is making the movie on a shoe-string budget -- less than $300,000.

Now for the real trick: Holding the line on property taxes.
