A Mediawatchblogger on the street reports that a local law enforcement agency (probably the Los Angeles Police Department) is likely consigning police-seized pirated DVD's to auction houses
for resale.
What's the deal? Let Mediawatchblog tell you... according to our gumshoe blogger, the covers of the DVDs looked damn good. If some poor unsuspecting soul buys them, take them to a swapmeet (which is the likely resource for many enterprising auction attendees trying to make a living), re-sell them, voila! The movie companies have lost another sale to a pirated DVD and the police
gain a customer via fines, and the profits from--YES! You guessed it!--consigning the seized property, AGAIN! Pity to the poor unsuspecting auction guy who falls into what amounts to police entrapment.
Mediawatchblogger is watching this situation and will provide corruption updates as received.
