Franklin , Tennessee - There was once upon a time , Franklin Police Officers really were on the honor system and they filled out their own personal time sheets. One day several officers were caught padding their time sheets. One example was being in traffic court for several hours when in fact they were no where near to be found. Soooo the shift supervisor now does the officer's time sheets for them just to keep things honest (again)
Kat : Hey Jerry , are you saying dishonesty among Franklin Police officers lead to the demise of a legal traffic court system in the City of Franklin ?
That was part of it , yes.
Question : If the people of Franklin , had the mentality of The American people during the Revolutionary War , would this type of law be tolerated ?
Note : This was reported in The Review Appeal in the days when The Review Appeal was a real news paper. Stories like this gave Jay Johnson all the reason he needed to destroy it. The Review Appeal has never reported anything honest about Franklin Police since.
