Introduction to Law Enforcement, Monday

"Good morning, students-- including ones I don't recognize..."

Anyone who'd been hoping to see their teacher with curves would have to go home disappointed. Lucifer was an angel; he looked however he felt at any point in time, and right now, he felt like a mopey, still-depressed Lucifer.

"Before we head on to interrogate some suspects and witnesses from the rickshaw case, I'd like you all to get some practice on interrogation technique," he said. He clapped his hands. "Half of you are criminals. You may take your crimes from the crime jar."

He gestured, helpfully, to the crime jar.

"The other half of you must interrogate the other person and attempt to determine what crime has been committed based only on the evidence mentioned on the back of the crime note."

He clapped his hands. "Go on. Torture each other into giving up the goods."

"I mean," Tip said. "Because it reinforces class stratifications and cultural oppression."

Lana thought about it. "But is that a crime?"

"Maybe?" Tip suddenly wasn't sure. "I'm pretty sure it falls under 'fraud'. But, like, pretty much anyone who actually does it isn't going to get arrested for it or anything. They're all middle aged white ladies. So kind of untouchable."

"Because the upper classes don't care about their own attempting to move upward as much as they care about the lower classes trying the same," Lana noted. "White men are the really untouchable ones, I thought?" she asked.

“They are. But white women aren’t far behind. Especially if they’re doing it to help a white boy.”

"Right. Well, if it's okay for them, I don't see why it shouldn't be okay for you. Class boundaries are stupid. Don't tell anyone I said that."
