Police petty cash: ominous or not?
Linda Gyulai inquires into the murky nature of SPVM petty cash expenses. The police claim that certain expenses disappear because of a “glitch” is weak, but on the other hand, I should imagine a police force actually does need some unmarked money to quietly pay informers, off the books. So the situation may or may not be dubious.

On a technical level. It’s actually completely believable that the expenses would disappear from the public database due to a “glitch” . I can think of two explanations for that off the top of my head without even knowing anything specific about the technology.
Just because it’s believable doesn’t mean it’s true, of course.

Could be a glitch, could be misfiled information, there are a dozen ways information like that could be misplaced in an outfit like the SPVM.
Unfortunately, it’s also a nifty and unrefutable excuse.
