17. Or they say that they are broken.

I know that they do that to their computers, because I have to fix them. When they don't want to do paperwork these days, their computer turns up with something wrong with it, and it might take a day or two until one of us can get to it. Not to mention, the bulk of the computer repair jobs we get come from the Sheriff and Jail. And it's ALWAYS when some sort of paperwork is done, that they forgot to do without computers.

What makes one think that they wouldn't do the same thing to cameras?
