Barnstable Sheriff: No Porn = Get A Bonus

Getting a gig at the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office is a good deal. Decent pay, nice benefits, weapons, and porn. Recently, after a Cape Cod Times investigation, over two dozen employees of the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office were discovered to "have used taxpayer funded e-mail accounts and computers to send and receive pornographic photographs and videos". Barnstable County Sheriff James Cummings told the Cape Cod Times that workers involved in the e-mail scandal would be disciplined. He suggested the punishment could be as simple as putting a letter in their file, an action that would prevent each affected employee from getting the annual $1,000 bonus for good behavior. The existence of a $1,000 bonus for good behavior is apparently not considered an extraordinary perk if you work outside of the private sector.
