I'm torn on this issue. Should Chief Moose be allowed to profit from a book that he is writing about his experiences dealing with the DC sniper? Or does the fact that he would be making money as a direct result of his public service poisition compromise his integrity?

On one hand I think that people should be able to write whatever they want, and if they can make money from that fine. But on the other hand, if the motivation to solve crime is only to profit from the movie deal, then we may have some sort of integrity issue down the line. Are criminals that are in jail allowed to profit from books that they write about their gruesome murders?
