Doing Things Wrong In Houston

“If you are not doing anything wrong, why should you worry about it?”

—Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt

He’s talking about his idea to install security cameras all over Houston, including in private businesses and apartment buildings.

A fellow named Matt Asher has an interesting response:

The Hurtt Prize is a $1120 (and growing) reward for the first person who can provide definitive videotaped evidence of Houston police chief Harold Hurtt committing a crime, any crime. This evidence will posted here and forward to the Houston Police Department along with a demand that action be taken.

Of course, Hurtt is used to being in the local media spotlight, so this probably isn’t too hard on him. If Asher really wanted to give him a taste of it, the prize would have been extended to cover crimes by his immediate family members as well.
