Overtime pay. There was a story about a BART janitor who made $250K or so in a year with overtime.

Correct, every cop I know is loaded due to overtime pay. You'd think it'd make more sense just to hire more cops out the agency, but then that cuts into everyone's earnings which discourages them from acting financially responsible.

It's actually from a settlement that resulted in him getting several years of backpay at once.
