I really did grow up in a world where we were taught that crime doesn't pay and we stood up when the teacher came into the room.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There was one 'crime' during the whole time I was at school, when a fountain pen went missing. Stealing just didn't happen. I was taught not to shoplift, not to steal, not to behave badly. We weren't even allowed to drop litter.
I get paid for what most kids get punished for.
While teaching, I also worked undercover in the lower courts by saying I was a young law teacher wanting experience in criminal law. The judges were happy to assist me but what I learned was how corrupt the lower courts were. Judges were accepting money right in the courtroom.
I realized crime isn't the only way you can judge people. People can do good things, and people can do bad things. It's probably better to understand people for the good things they do.
I was a rebellious kid, always getting into trouble.
I learned life from some good teachers.
I wanted to show that crime doesn't pay. If you are saved and accept the Lord, you cannot use that as an excuse to avoid punishment.
In all the years I've taught at the FBI Academy, I've only seen crime get easier, faster, and harder to detect.
We live in a society where it's cool to be criminal.
I saw that crime pays, but I never got involved in crime.
