It may be time to reach out to the San Diego Police Dept.
I swear.
I'm perhaps not going to be popular for saying this, but the cousin is the best reason civilians shouldn't be allowed to own police scanners and other somesuch snooping devices. And obviously the credentials for a "press pass" need tightened up considerably.
The cousin might protest, "But I need these things to do my job."
Bull.
The cousin doesn't have these things because she needs them to do a job; she has these things
only because she's a
yenta, a snooping old busybody who sticks her nose into
everything, who has a compulsive neurotic obsession to be "the first to know."
nadin reminds me of a woman who was a supervisor at a place where I was also a supervisor, but we were on different shifts, she the first and me the third. She always came in early, earlier than any of her fellow first-shift supervisors.
At first, I thought, "Wow, that's a really motivated person."
It wasn't until later I figured it out. A lot of things happened during the night, and she wanted to be the first to know. She wanted to be the first to know so badly that surely she inconvenienced herself considerably, coming in an hour earlier than her fellow supervisors.
If she were sick, she'd come in anyway, snoop around, and then go home sick.
If she were on vacation, she'd come in anyway, alleging to pick something up she'd forgotten, snoop around, and then leave.
If she had a funeral to attend, or some appointment to keep, in the early morning, she'd come in first, snoop around, and then go off to wherever she had to be.
She
had to be the first to know, before the other supervisors.
The cousin's exactly that sort of person.
