When people are obtaining money illegally, the smart types tend to keep it on the down low as much as possible. There are plenty of dumb criminals out there that show off too much and get snagged, but when police do it, it becomes more newsworthy and memorable. Recently, British policeman Osman Iqbal rolled up to work in a Ferrari, which was a very large red metal flag that something was up. It was not a police Ferrari patrol car, but a personal vehicle that he clearly could not afford on his salary.
