<h2>A little grease for the wheels of the Fairfax Code Department</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">FAIRFAX, VA. – Bribes go a long way when attempting to get the mental-midget morons of many government agencies to get off their lazy butts and approve routine permits sought by citizens. Therefore, it’s a time-honored tradition to pay simply a little cash as an inducement to get permits approved. From buying perc tests in rural areas, to bribing the health inspector to give a good report for District of Columbia restaurants to taking bags filled with cash into the office of United States Vice President Spiro Agnew or donating millions to the Clinton Foundation in order to get Hillary to approve much sought-after status for firms and nations – cash makes the world go round.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_10944" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10944" style="width: 289px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.the-chesapeake.com//2016/03/23/fairfax-police-beat-the-fairfax-county-department-of-bribes-open-for-business-bring-cash/rakesh-k-kapoor-operated-fairfax-code-enforcement-bribery-dept/" rel="attachment wp-att-10944"><img class="size-full wp-image-10944" src="https://www.the-chesapeake.com//wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Rakesh-K.-Kapoor-operated-Fairfax-Code-Enforcement-Bribery-Dept..jpg" alt="Rakesh K.

Kapoor operated Fairfax Code Enforcement Bribery Dept., say cops.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thus, this story from the squeaky clean Fairfax County Government tells the tale of a permits inspector allegedly stepping out into the hallway to expedite the functions of government.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Fairfax County Police report this tale: “To date, no additional violations have surfaced, but we still seek the communities’ assistance if anyone is aware of a similar or suspicious event of this nature, to please contact us.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">To share more details of the case, the Department of Code Compliance (DoCC) received a request for a receipt from a resident on Tuesday, March 1, 2016, about a cash payment tendered during an interaction with a Code Compliance Inspector. The payment was for a code compliance violation which the resident was attempting to address by obtaining necessary permits. The interaction took place on Tuesday, September 1, 2015, at the Department of Code Compliance located at the Herrity Building, 12055 Government Center Parkway, Suite 1016. The exchange of money took place outside of the DoCC office suite but inside the Herrity Building.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://www.the-chesapeake.com//2016/01/03/editorial-cartoons-for-january-2016/hillary-comes-clean/" rel="attachment wp-att-10311"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10311" src="https://www.the-chesapeake.com//wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Hillary-comes-clean.jpg" alt="Hillary comes clean" width="960" height="712" /></a>Upon receiving the inquiry, an initial investigation by DoCC was launched, and it was determined that a possible criminal violation had occurred. The DoCC staff requested assistance from the Fairfax County Police Department on March 4, 2016. Detectives from the Major Crimes Division began their criminal investigation which resulted in the identification and subsequent arrest of the involved employee, Rakesh Kapoor.</span></p>
<figure id="attachment_10945" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10945" style="width: 262px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="https://www.the-chesapeake.com//2016/03/23/fairfax-police-beat-the-fairfax-county-department-of-bribes-open-for-business-bring-cash/vice-president-spiro-agnew/" rel="attachment wp-att-10945"><img class="wp-image-10945 size-medium" src="https://www.the-chesapeake.com//wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Vice-President-Spiro-Agnew-262x300.jpg" alt="Vice President Spiro Agnew" width="262" height="300" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10945" class="wp-caption-text">Vice President Spiro Agnew took cash bribes while Governor of Maryland and while Vice President. He resigned to avoid prison.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The preliminary investigation determined that Kapoor, who was working the service counter, allegedly told a resident that he would expedite services, in exchange for cash. There appears to be no known relationship between the resident and Kapoor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Felony Obtaining Money by False Pretense warrant for Kapoor was issued on Monday, March 21. In the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 22, he was arrested by Manassas Park Police Department officers and transported to the Fairfax County jurisdiction line where a Fairfax County police officer brought him to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.</span></p>
