      Vicky is pretty smart. With her partner, she's even smarter.

    There's a story somewhere about how law and order works differently on different sides of the river. In GMY the various ganglords, politicians, and business lords have an uneasy alliance over territories where crime is rampant. The police, courts, and media are all corrupt. In Paradopolis there's a working police force that targets the more unsavoury criminal elements and a rather smarter senior underworld that usually maintains an acceptable truce with the cops - for now. The Paradopolis cops and robbers are more likely to work together against GMY than either would be to work with their GMY counterparts.


I guess the simplest way to explain it is that Vicky Cameron has an overdeveloped sense of justice. Her partner, Jack Burns, as a veteran of Paradopolis PD, tries to temper it a little (so she doesn't try to take on every gang in Paradopolis and GMY at once) but if she feels like someone has been publicly wronged, she'll grab on and hold tight like an obnoxious and foul-mouthed pitbull.

That very well might put her on suspension. She's the type to respect politics and let it slow her down, but she isn't the type to let politics stop her completely.
