NYPD officer charged with spying on Tibetan New Yorkers for Chinese government
Source: The Hill
A New York Police Department (NYPD) officer on Monday was charged with spying on Tibetan New Yorkers for the Chinese government.
A criminal complaint accuses Baimadajie Angwang, 33, of acting as an illegal agent "at the direction and control" of Chinese government officials at the consulate in New York. The officials allegedly directed the officer to monitor the activities of ethnic Tibetans in New York and assess potential ethnic Tibetan intelligence sources.
The complaint also accuses the officer of using his position at the police department to allow officials at the consulate to connect with NYPD leaders. Angwang served as a community affairs officer in the 11th Precinct in Queens and also as a staff sergeant of the U.S. Army Reserves at Fort Dix in New Jersey.
"None of these activities falls within the scope of Angwang's official duties and responsibilities with either the NYPD or the USAR," the complaint said.

he could ..."get away with this." Like Trump, this person doesn't have a clue.
I wonder if whatever they paid this person, was it worth it.? Lots of prison time no doubt. Also, no one,
not even in prison, likes a traitor to your country.
