EXCLUSIVE: Insurance companies have worked hand-in-hand with cops to turn their loyal customers into criminal suspects. We found more than two dozen people who were falsely charged with fraud based in part on evidence provided by profit-minded insurers.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kendalltaggart/insurance-fraud-erie-state-farm-farmers?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc …
Our investigation found that big insurers like State Farm and Farmers not only refer cases to law enforcement, but play a major role in the resulting criminal investigations — and in some cases even help pay the salaries of the detectives and prosecutors bringing the cases.
In Pennsylvania, an agency funded solely by insurance companies last year awarded over $14 million in grants to fund the work of some 100 prosecutors, detectives, and investigators dedicated exclusively to fighting insurance fraud.
A Vietnam vet with no record of fraud faced 7 years in prison after his truck was stolen — because his insurer told cops he had faked the theft. He was acquitted.
Insurers around the country have provided law enforcement with false info, withheld evidence, and secretly paid experts testifying on behalf of prosecutors. Starved for resources, many police departments have been all too happy to take the help.
These giant insurers can do all this with impunity, thanks to laws they wrote and helped pass in all 50 states that make it extremely difficult for people who believe they’ve been wrongly accused of fraud to sue them.
The impact of criminal fraud charges on customers’ lives can be devastating. Not only do they face long prison sentences, but many have lost jobs, suffered public humiliation, and even ended up homeless.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kendalltaggart/insurance-fraud-erie-state-farm-farmers?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc …
How is it that these insurers that provide false info to police, aren't charged by prosecutors?
The same way they initiated the charges, 
Not surprised.
This is appalling... and completely in-line with the America of today.
