1.Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California, U.S.)

1.达利尔·艾沙——国会议员(美国加利福尼亚)

politician

California Republican Darrell Issa is the wealthiest member of Congress, and with numerous arrests under his belt, he is also the member with the shadiest past. His worth has been estimated at $355 million, which Issa began amassing when his company developed the Viper Car Security System. The talking alarm featured Issa's voice warning potential thieves to "Please step away from the car." Ironically, Issa has multiple arrests dating back to 1972 for stealing cars and been accused of an assortment of other crimes, ranging from arson and insurance fraud to concealed weapons.

达利尔·艾沙是加利福尼亚共和党议员中最富有的,有着数不胜数的被捕记录和令人发指的过去。在他的公司开发了蝰蛇汽车安全系统后,他的总资产估计达到3.55亿美元。汽车的防盗警报声就是使用艾沙的真人发音:“请离我的车远点。”讽刺的是,1972年艾沙好几项偷车的犯罪记录,还有很多其他的犯罪指控,比如纵火、保险诈骗和非法藏匿武器。

2.Mayor George Rosario (Groveland, Florida)

2.乔治·罗沙瑞奥——市长(弗罗里达州,格罗夫兰市)

politician

In 2016, the long arm of the law reached back 30 years to strip George Rosario of his Groveland, Florida mayorship. Rosario won a three-way race for the job, but one of the losing opponents insisted that the outcome should be overturned. Apparently, during his campaign, Rosario falsely claimed to have been awarded two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart and to have served 21 years in the Army. He also neglected to mention his two 1987 convictions for dealing cocaine. A judge later decided that Rosario should not be allowed to serve as mayor after all.

2016年,乔治·罗沙瑞奥30年前的犯罪行为被揭露,其弗罗里达州格罗夫兰市市长的职位也随之不保。在之前的竞选过程中,罗沙瑞奥曾打败了另外2位候选人,但是其中一位候选人坚持投票的结果应该被推翻。显然,在罗沙瑞奥的竞选中,他所称的“在部队服役的21年期间被授予了2枚青铜勋章和1枚紫心勋章”皆为谎言。而且他还隐瞒了自己在1987因贩卖可卡因被判刑2次的经历。东窗事发后,法官免去了罗沙瑞奥的市长职位。

3.RJD MP Mohammad Shahabuddin (India)

3.穆罕默德·谢哈布丁——全国人民党国会议员(印度)

politician

In a country that appears to be run by competing criminal organizations, Shahabuddin is the standard against which all of the many criminal politicians in India are measured. From campaigning from prison to releasing selfies while jailed, slapping around police officers, and killing off hostile witnesses and journalists, Shahabuddin lives large. A notorious crime figure before his long career as a PM, Shahabuddin has racked up 75 arrests, ten convictions, and has 45 cases pending since he began his political ascension. Recently, he was released from jail after being acquitted in a triple murder case that was disputed in court for 28 years and is now free to continue his political career if he so wishes.

印度基本上是一个由犯罪组织管理的国家,谢哈布丁就是众多有犯罪记录政治家中的典型代表。谢哈布丁的犯罪记录罄竹难书——在监狱里参加竞选,被关押时发布自拍,袭警,暗杀对自己不利的目击证人和记者。在谢哈布丁成为国会议员之前,他就已经是一个臭名昭著的犯罪分子了,在他的政治生涯开始后,有75次被逮捕记录,10次被判刑记录,有45件案件待审。最近,他又新卷入一桩三尸案,差点儿会被判28年,却在法庭辩论环节后变成了无罪释放,如果他愿意,还可以继续他的政治生涯。

4.Assemblyman Nelson Castro (Bronx, NY)

4.尼尔森·卡斯特罗——议员(纽约布朗克斯区)

politician

Former Bronx Assemblyman Nelson Castro had a string of arrests before being elected to office in 2009. He committed larceny in Michigan when he was 19, and grand larceny in 2003 (for bilking unemployment checks while employed), and was arrested in 2008 for accruing over $3000 in parking tickets. Finally, after being indicted in connection with a voter fraud investigation in 2009, Castro agreed to wear a wire for the FBI to gather evidence against other corrupt politicians while performing his duties as an elected official. "This guy couldn't be trusted from day one, and lots of people knew it," said Mike Soto, a community leader and reformer in the Bronx.

前布朗克斯议员尼尔森·卡斯特罗在2009年被选为公务员之前有一长串被捕记录。19岁在密歇根犯有盗窃罪,2003年犯重大盗窃罪(有工作时去领了失业救济金),然后在2008年因为欠下了3000多美元的停车费被捕。最终,卡斯特罗在他的议员就任期间,被发现参与虚假投票。2009年,他开始戴上窃听器为FBI搜集其他腐败官员的证据。“从一开始就不应该相信这个家伙,很多人都知道这一点,” 布朗克斯的社区负责人和改革家迈克·索托评价道。

5.Candidate Jordan Haskins (Michigan House of Representatives, 95th District)

5.乔丹·哈斯金斯——众议院候选人(密歇根95选区)

politician

An automobile enthusiast turned politician, Jordan Haskins has been seeking election to Michigan's 95th District House seat since 2014.

乔丹·哈斯金斯原来是一位“汽车发烧友”,从2014年从政后,一直在密歇根众议院第95选区谋求一席之位。
Growing up in Raleigh, North Carolina, Haskins had a number of auto-related arrests, but after moving to Saginaw, Michigan (possibly to be closer to the Motor City), he began to develop a "cranking" fetish. (Cranking involves pulling spark plug wires to masturbate while cranking the engine.) The police explained in their report that "Jordan would remove the spark plug wires, then sit in the car and masturbate while the motor was sparking and making noises."
哈斯金斯在北加利福尼亚的雷利长大,有着一些与车有关的逮捕记录,但搬到密歇根的萨吉诺后(可能是与汽车之城隔得近的原因),他对电启动别人的车相当迷恋。他不仅是单纯地电启动偷车,还在等待电启动的时候手淫。警方的报告中写道“乔丹拔下火花塞,然后坐在车里开始手淫,直到汽车启动发出声音。”
He was arrested on multiple occasions for breaking and entering a building with intent, unlawful driving of an automobile, larceny and trespassing, and malicious destruction of personal property. "I was just a lonely, angry kid at the time," Haskins said. "If anything, I could be put on 'World's Dumbest Criminals.'"
他被捕的原因有:多次闯入大楼偷车未遂、盗窃、非法闯入及蓄意破坏他人财产。“我那时只是一个孤独的,容易生气的孩子,”哈斯金斯解释道,“如果非要给自己一个标签,我应该是‘世界上最愚蠢的罪犯’了。”
So far, Haskins hasn't been successful in winning a seat in the House.
到现在为止,哈斯金斯还没有被选为众议院的一员。
