ROSEDALE, Md. (WJZ)—An elaborate extortion scheme generating thousands of dollars. Wednesday night, investigators say it was Baltimore City police officers and the owners of a local business who were behind it all.
Kelly McPherson explains how investigators say the operation worked.
In a more than two yearlong investigation, federal authorities claim 17 officers took kickbacks for illegally steering car accident victims to a Rosedale auto body shop.
Majestic Auto Repair Shop in Rosedale is at the center of a massive kickback scheme, involving 17 city police officers.

| Not pleasant reading, these kinds of things never are, but is encouraging to see that "watchdogs" are active.
Read it, doesn't sound so much like extortion to me, more like bribery/kickbacks... but I don't really know what extortion encompasses legally.
