Loophole Helps Charity Fool Donors

When you get a call asking for money in the name of a charity, Georgia law requires them to tell you whether they're getting paid with some of your donation.

But there's a loophole to that law, one the FOX 5 I-Team discovered a local police charity knows all too well.

The DeKalb Fraternal Order of Police decided years ago to fire their outside fundraising company over complaints those paid solicitors misled the public by pretending to be police officers. The lodge tried doing it themselves, but they weren't good at asking for money. So they hired their own solicitors, who quickly took advantage of a loophole in the law.
