Why cheat your way to the top when you can earn your ranks in the New York City Police Department?

Well according to a report by the Daily News, nine sergeants from the department are wondering the same thing—and are taking action.

In a lawsuit filed on March 24, the sergeants allege there was a multitude of cheating during 2015’s lieutenants’ exam, the News reported, which included access to questions and answers on the test—verbatim.

Only 164 of the 2,400 actually passed.
