I checked the mafia game for dummies, it was stated there too that the crooked cop gets to know about both the name and the role of the investigated player. Funny thing is that I have played this game several times here and I didn't know that. We played without a crooked cop when I was a G and then I never needed to specifically check the rules as I have always been a C after getting the gangster role for three times in a row.
I think we should definitely change this role. It doesn't make any sense. The crooked cop must only know who the D investigates. Based on that, the Gs can read into players and try to figure the D. But to get the role of the investigated player is ridiculous. Normally, it must be considered an achievement for the D to investigate the BG but with this rule, it will only backfire on the Cs.
