[QUOTE="malbrour, post: 2247776, member: 6069"] I guess i don't understand this. Are the contractors deputized? if so, under what legal authority? The local news is always showing officer imitators, and tell us not to stop for anyone but real law enforcement. What are they gonna do when someone says "FU Mr Rent A Cop" and drives off? I see a real financial conflict of interest. There's a lot of money to be made from seizures. Several years ago this happened on I-10 in Louisiana years back until a federal sting caught the local law enforcement in the act of planting fake drugs to get some nice loot. Whenever public officials decide on their own to pay private firms with taxpayer money, you have a perfect opportunity for racketeering to occur. Does the DA's brother in law own the contractor company? Taxpayers should call for an investigation by the Feds, not that you can trust them much either. [/QUOTE]
