@@ryanwallace2156 Look, no offense but you do understand the difference between "abuse of power" a lay term and "abuse of power" as a term of art, right? There's no doubt that in lay terms this is an abuse of power. I don't think its a legal abuse of power though. You're right as far as case law goes but I'd really be surprised if there's no case law already established. I know Alaska has a huge reserve officer force for the same reason as that town: a lot of the towns in Alaska can't afford to pay a full time certified cop. I'd say that AK would be a good place to look for case law regarding who can appoint police, volunteer, etc. I'm guessing you just copy-pasted your rant at the end since it wasn't relevant to what happened here. These people were paying to be "police officers". I don't see any immediate violation of the law, but I'm guessing if there was an investigation you would see all kinds of charges pop up like bribery, fraud and embezzlement. That's probably the reason multiple people resigned. It would be great if an investigation could get off the ground, but the FBI still needs RAS to even start an investigation and PC for warrants. To be honest, the best way to get the ball rolling on this would be for an organization like the SPLC to file lawsuits against individuals involved for whatever, then to turn over what was found in discovery to the FBI or NM DA's office. That would give them PC to do a real investigation, but it costs money to get to that point and I don't think you're going to find anyone willing to bankroll that lawsuit or a nonprofit with enough money and manpower to divert to something as (relatively) inconsequential as people paying to be cops.

I served in the reserve deputy program for 5 years and it was almost as much fun as being a firefighter and there were times I arrived on scenes with injuries and was able to provide medical treatment until paramedics arrived.

I like how the state police chief says a lot of people want to be police officers but can't. These days, a lot of people can be police officers but don't want to. It's just a hassle of a job and there are so many better employment options for good and honest people. A law enforcement career is left to be populated by the lower end of the educational curve and those who have fewer options. Honestly, becoming a police officer is not difficult. A lot of agencies are so desperate for people that they are accepting misdemeanor crimes. When I went through a police academy many years ago, I was shocked by the number of people with prior dui, theft, and assault convictions. Makes a person wonder which side is for the Crooks and which for the cops? Think about it the next time a cop pulls you over. Everyone should record every interaction with police regardless of the perceived professionalism of the officer. Don't trust the police simply because they wear a uniform and badge.

I’m gonna play devils advocate-in a small New Mexico town with 400 something people who probably 99.99% have guns; I can see how the mayor would say okay to the extra $60,000 ish tax dollars the town got for letting these weirdos act like cops. I’m sure they didn’t think these guys would do anything dangerous… until they did. Sounds to me like the town was relatively safe and that the reserve program worked for the most part- except the lack of background checks, qualifications, and required passing of police academy. They let these guys come be cops in town for the funzies, for as long as they needed to, so they could keep the badge year round, and they laid $400 each for it. I’d be happier if the mayor had put the money into infrastructure rather than his and the “police chief”’s pockets. But relatively speaking, if the guys on Dan Blitzerians team would have kept a lid on their crazy; they’d be fine

It’s so much of a kick in the ass when officers committed of crimes get to resign. They commit blatant violation of laws openly committing crimes, and when caught, they get to quit. I think when criminals are arrested, and they go to court, and the judge says… How do you plead? The criminal should have the choice to say, I resign your honor!

You have no idea what you're talking about. The vast majority of the country requires a two year criminal justice degree. The remainder only require a 2-year degree in any subject but you must have an associate's degree. As for the job being hard, spend a week actually doing the job, you'll figure out how easy and how hard it is.

Don't get me wrong everybody interviewed in this video is a fucking douchebag. Police have no more authority than an average citizen, the difference, is police are bound by oath to intervene and act whereas a citizen has a right to yield our sovereignty to the police. Any member of the United States of America citizenship can make an arrest if they are victim of or have witnessed a crime. We have the option to do nothing, we have the option to yield to the police, we also have the option to step in and make the arrest ourselves because we the people are the law, the law is already in our hands because we are the law.
