Private security forces?

HB 246



This bill, filed by Tony Goolsby, would employ peace officers to aid local law enforcement officers in patrolling neighborhoods. OK, sounds reasonable. These peace officers would have all of the same powers as cops as far as making arrests go, as well as other powers and authority (with the exception of writing traffic tickets). Um, okay, sure sounds fair.

These peace officers would be privately employed. Wait, private cops patrolling the streets who are able to make arrests? Uno segundo...which companies would be the employers? What oversight would these private cops have? What about their taser policy and use of force policy? Answers folks, we need answers.

Would these proposed peace officers be supplied by Halliburton? It seems awfully fishy to me.

Thanks for catching this bill!
I blogged on it on SaveTexasReps.comGoolsby is a vunerable incumbent who got only 53% against a first-time challenger who was criminally undersupported by other Democrats. Won't happen again. Goolsby is in the sites.

I too had a piece on that bill awhile back on Grits that quoted from some great Texas Observer coverage. I don't see this going anywhere - the Senate Criminal Justice Committee interim recommendations hoped for reducing the number of specialized police agencies, not expanding them. That said, Goolsby's a mixed bag on this stuff, and not nearly the most reactionary Dallas-area R, by a longshot. I was kinda surprised he filed this piece of junk.

I also had no idea, Nate, his last election was so close - you'd sure think he'd be more careful about the stuff he's putting his name on, in that light.

Sometimes I lay around and wonder why certain people keep from getting married. Is it that they really are that scared to find a mate or truly have not looked that hard. Just like First time buyer mortgage uk is a burning question on my mind... okay, I will go search for the answer now.

Have you ever found yourself totally immersed in something totally bizarre, like I was with Uk independent mortgage advice, and you lost track of time. Like you just kept digging deeper and deeper and getting more into it and then finally looked up at the clock and it was like 6 hours later, but you thought only an hour went by. That is what happened to me today. WOW is all I have to say.

One of the better results I saw from my fasting experience was that I have more self control over my eating habits. I have always been a binge type of eater. After my fast, I felt like I could restrain myself easier. It is proberbly a mental attribute. I mean I can go without eating for 7 days then I sure can keep myself from eating something I shouldn't.
