Ah. The sting operation.
Law enforcement has strangled the constitutionality out of this favorite "police procedure" through their target of persons with no predisposition for "crime", entrapping many, many citizens into criminal schemes that they would have otherwise not been a party if government hadn't decided to ruin their lives because they can.
Pardon my chortle as KopBusters--a new reality show--stings back with true intent.
Bad boy, bad boys wearing a badge? What'cha gonna do when KopBusters comes for you?
Per The Raw Story:
Barry Cooper, a former Texas police officer with eight years of specialty in drug interdiction, first made waves when he released the film "Never Get Busted Again," a how-to guide for evading police drug seizures.
Austin, Texas-based Cooper's latest project is not nearly so benign, and will likely generate for the former drug warrior an army of enemies in law enforcement.
'KopBusters' is a reality TV program that aims to sink crooked officers.
"KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana," claims a release from NeverGetBusted.com "When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house."
"The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster's attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster's secret mobile office nearby.
"The attorney was handcuffed and later released when eleven KopBuster detectives arrived with the media in tow to question the illegal raid. The police refused to give KopBusters the search warrant affidavit which is suspected to contain the lies regarding the probable cause.
"It is not illegal to grow plants under a light in your home but it is illegal to lie on an affidavit and plant drugs on a citizen. This operation was the first of its kind in the history of America. Police sometimes have other police investigating their crimes but the American court system has never dealt with a group of citizens stinging the police. Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops? We will keep you posted."
Cooper's "Never Get Busted Again" was a runaway success, the sales of which serve as financial support for this most recent project.
"The drug war is a failed policy and the legal side effects on the families are worse than the drugs," Cooper said to the Dallas Observer in early 2007. "I was so wrong in the things I did back then. I ruined lives."
The 'Kop Busters' sting was the feature of a CBS 7 report, aired Dec. 4, 2008.
One question.
How many Christmas trees constitutes a grow house these days?
"It's been shown thousands of times that police lie under oath. That they violate the very Constitution they are sworn to uphold. Conservatives, while proclaiming an allegiance to law and order, never speak out against the lawless police. Why not? Because conservatives do no care about the law. They only care about throwing people into prison."As legal as they wannabe.

thats a gotch moment ,great vidio
I'm loving it....:)
omg LMAO I haven't even watched the video. I used to party with an ex cop from NY.
LMAO.
One of the first things that was said to me by way of threat was how the cops would plant drugs on me, my home, etc....
When I talk about them, what I say is true. Most of them went to school with me. It's unbelievable what little tiny lives they lead and how they really believe that life is FOR THE TAKING (from others)
And, of course, I'll always defend that there are some very good and honorable cops.
I would not want to be 'alone out there'. I can see how it's VERY easy to get fraternalized.
I know a cop who lives in the same house with his brother who deals. Cop cars out there constantly.
It's all a big joke on those who are outside the system and on us who are financing it.
The firemen have had so many of their houses busted. Separate residences they maintain just for growing dope. AND, more power to them, I say. HOWEVER, it becomes a dirty business when they are going into houses to selectively bust the competition.
AND that's how people get hurt.
They pretend people are rats. BUT there's NO ONE in tampa to RAT TO so what the hell they ever thought would fly with that is beyond ME.
My goal is to make them stop terrorizing my family and others.
Other than that they can go on their merry way.
Great post.
I had a feeling you might enjoy this one, voxie. :)
