When you go asking your senators for things, you need a rock solid base. When someone notes that "David Marchetti" is after this bill, and Google's him... They're going to find rants about how the police are evil and corrupt and anything else that he's posted.
Corbier I can tell by your statement your a law enforcement lackey, not all police officers are angels by any means, at least I speak the cold hard truth. Come deal with some of the security hating police officers we have had contact with over the years I know not all of them are bad, but many are and that's a fact - suck it up and move along as it's getting old. I judge the cop based individually I know a lot of good cops too, ones I would trust with my life. It's the bad dishonest ones I do not like or support. Have a problem with it, tough as I really don't care. And yes, after 22 years of being in this profession and owning my own agency for 14 yes I would like to see some viable changes in the laws. Go get hit by a tractor trailer durring a burglary, have a former suspect stalk you, and bring a federal lawsuit against a city and police department then talk your nonsense. Sorry some of us are realists in life and in my eyes you don't even come close to my experience in the field, your not all that nor a bag of chips buddy.
Here in Texas private security is taken seriously (for example, SOs are included in our "Assault of a Public Servant" statutue), if you want that to happen in your state, you HAVE to avoid giving the wrong impression. This "commentary" gives the wrong impression.
Black Caesar our state statutes governing security have been lacking for a very very long time, just a few years ago we could not even carry a nightstick while on duty without a special permit, no state statute exists that permits us to carry mace, but their is no state statute that prohibits it so it leaves many companies and S/O's in the lurch so to speak. Do I issue my employees mace or don't I?.They have not even addressed Air Tasors being carried by Security Officers but they are addressing it for Police Officers, again we are left out in the lurch so to speak. The only law governing the use of electronic stun gun makes it a Felony to use such a devise with no statutory exemptions for Police or Security. But Police are using them are they technically violating statutory law when they use them?. I think that's a valid question don't you?. Local Police Department regulations are not LAW. No law prohibts a Security Officer from carrying one, but it's a Felony if used?, then why carry it if you can't use it legally?.
Let's just say a lot of gaps are left wide open in state laws. Now they are they really getting some bad advise somewhere or their brains are in park. As for Assault of a Public Servant or Safety Officer they cover PRIVATE employees of hospitals and Ambulance Companies, we should have been included years ago, but we have not to date. It makes no sense you assault a emergency room nurse it's a Felony, you assault the Security Officer that act's to protect her it's a Misdemeanor?. And they want to make it a Felony to hit a kids coach?. Please explain the logic of this to me?. This is what irks the hell out of me it's like they put very little thought into the legislation.
