"City policymakers have had a written rule that local law enforcement officers are not to conduct undercover police work..."

Saw that. Interesting.

Brings home the old saw "all politics is local".

Also an intriguing study in self-governance. I am still curious as to how this will all shake out.

The Sheriff should just toss the Feds out of his county. He has that power.

Do you know the asset seizure laws in CO? Some States have reined in the practice, but I'm not sure if CO has. I think if the Feds are involved, then some of the loot can be shared with the locals, despite State law.

Thanks for your post.

The story has legs...

"...drug busts like the one at two of Aspen's oldest restaurants Dec. 2 will not be repeated, according to the Pitkin County sheriff."

"He said nothing like this is ever going to happen again as long as he's city manager," said Sheriff Bob Braudis, who attended a meeting with Barwick..."
