Googling "ACLU, Arpaio" brought up several links. They've been been after him for a long time. .....unsuccesfully.
 

THANK YOU very much for your research!  It's sincerely appreciated.

I'm getting the sense that the main reasons why Sheriff Arpaio's methods are not implemented elsewhere are:

• Existing State statutes prevent law enforcement agencies from adopting similar plans
• Other elected (or appointed) law enforcement officials have buckled under the political pressure from elsewhere in their States or from the ACLU.

Sound reasonable to you?

I was hoping you wouldn't italicize my butchered sentence ;)

Yeah, the reasons you stated sound about right. ...especially the second one. It takes LEOs of unusual fortitude not to give a rip about the pressure applied by the ACLU and other leftist pressure groups, and unfortunately there just aren't many Sheriff Joe types around anymore.
