Can Private Security Guards Act As Cops? That's Exactly What They May Soon Be Doing On The Far South Side
. . . private security cars patrol Michigan Avenue between 100th and 116th streets, and a proposed city ordinance would give them many police powers. CBS
They're private security guards, already on patrol, but they may soon have the powers of Chicago Police officers.
As CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine reports, the private security officers now on patrol on the city's Far South Side are expected to have their powers expanded as part of a citywide ordinance now being prepared
As long as dey all is unionized ....

OCP will be taking the whole city of Detroit private any day now. Maybe it’s not such a bad idea.
The great irony in this is the possibility that these are the very same people that made such about what Blackwater did in Iraq, and now they want them to police their own citizenry.
Come to think of it, not a bad idea. If a number of large cities outsourced their policing duties to a private firm things might be much better. Private security officers could focus on actually fighting crime rather than enhancing municipal revenue with speed traps, DUI road blocks, McGruff the Crime Dog, and D.A.R.E. programs.
I’ll bet Blackwater would bid on it.
Blackwater is no more. Eric Prince left and the company is now known as Xe.

I suspect you’re going to see contracts with the NOI (Nation of Islam), which hires out its goon squads to rappers and thugs worldwide. I swear that Bambi himself had some NOI “security” at some of his appearances, or at any rate, they certainly did not look like Secret Service.
For anyone who is interested...

Thats a fantastic whistle blowing blog by and for Chicago cops. Read through it...it reads like the script of Robocop. You get the real story from them. Surprisingly enough, they are NOT Obama fans.
RoboCop in real life.
Ping for viewing after work...
Say now. Haven’t we seen this before—a civilian police force? Got recognized and decided to increase their own powers? Used the name Schutzstaffel. Were better known by their initials, SS. By the way, Schutzstaffel means, according to one source, Guardian Angel.
You beat me to it; I watched that movie on Sunday :)

“Are you the police?”
“No ma’am; we’re musicians”
Or Pinkerton could go back to its roots. Continental Op redux.
You just might be on to something here.
Not the Polizei and, therefore, not bound by the same constraints?
