"Give a man a badge and his attitude changes completely, all, not a few. The power of arrest is not handled well by most police officers, whether local, state or federal. The number of Federal agencies that now have the power of arrest is staggering, add to that state and local, with the school at the bottom of the ladder, who will be next the sewr dept?????? Actually, the local Douglas county water authority has ARMED officers that patrol the 2 resevoirs that were built with taxpayer money.
Before they built the newer resevoir, where they charge you $15 for 2 people and a boat to fish, you could fish in the old one for free, and there weren't any water cops.
I know that Douglas County is home to the City of East Point (Fulton County) reservoir. The orginal was where Arbor Place Mall now sits. We used to fish in the lake. They drained it in the early 90s. East Point now gets its water from the lake at Sweetwater Creek State Park.
