In most of the US (if not all - I don't know), off-duty police have the same powers as on-duty police, uniformed or not. That's why people want to hire them. https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/when-police-walk-security-beat https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/when-pol...
So if police are allowed to moonlight in other jobs, then they by definition bring those powers to the job - and their legal immunities, and their illegal immunities created by the 'thin blue line' of cops who protect each other.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoDid you read the article? People don't want to hire the off duty police. They are required by law to do it and very unhappy. They want to hire regular bouncers without the power to arrest to work their nightclubs.
- lazyasciiart 3y agoWow, I guess I must have comprehensively addressed your actual point, for you to switch topics! In places where it is not required to hire off duty police, they still get hired.
