Private police carry guns and make arrests

Michael Youlen stopped a driver in a Manassas apartment complex on a recent night and wrote the man a ticket for driving on a suspended license. With a badge on his chest and a gun on his hip, Youlen gave the driver a stern warning to stay off the road.

The stop was routine police work, except for one fact: Youlen is not a Manassas officer. The citation came courtesy of the private force he created that, until recently, he called the “Manassas Junction Police Department.”

He is its chief and sole officer.

He is a force of one.

What could possibly go wrong with this? UFB!!!:bsflag:

Isn't that like "impersonating a police officer "?

:D ;)

While I don't agree with the whole deal, the real LEO would pay his fine in Virginia like anyone else...and if he got an attitude, he may find himself on the other end of a face plant
