re: #66 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel
Like several other southern states, Virginia allows large religious organizations to form their own police forces, with full legal authority within their jurisdictional limits. I have been waiting for the Temple of Satan to exercise its consequent right to do so, if only to see the uniforms they are likely to come up with.
I was wondering on that very point when reading the (full) article: what, precise, jurisdictional powers a University PD has in Virginia. I know regulations vary from state to state: in some places “campus police” have little more legal status than just hired rent-a-cops: elsewhere (yes, mainly in the South), they are empowered just as any other (municipal/county/state) LE agency.
But yeah, the uniforms for the “Temple Of Satan PD” would likely be AWESOME….
