Alabama may allow church to form own police force

quote [ The ACLU is warning Alabama lawmakers a proposed police force for a mega-church could be unconstitutional. ]

What they claim to want is a police department in their immediate location. The way they're going about it is to get legal permission to set up their own police force.

Not unusual for a school to have a police force. But the first question I would want to ask...just how many officers were you thinking about?

No. It will have one policeman that might patrol it. No school has its own police force.

Universities have their own police forces.

Universities in the US do, anyway. Sworn officers with the power to arrest and everything.

Yup, that's what I'm talking about.

Police forces that answer to an elected official like a mayor, or a police force that answers to, say, the head of a church?

Sure, this is a terrible idea, and as the ACLU is suggesting, probably unconstitutional.
But then again, when we have police answering to, say, corporations (as with the recent United Airlines incident) it's not that big a leap.

Why can't they just hire security guards?

Not Alabama enough.

And churches need their own police, because... Jesus & Guns & America!
