Stephen C. Webster Published: Saturday December 6, 2008 Barry Cooper, a former Texas police officer with eight years of specialty in drug interdiction, first made waves when he released the film "Never Get Busted Again," a how-to guide for evading police drug seizures. Austin, Texas-based Cooper's latest project is not nearly so benign, and will likely generate for the former drug warrior an army of enemies in law enforcement. 'KopBusters' is a reality TV program that aims to sink crooked officers. "KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana," claims a release from NeverGetBusted.com "When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house." "The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster's attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster's secret mobile office nearby. "The attorney was handcuffed and later released when eleven KopBuster detectives arrived with the media in tow to question the illegal raid. The police refused to give KopBusters the search warrant affidavit which is suspected to contain the lies regarding the probable cause. "It is not illegal to grow plants under a light in your home but it is illegal to lie on an affidavit and plant drugs on a citizen. This operation was the first of its kind in the history of America. Police sometimes have other police investigating their crimes but the American court system has never dealt with a group of citizens stinging the police. Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops? We will keep you posted." Cooper's "Never Get Busted Again" was a runaway success, the sales of which serve as financial support for this most recent project. "The drug war is a failed policy and the legal side effects on the families are worse than the drugs," Cooper said to the Dallas Observer in early 2007. "I was so wrong in the things I did back then. I ruined lives." The 'Kop Busters' sting was the feature of a CBS 7 report, aired Dec. 4, 2008.

We need a lot more of this. All citizens also should have video cameras in their cars to record every illegal things the police do. The police in the town where I was born fortunately are decent guys. Once they tore up a garden of marijuana plants instead of arresting the person and the next morning some elderly lady called the police and said some whippersnappers had pulled up every okra plant in her garden. Everyone had a good laugh about it.
Have pug, will laugh.
Anyone who believes a single word told by cops nowadays is a certifiable idiot. Cops lie through their teeth about anything and everything. They're NOT to be trusted, ever. They're LIARS to the core. Then again, what do you expect from those who enforce the laws of the most corrupt legal system on the planet?

Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops? We will keep you posted." The citizens have every right to that search warrant. It was used by the cops to gain entry into the house. We can only hope that the attorney in the case is on the ball and prepared to bring a law suit to gain possession of the search warrant. With what crime could these citizens be charged? Even the ubiquitous "interfering with the duties of..." is not applicable in this case. Growing trees indoors is not illegal. I commend Barry Cooper for his efforts. His actions may go a long way in cleaning up police departments nation wife. RO
