Unfortunately, I've run into quite a few LEO wannabes. One tried to "frisk" me when I was seven or eight years old. I think he was actually a pervert. It left its mark on me.

They can arrest for any Felony or breach of the public peace committed in their presence or view....

I'm not familiar with that classification (seriously). What can they do about something that might be pot or oregano?

I have a wicked impulse to see if their dogs can sniff the 100 or so shotgun hulls in my trunk. I haven't done it because I'm busy with work.

Crystal Beach, yes. Otherwise go by land on I-10 and state route 87.

The article that you referred to says, "The screenings began June 6, with vehicle checks performed by the security firm SeaWolf Marine Patrol." Earlier articles in the same paper said the same thing. So does this press release: http://www.dot.state.tx.us/news/local_n ... 1-2006.htm.

This is a private company, not TXDOT employees.

What they will do with someone or something that they think is illlegal is up in the air. They are not law enforcment. It will be a field day for lawyers.
