Am I the only one who finds the idea of privately employed police officers somewhat unseemly? The payment of a salary creates an obligation that could all-too-easily run counter to the duties of a law-enforcement officer.
If a privately employed police officer witnesses a crime committed by his/her employer or employee thereof, does ignoring that crime constitute bribery (salary would stop if the arrest were made)?

How often can this be the case? How many railroad assets are in the aircraft cabin or "sterile" area of an airport.
