Do you hate secularism? Are your kids not getting diddled enough at church because those stupid police keep butting in? Who are they to tell you when your children can have "jesus juice"?

Well people, Alabama has the problem solved.

Alabama Senate passes unprecedented church police bill

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – The Alabama Senate has voted to allow a church to form its own police force.

Lawmakers on Tuesday voted 24-4 to allow Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham to establish a law enforcement department.

The church says it needs its own police officers to keep its school as well as its more than 4,000 person congregation safe.

Critics of the bill argue that a police department that reports to church officials could be used to cover up crimes.

That whole "separation of church and state" thing is for the birds, what kind of fairy would advocate that? Clearly the answer to all of our problems is to give the state power of law enforcement/force projection to fucking churches. What could go wrong?

Wait, Sharia Law! What Alabama apparently forgot is that if they give a police department to this christian church, they have to do it for all religious entities. That includes mosques, synagogues, and temples. The people most fearful of Sharia Law are so shortsighted that they're making it entirely possible for Sharia Law to become an institutionalized thing in their backyard. Sad!

Alabama, you've already taken a dump on voting rights, the sanctity of marriage, the Constitution, ethical behavior, and being a net contributor to the rest of the country.

Why do you hate America so much?
 
So, will this "police force" have the same rights and duties as a normal police force? Will it be able to interact with the state and federal legal system for such things as subpoenas?

Or, is this just a glorified security department that makes for a great secular scare soundbyte? Not much detail in that article you link to.
 
The important thing is that the liberals want legalize men and women taking shits in adjacent stalls. That's the real threat to western values, not a government agency run by a church.
 
Will this "Police Force" receive federal funding like non-secular local police departments?

If it was a "glorified security force", would the state senate have to pass a bill authorizing its formation?

And would critics be bringing up the issue of a law enforcement entity reporting to church officials?

Come on son, use your critical thinking skills.
 
Video of the first Alabama church officers being sworn in.

 
Will this "police force" be required to investigate crimes? Will they collect evidence themselves? Will they be required to undergo legit police training? forensic training? Will they hand out speeding tickets? Arrest drunk drivers? Will they in fact do anything other than safeguard the school grounds from violence much like any normal security guard department at a university?
 
TS should go live in a country with sharia law and see if he prefers that over a nation built on Christian principles. Good luck with that!

As I said, what rights will this police force have in regards to the public? Is their activity strictly relegated to the campus? Are they required to turn over criminals to legit law enforcement or can they deal strictly with the courts?

Simply calling something a police force doesn't necessarily make it so, but it does make for wonderful headlines though don't it.

Let's see what their responsibilities are first before crying about separation of church and state.

TFW you try and minimize this so much that you overlook that college "security guards" are actual cops.

Alabama is just a few trillion tons of sand away from being a ME country.

Many campus police may have previously been city or township officers or possibly work in both capacities but their responsibilities and range of options for dealing with crime are not necessarily the same. Nor are they necessarily seen the same by the court system.
