Barry Coopers web site just got shut down.

[Tony Aroma]

I was thinking more about this and started wondering about something. Supposedly all Mr. Cooper and his crew did was set up their fake drug house and wait for the police to come with a warrant. If that is indeed the case, then great. They did nothing illegal or even wrong.

But how did the cops find out about this house in the first place? Mr. Cooper said it was set up in secret over a period of several months. So how did the cops find out about it? They didn't just pick this house at random for their raid. Someone had to tell somebody something. And if it was someone in Mr. Cooper's crew that "tipped off" the cops, then they were providing false information to LEO, and that definitely is not legal.

So what I'd like to know is what happened between the time the house was set up and it was raided by LEO? It would appear that this very important part of the story is conspicuously missing, since it would determine the legitimacy of Mr. Cooper's sting operation. I'm all for what Mr. Cooper was apparently trying to do, but if it's not done right then it's kind of pointless and may do more harm to the cause than good.

his website is back up...

 

[funker]

maybe they provided false info to a known snitch, knowing it would get back to LEO...i bet the snitch is getting reamed by its LEO handlers right about now, gotta love it...

I have the same feelings...

What I also take into consideration is what if, he really feels remorseful about what he has done? What could he do to make things right in his eyes? Possibly, what he is doing now. There is nothing he can do to reverse what he has already done, only go forward as best he can.

I, too, have my skepticism...but I think it would be best if I withhold those judgements until I know more of this situation.

Very well said

Imagine if millions of people were to do the exact same thing he did. Now that would have a huge effect and I think it would change things. Runs to Home depot buys tree, order lights, install some cameras, and grab a bag o popcorn. I will say that if i were one of those officers i would def think twice before i did an illegal bust.

 

[whodi]

wonder if the FEDS have a hit out on Barry

 

[Tokin_Jo]

We have the Never get busted video , good work I must say. Forgive, but never forget. I've seen this over and over again. Everyone hates a cop until someone kills one of your friends or family members. Lots of hypocrites here

 

[JJScorpio]

I didn't see anyone say they hate cops that bust murderers. Only the ones that put growers and smokers in jail. Do you see the difference?

 

[Pythagllio]

If the man was on fire I wouldn't even waste my piss on putting it out.

If he puts out a TV show showing cops embarassing themself I will watch it regularly and enjoy the hell out of it.

bad cops bad cops, whatcha gonna do?

 

[JJScorpio]

Watcha gonna do when they come for you????????

Barry's assumption was that the officers were illegally using FLIR. Perhaps since Barry is an excop, he can probably tell when and where a helicopter is being used for this purpose.

A site manager at his forum said that they had pumped a lot of hot air out of the house. If they channeled the air to come out of the attic, garage or another part that shouldn't have the highest heat signature, that could draw the attention of a wayward FLIR imo.

I know all about Barry's corridor and have seen first hand how those guys blatantly violate peoples rights. They've turned profiling into a money making operation for the counties they operate out of. They spend 90% of their time on the highway hoping to stumble across somebody with a load of weed or cash that they can confiscate, seize their property and collect their fines.

Its not so much hating on cops in general, but hating on what a lot of cops have become, which is a quasi legal and organized gang of thugs in it for the money.

If you belive in Barry good for you. I think he's just subscribing to the old adage "There's a sucker born every minute." That's why he sells his shitty shady videos. Probably makes more than his old shitty pig salary.

 

[Bulénath]

This article made my day. The second I craked a huge smile and endless laughter over watching my favorite thing in the world, pigs getting busted, my christmas tree arived.

What a wonderful day!

I agree that the former officer probably feels very remorseful, and probably knows very well first handedly how crooked his "brothers" really are.

Think about it...A good hearted person really joins the force in the pure name of justice, and finds out how fucked up and dirty the "good guys" really are.

I think he is trying to make peace with hiself and god, what ever god is to him...

Sure he is making an honest buck...Hell A lot more honest that the PIGs he is trying to put away. Can we blame him for that? Truth be told, he should be praised. I don't care how you look at it, the fact is this guy is taking down cops. Fuck yeah.

 

[SFC]

And if in fact he can prove the pigs are illegally using flir,and he can prove it, that would open up a huge can of whoopass on the Odessa police. I agree with once a pig adage, but what he did here is a step in the right direction.

Dont hate the player hate the game.

 

[Ajunta Pall]

Dont hate the player hate the game.

What game is that? The con game? Barry Cooper learned all he knows by busting some poor unfortunate growers. And since he is so generous he will sell what he knows about us back to us. I've seen parts of his videos. You could learn a lot of what he said for free on sites like ICmag.

Actually Barrys specialty was highway profiling/interdiction.

He started on the Highway 59 corridor in east Texas catching mules coming north from Mexico out of the valley.

 

[Ajunta Pall]

Whatever. But the vids I seen him in were dealing w/ growers. Since that pertained to me most, those were what I watched on Youtube. Almost all of what he said, I had read on OG a few years back

It's not that I hate the dude, I'm just very leery of him. I think he's a snake oil salesman. I just can't trust a man who claims if you buy his product that you'll never get arrested again.
