A person associated with Scientology Gold Base Security -- and it could be a disaffected PI or a Sea Org member who blew and I won't say -- told me the following. I cannot verify this allegation, but wish to report on it:
Scientology Gold Base Security allegedly offered a Hemet Sheriff's Department Deputy $5,000 if he conducted a day of training in arrest and other law enforcement techniques -- such as arrestee compliance techniques -- in his backyard. This training was to be video recorded so that Gold Base Security Personnel could drill on how to legally effect citizen's arrests on, or around, Gold Base in Hemet.
The Sheriff's Deputy declined the offer. I hope he reported the offer to his superiors if this in fact happened. It is to the credit of the Hemet Sheriff's Department that they helped Marc Headley to escape from Gold Base by ordering the "Recovery Team" that had run Marc off the road to leave Marc alone or face arrest. Still, there appears to be one or two Hemet Sheriff's Deputies who seem to be tooclose to Scientology's Gold Base. The Deputy who turned down the alleged $5,000 offer does not appear to be one of the two deputies that Scientology's critics are focusing our attention on.
What my source alleged to me was that Gold Base needed a "Citizen's Arrest and Detention Tech" because they were setting up various schemes to entrap and place Gold Base protesters under citizen's arrest. However, Danny and his Crew at Gold lacked the necessary training in making legal citizen's arrests. Rather, Danny and his fellow thugs are used to essentially overpowering, threatening, or basically kidnapping Sea Org members who attempt to escape from Gold Base. A citizen's arrest is quite another matter altogether, for if it is done improperly a civil lawsuit and criminal charges for false imprisonment and/or assault can follow. Thus, Gold Base needed to be clear on what was legal in Hemet. Scientology's need to "drill" endlessly on techniques apparently created the need for an informal training video.

Interesting, Swifty.
I forget who it was, but I called somebody in the Sheriffs office to find out about protesting at Gold a while back, and he brought the idea of a citizen's arrest up out of the blue. I was calling to ask about the whether the Keith Henson judgement had anything to do with anyone else, and he said no. He said it's perfectly ok for anyone except Keith Henson to protest, HOWEVER, if they do a citizen's arrest that's another thing. I was like WTF, we're just talking about walking up and down the road carrying signs. He said something about the police not liking citizen's arrests, but if it happens they have to deal with it.
