It is not illegal to grow plants under a light in your home but it is illegal to lie on an affidavit and plant drugs on a citizen. This operation was the first of its kind in the history of America. Police sometimes have other police investigating their crimes but the American court system has never dealt with a group of citizens stinging the police. Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops? We will keep you posted.

Reality TV is everywhere these days and while criminals have often been featured on shows like "Cops" and "To Catch a Predator," the police are rarely the subjects of a "gotcha" hidden camera set-up.Enter Barry Cooper . Cooper is a former police officer specializing in drug enforcement who has become an underground phenomenon with his DVD hits "Never Get Busted Again" Volumes 1 & 2 (both available at his Web site ). Volume 1 deals with the more mundane subject of how to avoid getting a traffic ticket. Volume 2 deals with possessing and cultivating marijuana without the police being able to charge you with anything. The latter is a tad more controversial.Cooper is back in the news today because he has a new project with a new goal: making drug cops look stupid and corrupt.His new project "KopBusters" claims it sets up stings "across America to catch crooked Kops." So far only one such sting is known, and he conducted in the the very town where he himself was once a cop: Odessa, Texas.In the video, a team of law enforcement agents raid a house where they suspect marijuana is being grown. Instead they find a grow lamp and two small Christmas trees. They also find loads of surveillance equipment and a poster that says informs the officers that they are "the focus of a new reality TV show called KOPBUSTERS" and that they would soon be approached by the show's camera crew.The sting house was set up so that no probably cause could be found for searching the house, but police somehow obtained a search warrant anyway. Cooper claims the officers likely lied on an affadavit to obtain the warrant. The Odessa Police Department has not yet released that affadavit. Affadavits are subject to public records requests.On his Web site, Cooper writes:What do you think? Is KopBusters a good idea? Vote here.
