As of May 2012, only 341 people had been granted them, according to sheriff's records. Compare that with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, which had 1,754 permit holders in 2011, despite a population of just 2 million people to L.A.'s 10 million. The Kern County Sheriff granted even more, with 3,564 permit holders in a population of 800,000 people.

In L.A. County, records show, most of the permits go to judges and reserve deputies. But there is another group that seems to have better luck than most in obtaining permits: friends of Lee Baca. Those who've given the sheriff gifts or donated to his campaign are disproportionately represented on the roster of permit holders.

Keep the protectors and well to do fully armed, and leave us Plebes to fight amongst ourselves with pairs of Scissors.

Perhaps not a happy ending, but certainly a satisfying one. Former LA County Sheriff will finally being heading to jail to serve his three year sentence after SCOTUS denied his petition.

This is really a story for the 'More Protecting and Serving' thread. This is worth the read. This guy and his cronies would move an FBI informant around in their jails, under and alias to keep the FBI away from him. They threatened and FBI agent at her home and tried to serve a search warrant on the LA FBI office.
