Mayberry RFD was fiction, y'all, Take 2

In my ongoing quest to remind people that small towns are no more or no less moral then big cities, I present: Town of 250 people has 50 cops on the payroll. Most of said cops didn't even live or work in the county - they used their badges to work as bounty hunters in Houston, the nearest big city.

ETA:

“It looks like to me like it’s a fraternity that wants to carry concealed guns,” said State Rep.Bill Rehm, who is a retired Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Captain and also a member of the BCSO Reserves." - New Mexico town of 430 has 100+ police - most of whom don't even live in New Mexico. (BTW, the "chief" was getting paid $400 per year by each of those "police.") Hat tip Tamara Keel
