While looking up some information on Sun Cities Posse and if they can really do anything related to law enforcement I found this interesting article which REALLY makes me glad Joe is gone. As for what I was looking for, a friends 70 yr old mother has joined the posse and will be carrying a gun,wearing a sheriffs uniform
so I asked if she had LEO powers and was told "yes, she has ever power a normal deputy has".
I didn't think that possible but under Sheriff Joe you never can be too sure so I checked and NOPE,NO,NOT HARDLY. Whew, was I relieved.
Those posse people in Sheriff cars have no more power than you or I. I wasn't even aware until I read the following article that those posse Sheriff cars are not even county owned vehicles but are surplus sold to the "non-profit" posse.
