Didn't we used to call these groups "Vigilantes"?
Although it could lead to a resurgence of such groups like The Guardian Angels, Hell's Angels acting as concert security, and the KKK.
Can't wait for the barrage of lawsuits that will be inevitably filed on behalf of plaintiffs arrested, fined, or just generally harassed by these pseudo "law officers".
Good points.

Training that a police officer would attend.
Virginia Criminal Justice Services Training Manual and Compulsory Minimum Training Standards
Virigina State Police AcademyOne of the Academy's chief functions is to conduct training for the Department's new Trooper Trainees. Each basic session consists of 33 weeks of training, to include:
- Fourteen weeks of basic classroom instruction
- Four weeks of field training in their home county with an experienced Field Training Officer (FTO)
- An additional 15 weeks of classroom instruction
- Six to eight weeks of post-academy field training
The curriculum includes 123 subject areas and over 1,536 hours of instruction. Classroom subjects include laws of arrests, search and seizure procedures, and testifying in court.
I guess they didn't know they could skip all the hard stuff and become a cop in one week.
