    Cool Are Cops Agents Of A Retail Chain, in Illinois

    Can a police officer work as an agent for a retail chain in the LP and Prosecution Process? My brother got caught in a retail chain store and was not aware at the time that the cop was actually their agent, working aggressively on behalf of LP. This fact is clearly indicated on the summons/arrest record.

    Is that a conflict of interest? Does the cop receive any kind of payment from the retail store? Also my brother only had one store item with him at the time (verifiable through video footage) worth $45, but the cop put 6 items on the arrest record. Is that a gross misrepresentation?

    Can a police officer work a part-time job, outside of his regular hours? Of course. Can an on-duty cop arrest somebody for stealing, and aggressively work to ensure the conviction of the thief? Of course.

    Are you stating that your brother stole in front of a police officer because he didn't think the police officer could arrest him?
