Independent Contractors and Insurance
 

I am opposed to this regulation because there will be a lack of control over those individuals who will interpret the law in such a manner that they will act without be licensed.  Such a case is pending in Circuit Court in Chesterfield County now.  DCJS can not control the illegal (Jack Legs) running around with a badge and a gun now.  When this law is passed it will cost more money to police these Independent contractors and those that suffer will be the General Public. The lack of training is another aspect of this regulation which will be detrimental to the State and to the Public in general.  Whether it is written in stone when you give a person a license to act on his own and he doesn't have a clue what he is doing except what he saw on television, there will be lots of problems develop.  It would be my recommendation to leave everything the way it is and let the time pass for training before anyone goes out to meet the public.
