Seems foolish, on the part of the LEC's. IANAL, but I assume they that if they are non-governmental organizations, it dramatically changes their profile regarding lawsuits, that is no personal immunity, etc.

Anyone who is a lawyer know?

IANAL, but I think I can address that somewhat. While the organization itself may not have governmental immunity as a private corporation -- which it probably doesn't, having incorporated as a 501(c)(3) -- the individual police officers are still government employees and still have the immunity they would have in that role.

So the answer is to fire them from their governmental role.

unfortunately police officers are _almost_ _never_ _fired_ _for_ _any_ _reason_ _whatsoever_.
