### Corruption of School Resource Officers

- **Episode:** [1011: Vasectomies & Dogs](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1011-vasectomies-dogs.md)

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1011-vasectomies-dogs/chapter/corruption-of-school-resource-officers.md

The policy of ignoring student crime reportedly led to the placement of "corrupt" police officers as School Resource Officers (SROs) who were skilled at navigating political objectives rather than enforcing the law. These officers allegedly received special perks, such as on-campus housing, in exchange for their cooperation in the arrest-diversion scheme. The discussion posits that this culture of inaction contributed to the failure of deputies to respond during the Parkland shooting.

### Future Justification for Domestic Surveillance

They argue that the current "terrorism only" limitation will be discarded when officials claim that lives could have been saved if they had used the data. This transition toward a "non-risk society" is described as a move toward out-and-out fascism.
