Ex-cop plans 'Never Get Busted Again' video

Former Texas agent teaches how to hide, stash, and fool drug officers

TYLER, Texas - A one-time Texas drug agent described by his former boss as perhaps the best narcotics officer in the country plans to market a how-to video on concealing drugs and fooling police.

Barry Cooper, who has worked for small police departments in East Texas, plans to launch a Web site next week where he will sell his video, ¢‚¬Å“Never Get Busted Again,¢‚¬ the Tyler Morning Telegraph reported in its online edition Thursday.

A promotional video says Cooper will show viewers how to ¢‚¬Å“conceal their stash,¢‚¬ ¢‚¬Å“avoid narcotics profiling¢‚¬ and ¢‚¬Å“fool canines every time.¢‚¬

Cooper, who said he favors the legalization of marijuana, made the video in part because he believes the nation¢‚¬„¢s fight against drugs is a waste of resources. Busting marijuana users fills up prisons with nonviolent offenders, he said.

¢‚¬Å“My main motivation in all of this is to teach Americans their civil liberties and what drives me in this is injustice and unfairness in our system,¢‚¬ Cooper told the newspaper.

Cooper said his Web site should be operating by Tuesday.

As a drug officer, Cooper said, he made more than 800 drug arrests and seized more than 50 vehicles and $500,000 in cash and assets.

¢‚¬Å“He was even better than he says he was,¢‚¬ said Tom Finley, Cooper¢‚¬„¢s former boss on a West Texas drug task force and now a private investigator in Midland. ¢‚¬Å“He was probably the best narcotics officer in the state and maybe the country during his time with the task force.¢‚¬

News of the video has angered authorities, including Richard Sanders, an agent with the Tyler Drug Enforcement Agency. Sanders said he plans to investigate whether the video violates any laws.

¢‚¬Å“It outrages me personally as I¢‚¬„¢m sure it does any officer that has sworn an oath to uphold the laws of this state, and nation,¢‚¬ Sanders said. ¢‚¬Å“It is clear that his whole deal is to make money and he has found some sort of scheme, but for him to go to the dark side and do this is infuriating.¢‚¬

Smith County Deputy Constable Mark Waters, a narcotics officer, said the video is insulting to law enforcement officials.

¢‚¬Å“This is a slap in the face to all that we do to uphold the laws and keep the public safe,¢‚¬ he said.
