The "rogue buyers" appear to be government agents in the employ of the state.

How does this affect them?

[muawiyah]

They are not cops. Cops are, as it turns out, limited in the performance of their duties by such things as the Fourth and Fifth Amendments (and others).

Your ordinary government employee used/misused by Bloomburg is not so limited, or at least not used to being so limited.

That means that since he's not a cop, the undercover ordinary government employee will be subject to the same penalties as anybody else who is not a cop.

Even Bloomburg could find himself looking at a long trip to the slammer in the Old Dominion.

We could go down to Richmond and poke fun at him on visitors days.

How does this affect them?

It makes them a felon. They better not get caught doing anything in VA.

Did you read the article?

>>"It's not the job of the mayor of New York to enforce the criminal laws of Virginia," McDonnell said yesterday. "It's a matter of jurisdiction."<<

The VA LEO's want to maintain their full authority in their own cage. It's bad enough they have to share it now with the Feds.
