“The arrival of a 450-ton, 380-foot-long “megaload” of oil refinery equipment near Marsing, Idaho last Christmas attracted the attention of protesters, spectators, and revenue farmers. A few days later it moved on, leaving in its wake scores of people who had been mulcted by the Owyhee County Sheriff’s Office — and a deputy who had been thrown off the force for publicly criticizing the opportunistic ‘traffic enforcement’ initiative. The sheriff didn’t respond when I pointed out that if Collingwood’s version of events was correct, he was terminated for expressing a critical opinion about a dubious use of county resources and inconsistent application of the law – which is a question of public policy.”
