"It's easier than you think to create your own police department
in the United States.
"Yosef Maiwandi formed the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority --
a tiny, privately run nonprofit organization that provides bus
rides to disabled people and senior citizens. It operates out
of an auto repair shop. Then, because the law seems to allow

of the San Gabriel Transit Authority Police's anti-terrorism
division, and gave him business cards."
