Not Above The Law

“All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”” – Galatians 3:10

In November 2023, a former Los Angeles Police Department officer, who is also a registered sex offender, was arrested for human smuggling while in possession of a firearm.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents pulled over Gariner Beasley, 62, a United States citizen. Beasley presented to police a badge “similar in appearance and style” to that of a Los Angeles Police Department officer when agents approached him.
In the back seat of the SUV were three adult women and one adult male, prompting agents to conduct an immigration inspection, according to the CBP. All four people in the vehicle told agents they had recently crossed the U.S./Mexico border unlawfully.

As they searched the SUV, agents discovered an unserialized 9 mm handgun, or “ghost gun,” as well as two fully loaded 9 mm magazines and a shoulder holster.

Beasley is facing charges of possession of a firearm by a felon, owning/possessing ammunition or a firearm when he is prohibited to and fraudulently impersonating a peace officer.

Beasley could be incarcerated for a maximum of seven years if convicted of these charges.
