My point is that the advocate pulled what seems to me to be an extreme case where an officer is making a significant overtime per-hour salary that is not available to most.

Caroline Moses at WAFB did this a few years ago with and LSP trooper. What she failed to mention is that this trooper worked LSU and Saints games during the year, which are off-duty and are paid by LSU and the Saints respectively, and escort details which are paid for by the company using the escort services. Also, anytime you see a trooper/officer at a construction site sitting there with their lights flashing it is off-duty extra duty and is being paid for by the road construction company.
