Lafayette City Marshal Can Now Add Citizen Paid Fees to Salary

Former Lafayette City Marshal Brian Pope was indicted on multiple federal charges for pocketing fees paid by citizens to pad his income. At the time, Pope was told not to do it, but now there's a new law on the books saying it's OK to do exactly that.
The new law was signed by Governor John Bel Edwards this week allowing
"the marshal to supplement his income with fees collected by his office" as reported by KATC.
We all know how laws change through the years. Something that's illegal today might not be in 5 years.

That being said, this new law has people raising an eyebrow or two and has many wondering why the law was even proposed in the first place.
