EX-COP'S VIDEO TELLS HOW TO FOOL POLICE

TYLER - A one-time Texas drug agent described by his former boss as
perhaps the best narcotics officer in the nation plans to market a
how-to video on concealing drugs and fooling police.

Barry Cooper, who has worked for small police departments in East
Texas, plans to launch a Web site next week where he will sell his
video, "Never Get Busted Again," the Tyler Morning Telegraph reported
in its online edition Thursday.

Cooper, who said he favors the legalization of marijuana, made the
video in part because he believes the nation's fight against drugs is
a waste of resources. Busting marijuana users fills up prisons with
nonviolent offenders, he said.
