News of the video has angered authorities, including Richard Sanders, an agent with the Tyler Drug Enforcement Agency. Sanders said he plans to investigate whether the video violates any laws.

"It outrages me personally as I'm sure it does any officer that has sworn an oath to uphold the laws of this state, and nation," Sanders said. "It is clear that his whole deal is to make money and he has found some sort of scheme, but for him to go to the dark side and do this is infuriating."

If anything the only think that makes me question whether or not Barry Cooper has left the dark side is that he is not offering the video for free.

"I know I won't be accepted by my peers here in East Texas, but in other areas of the country I will be celebrated," he said sitting in an office in Tyler. "When I was raiding houses and destroying families my conscience was telling me it was wrong, but my need for power, fame and peer acceptance overshadowed my good conscience."

Cooper argues that people are being sentenced to long prison terms for drugs when murderers, child molesters and rapists are getting shorter sentences.

"The trillions of dollars we're spending in the War on Drugs should be used to protect our children," he said. "Our children are being molested every day and everyone knows we have lost the War on Drugs."

...Prohibition merely empowered the criminals, he says, and that's just what's happening now with prohibited drugs.

"We have cops and other people getting killed and I believe we could end all of that," he said.

He said the video would only show footage of how certain things interfered with a search and would not go into details, but the promotion says he will show the viewer how to beat the system.
