    What are they supposed to do if they are laying in on a staged accident and it goes down in front of them? Call a cop?

    I think that was an error in the story. The original bill, as approved by the Legislature, contains the following: \”The fraud program investigators who have obtained certification as a peace officer under RCW 43.101.095 have the powers and status of a limited authority Washington peace officer.\” In Washington we have General Authority Peace Officers (GAPO) such as SO Deputies; city police and the State Patrol. Most others are Limited Authority Peace Officers (LAPO) which have peace officer powers only in a specialized area, such as gambling/liquor/fraud, etc.
