Austin
When I ran for Mayor of Austin, Texas in 1991, there was a guy named John Johnson who also ran. He was in the WPP and the government set him up in business in Austin with 3 hot dog vending carts which he operated on 6th street on the weekends. He was straight out of central casting, complete with the gruff Jersey accent and hard nosed attitude. When I asked him how many people he killed, he told me he'd never killed anyone, he was the wheel man. He'd been in the program for about 12 years at the time and didn't give a shit who knew about his past. He once went on T. V. during a debate wearing a US flag around his neck and drinking a can of Budwiser. He came on with a briefcase and when he stopped to open it to retrieve some stats, everyone ducked in laughter! Throughout that campaign, he and I became friends of sorts and he wasn't a bad guy after all.

For those complaining about the debt bit, remember, the people getting these protection were already loaded to begin with and not for any good reasons. As far as the courts are concerned, paying all your debt at once before going into Witness protection is the worst you'll get. So don't go thinking it's such a unfair thing cause remember the people getting this are people who in any other cases would be serving the same time as the people they ratted out on.

School records? What about university degrees? What about job skills? Certifications for occupations? If you get credentials as a nurse and have no education or experience, you'll get fried. If you are a college professor of, say, mathematics or languages, what then? Oh, there's the car wash down on the corner. Really, there are more holes in this program than I can imagine how to fill.

WHAT PROGRAM CHANGES YOUR AGE & IDENTITY to protect you so you can perhaps JOIN THE ARMED FORCES? with no age waiver needed? Just so you can get a career, 33 Marine Corps Reserves, strictly branch to earn that title as let's say you were cheated from joining for 10 years of your life that you aimed your best & kept relentlessly trying for? How do you do this lawfully & legally?

What if someone is a key witness to putting away a particularly dangerous member of the mob, but that someone has insurmountable debts? If they can't pay off their debts, they can't go into the program, and therefore may not want to testify.

I'm guessing the Government will have to pay the debts. If the guy going into wit sec has a debt he can't clear, then they obviously can't just refuse them. So if were to guess the FBI pay your debt and then you'll have to pay back the FBI.

I would hate this so much. I have such a strong bond with my parents, sisters and neices and nephews that it would be hell to have to give them up. I don't know if I would be willing to testify if it meant I'd have to go into WitSec.

So I guess that means that if I'm ever in a situation where my life is in danger because I'm a witness in a trial, then I'm screwed since I owe a lot in school loans that I can't pay lol

It's probably gotten a lot harder since facial recognition became a thing.
I guess you can say goodbye to you previous hobbies, communities stretch around the globe in the digital era.

Makes you wonder how many people we've all come across that might be in witness protection. Could be the next door neighbor, people we work with, people we pass in the streets, who knows.

I somehow found myself living in Omaha, Nebraska working in a Cinnabon. All I was trying to do was order a new dust filter for my Hoover MaxExtract PressurePro model 60.
