Re: "...elevating the alignment between security professionals and law enforcement."
The sheriff in question was out of the loop and claimed jurisdiction due to federalism (the building was of municipal jurisdiction, the state normally doesn't get involved in municipal matters under federalism). If you tried something like the above on him, he probably would've added additional charges, sued to have the terms declared null and void, and try to fine the people involved several times over.
That's the problem when you start dealing with government agencies: sovereignty gets involved (which means someone's going to claim overriding authority--that includes contracts).
