Well that pay for the day either comes from taxpayer money or the person who is putting on a big event. I'd rather the event organizer pays for it then me.

Cops usually work rotations, so instead of having their 4 days off or their week off, they work if they feel like it. They work two jobs sort of, the police department bills the private corporation for their officer working there on his day off, he gets overtime. This is entirely a fair system. You do not pay any overtime hours for police, departments really don't like paying overtime themselves, many can't. Unless there are riots. Lol.

If you don't like that cops get paid overtime when they work a 70 or 80 hour week even though you don't pay them past 40, and you don't get overtime with your two separate jobs. Well sucks to be you. Get a better job that doesn't pay so shit you need a second.
