December 14, 2009- Albuquerque, NM- Robb Hamic has been blogging about illegitimate security companies in New Mexico since May of 2008. One of the most notorious companies was Legit Security, directed by Gil Baca. Robb had a lot of help along the way from security professionals and people who had been wronged by Baca, his employees, partners and company. Baca and his cohorts denied all of the endless charges and evidence and often claimed that all of it was fabricated by Robb Hamic for some unknown reason, which was untrue and false. Baca called upon God to stop all of the blogging that ensued about him and his company. He even started his own blog and openly told all of his employees about it. He cites rumor and threats but provided no real information about anything. He used his blog (which stopped being published November 24, 2009) to redirect blame and his own shame towards Robb Hamic by making up lies. You see, Baca is a criminal and that is what they do. Today, he is sitting in a cold cell in the Albuquerque Metro Detention Center because on top of being charged with 77 felony counts (facing 102 years in prison), he violated the terms of his release and bond. He has been in jail for over two weeks now and there is no telling when and if he will ever get out.
Why did Robb Hamic blog about Gil Baca? He is a crook. Plain and simple. Robb got threats, harassment, false things said about him and even numerous death threats.. What is the history of Baca's crimes? Take a look at some of the links below for some reference and make sure to look at the date.
Blog 1- May 2009
Blog 2- Taos News "Legit is not Legit"
Blog 3- KRQE's story on Legit/ Baca (one of them)
Blog 4- Santa Fe Reporter's take on Legit/ Baca/ Stidham (one of them)
Blog 5- 770 KKOB's Peter St. Cyr has always been first with stories on Baca/ Legit
Blog 6- KOB Channel 4 has been following Baca/ Legit for sometime too
Blog 7- I gave Baca some good advice but he didn't take it.. LOL
You have really stuck your neck out for all of us who were screwed. Many of us have gotten out of the security industry all together because it is so hard to find a company that is legal and ethical. There are just too many characters out there and i would rather get a solid paycheck without worrying if it was going to bounce..
I am thankful that you put all of this time seeing this through. I know that it must have been a long haul for you too and that you didn't get anything out of it. Anyone who has a brain can see that the security industry is in a recession in Albuquerque. It is funny that there isn't as much mud slinging at you when people are locked up... I guess that is probably not a coincidence either.

Isn't that the truth. I didn't get much out of this whole thing with Legit/ Baca except a bunch of threats, harassment and BS. I expected as much but I didn't think it would take this long for the criminal charges to hit. It seems that there may be a lot more to come for Legit and its owners/ partners or whatever. I noticed a new lawsuit last week against Legit by NM Mutual and Casualty Insurance Company. I guess everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. LOL.
Stay tuned for the massive class-action against Legit and all of the rest of them.
If you are someone who has been screwed by Legit or one of the people in charge- stand tall and don't be intimidated. Their long run of getting away with things seems to be coming to an end.
