As far as your quoted comment, allow me to retort....I was not a nerd in school, in fact, I was a little bad azz that knew everything about everything...knew my roadside rights to search and seizure and even told a few cops what was going and not going to happen....THEN, I GREW UP! and like FFF I wanted to do something that made me feel good about making positive changes....THEN....Life showed me that when you are in law enforcement or any other public service...You are damned if you do and damned if you don't....and you starve like a church mouse because of what they pay....So I left that....but what never left me was the respect for them...knowing what they have to deal with day in and day out and work thier guts out just to make ends meet....and are rarely received well by society....Because most people think just like what is on this board...This happened to me so I hate them all...they are ALL crooked....That is why...But no, I didn't take it as disrespect, just fun conversation.

well said frank as a former police officer of 12 years i totally get what u saying. When i was a officer if i searched someone's vehicle it was for a reason i just didn't pull someone over and decide that the vehicle needed to be searched just for the hell of it. Even when i pulled someone who had been drinking a little i would let them call a ride or sometimes would even give them a ride myself. It's was all about the attitude. Can't tell you how many times i pulled someone over and wasn't even going to give them a ticket but there mouths talked them right into. I am a firm believer in give respect to get respect and i always treated people with respect unless they made the decision that it wasn't going to happen that way.
