I'd have to agree Tom. I've met Cops that I would't want for best friends
but I can safely say that every ticket I've received( more than I like to
admit!) I deserved. I always felt that in most cases if you treat people
with respect that's what you get in return.
Of course when dealing with Police, I'm often reminded of Sci-Fi Author
Larry Niven's Laws.
1. Never throw shit at an armed man.
2. Never stand next to someone who is throwing shit at an armed man.
Makes sense to me !
