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 ! Cheers, Steve Pye
