I have read Post #8 ...
I may very well be simple...
but could you please point out to me where the “kid” started or was a smartass?
Honestly I can’t see it...
in order to preempt a response of “if you can’t see how the kid was smarting off then I can’t help you...”...
I honestly can’t, please give a point or statement, that the kid made, that you construe as being smart ass...
thanks
Nothing?? Well, it's 2am. The lot is deserted. The kid pulls in and parks. SOMETHING is going on. Yes? No?
Or is the punk really saying, "It's none of your damn busines WHAT I'm doing in a public parking lot"?
(He later admits he was waiting for a friend. AHA! So, something WAS going on. He lied. Why? To pi$$ off the cop. Why didn't he answer that right away?)
Officer #1: Why you parkin here?
Brett: Can’t I park here? It’s a commuter lot right?
Oh, boy. ANSWER THE QUESTION, JAGOFF. What is he hiding? What's going on here? What's with the attitude?
" ..... You got any ID on you?
Brett: Yeah, I do.
Officer #1: Can I see it please?
Brett: Did I do something wrong?
That's it! Yep you did. I asked you two questions and you answered neither of them. I asked you for ID and you're not giving it to me. At this point, I'M bitch-slapping the kid as I'm pulling him from the car -- which is why I'm not a cop.
The kid was uncooperative, evasive, combative, a smart ass, and a jerk, wasting the time of a cop who -- up to this point -- has been polite.
Now you may say he wasn't required to give the cop this or that. Fine. Then why did he eventually tell the cop why he was there and why did he eventually show his ID?
