"A smart cop, fewer since the 32% ruling, can find another way to make you miserable."

Yes, which is why it should always be legal to record your interaction with a LEO, just ask fellow freeper Brett Darrow.

I had a bogus run in with the locals in the city I grew up in, a small city in Mass.

I received a parking ticket for parking on the property I was renting, in a defined parking area. The cop was the Police Prosecutor, LEO with a Law Degree, who lived across the street.

Following the usual practice I payed off the cops to keep the citation off of my record, Deck Sergent, bag man.

I came off of the Middle Watch, Power plant, one day after a week in Vermont, and I was arrested on a Bench Warrant. I was hauled to the local police station, where a member of Johnson's 100K, with whom I served with in VN and booted out of my squad as to dumb to live, had me dictate the arrest report and correct his spelling, government education.

I was hauled before the Judge, a man with a serious booze problem, but fair, I used to drive him home when he couldn't walk, best recruiter the Marines ever had.

I went before the bench and had my say, I was never served, the LEO had both copies of the Summons. My story of involvement with the Police.
