The way the system works now, American Citizens have fewer rights than Illegal aliens, LE know what they can and cannot do to keep from getting sued or whatever (besides illegals don't have any money), which is why they turn to SAFE targets of opportunity, their new mission is to eliminate the very dangerous no seatbelt wearing, fine paying, tax payer.
I am sorry, until the citizens regain equal status with the Tax Collectors, they are the Enemy, they get nothing from me except my disgust and pity. It has gotten to the point that I just hate to drive anywhere anymore, and yes I have had this very conversation with LE, two neighbors are local LE, we don't speak anymore.
About 7 years ago we moved here and we had a bit of a Gang problem, they would break into my garage and shop every week, they painted their gang signs on the walls and fences, one day they stole a brand new lawnmower in broad daylight (the replacement for the one they had stolen earlier) I caught them, the police were summoned, they came with guns drawn (no lie) but they were pointing them at me. They were going to take ME in, all the while the little thugs are laughing and running away. A heated discussion followed (I supplied most of the heat) in the end they didn't take me in (my wife convinced them that I really wasn't going to bury the little thugs in my back yard), now the punchline...
I did not have the receipt (it was in the plastic bag, along with the warranty, still hanging on the mower, which the little bastards had in their possession) they sold it to a Motel a couple of blocks away from me, (I watched them using my mower for 3 years) and I was further instructed that if I followed through with any of my intentions (I had suggested that I might just buy another lawnmower, set it in plain sight but conveniently forget that I had a live 220V electric cord attached to it, or electrifying my fence) that I would be the one going to Jail. The topper (this is great) I had 2 weeks to paint over the gang graffiti or pay a fine (city ordnance and all) and to continue to paint over it until they stop tagging me, this the officer explained is the best way to stop all of this vandalism.
I have 7 years of these stories, now we have a new Mayor, a new Police Chief (who immediately proceeded to hire all of his relatives) and nothing has changed except our Taxes need to go up (again) for the purchase of more new Police cars. I guess they will have to work twice as hard catching all those dangerous no seat belt wearing, fine paying, taxpayers.
Other than that I am a big supporter of Law Enforcement.
P.S. I do not dial 9-1-1.
