I plan on spending my retirement on a farm reading books and fishing, with the occasional deer hunt. Getting revenge on the fuzz doesn't seem to me fulfilling. But that is about 100 years away at the rate I am going.
Well I won't pretend that it would not be personally fulfilling, but you're missing the point... law officers who believe the law does not apply to them have no place in our society. Law officers who believe they have the "flexibility" to use selective enforcement or to "enforce" what they believe the law should be also have no place in our society.
State Troopers who cannot obey the speed limit have no place in our society.
City Policemen who turn their lights on just to go through a red light and turn into the donut shop (I've personally witnessed this) have no place in our society.
City Policemen who attempt to enforce state laws which are not a violation of city code are simply impersonating a state law enforcement officer and are themselves in violation of the law, also having no place in our society.
Now getting back to the story in this thread... the officer who charged this man with obstructing an officer in his official duties needs terminated and banned from ever serving in a law enforcement role again. This is an abuse of his authority and I consider it a public service if there is anything I can do to help clean up our LEO services where this type of arrogance exists.
Personally fullfulling? perhaps
"revenge on the fuzz"? there's nothing to get revenge for and this is not applicable. I just have basic respect for a nation of laws and that creates a problem with assumed and fake authority where no such authority exists.
A nation of laws does not have law enforcement officers who believe themselves above the law or believe they have authority to charge a citizen with a fictitious crime just because he caused a bit of a scene.
To ignore such behavior and allow it to continue is not only dangerous for our society, but it's selfish and self centered.
