>I’ve encountered only one who was a real dick, and he was likely that way before he ever became a cop. Most others have been very professional.<
When you have to deal with the dickhead cop be sure to always write a letter to the Chief relating the incident. That will almost guarantee that the letter will end up in the cops performance file.
I would think you could see that investigating her and investigating someone else is a different situation.
I don’t know Graybeard...you’d better be careful! heehee
Perry Police are, as you say...dickheads. But the Houston Sheriff’s deputies are my HEROES for the way they helped me while I was separated and my husband was harrassing me.
Speaking of moron, try listening to what he is saying. :D

You're right, he does have that shifty look in his eye. Click my screen name, scroll down and that's him on the right side of the picture. (on his wedding day)
He even looks like a cop. Of course I can't tell them apart, they all look alike to me.
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers."
Ayn Rand
Yeah, surrre they all look alike to you. I bet your boy stands out. hehe, I’m right aren’t I
I agree with Ayn Rand (and you, by extension) 1000%. Nor do I assume any unearned guilt. But my statement is, in fact, true, as I am sure you realize... and if someone is OUT TO GET someone else, it’s altogether too easy to find something, ANYTHING at all, to charge them with.
"The more corrupt the state, the more laws."

Well worth the time bump.
You put your finger on a very sensitive point for me.
First of all, don't be silly. AlQaeda didn't exist when our Constitution was adopted.
Yes the Founding Fathers did exactly that, but they weren't aware of it, and had no way of knowing that, 215 years later, the Courts would create rights for criminals, particulary foreign nationals which, by the standards of the day when the Constitution was ratified, were unthinkable.
How is this relevant? Perverting laws which were created under one set of societal rules, and applying them willy-nilly to what amounts to a different country, carries with it a whole new set of legal problems.
Neither hyperbole nor sarcasm will resolve those conundrums and contradictions.
I totally agree.
The system is certainly prone to errors, but no system is perfect.
Of course, even if the odds are 100,000 to 1 in your favor, being innocent and convicted is no picnic.
In the past my position and my defense of it has been, OK, I acknowledge that possibily, and am willing to accept it, rather than letting the other 99,999 criminals go free, and not allow my love of absolute perfection to create God-knows how many additional victims.
But that's an individual choice on my part, in a free society.
