They could have let this man drive on home, they would have been able to trace him from his plates and license number and taken him to court.

Uh, FITZ, it's a felony, from what I understand, to pull away from a legal traffic stop. I have been pulled over a few times in my life. The last time, in Montana back in January, I was doing 15 mph over the speed limit, and the cop gave me a warning, bless him. A sheriff's deputy for the county I was in. You know, the level of government that so many freepers profess to love. Well, if you love local government, why do you decry them when they exert their legal authority?

That's one reason I do tend to like local government more than non-local government. At least when the population levels aren't too high and the law enforcement guys personally know or are acquainted with the more eccentric individuals and know how to handle them. I saw a situation at the end of this dead-end road that ended well enough probably because the cops were using the guy's first name and obviously had dealt with him before but they didn't seem too inclined to make things worse.
