When I lived in my last house ... my neighbors were a husband and wife and both were Deputy Sheriffs in an ajoining county. One day as I worked on my computer the overcoming smell of gasoline started to come in the window. I went outside and saw the lady Sheriff pouring (not spraying ... pouring) gasoline on the rocks of the levee ... I live on the river bank. Apparently she was killing the weeds on the levee with the gas. The gas was running into the water and was making a large oil slick which was headed towards my $200,000 offshoer racing boat. I VERY nicely asked her to stop and she said ok ... ten minutes went by and I went outside and she was still pouring. I called my county Sheriff and told them that I did NOT want to get them in trouble but I would like her to stop pouring gas on the rocks. The cop came to my door he was very polite and asked what was wrong. I explained the situation and he went down to talk with them. When he returned ... he had an entirely different attitude. He said "you know that both of your neighbors are in Law enforcement don't you ?" I said yes I did ... he said in so many words that my call was not appreciated and that I should mind my own business. I went back outside and she was still pouring ... later in the week I got a notice of complaint about my cat being outside and got a complaint about my dog barking ... he never barks. In the next 2 months I got pulled over 4 times ... all for seat belt which I always wear. The cop always said that he "thought I did not have it on" because he couldn't see it. I was never the same guy. It finally stopped when I got my best friend who is a US Marshall (now retired) to go down and talk with them ... I suspect he wasn't to nice.
So why don't people turn in bad cops .... I know why
