“Hey, you can’t blame them for going after guys like this. They have known addresses, don’t shoot back, speak English. Much easier on everyone to put this kind of perp in the hoosegow than those nasty murderers, drug dealers and child rapists.”

I believe that 100%. Few seem to want to go after the real bad guys and if they do, they show up with an armored vehicle and 100 SWAT officers.

It has been an interesting trend in this area that few prior service people are hired for law enforcement. Most I know fail the psyche. I think it is because most are not afraid to take the fight to the bad guys.

Recently I was stopped by an officer who observed me driving from the pay window to the pick up window at the drive thru without my seat belt. Per usual I didn’t respond when he told me why. He asked for a response. I asked him if this is what he pictured himself doing when he entered the police academy. Surprisingly, he let me go with a verbal warning. I do not think most enter the force with the intention of busting average folks over the smallest infractions of the law.

How can you be ticketed if you’re on private property?

That would mean they could enforce a seatbelt if you’re just backing out of your garage.
