JK, it is exactly those issues that LE administration refuses to address that result in us law abiding, tax paying civilians carrying such animosity and low regard for all LE's. If as civilians we could once in a while see our complaints, concerns being addressed as fellow humans on equal footing with LE's there would not be this division. But this double standard that is as obvious as the sun coming up is what makes us nuts.
Oliver, I appreciate your patience, self control and concern but you still haven't really acknowledged any of us civilians have a legitimate complaint and that is the whole foundation of this thread. Neither side here is always right or wrong but if you won't admit a serious problem exists then we civilians are in trouble because the "law" is on your side; your word will be believed by a judge over mine every time one on one. I just went through that with a crooked cop who is in bed with an insurance scam. This lady drives around staging minor "accidents", she calls her cop buddy who is on duty and he responds immediately so no other LE shows up. He falsifies the report (I am not allowed to see it or get a copy till the next day after it is filed) and the judge tells me I will held in contempt for getting upset in court while the cop and his accomplice just smile. Neither the cop nor his superior would return my 3 phone calls or respond when I went to the precinct to address the falsified report and the judge told me to shut up when I brought that up in court. Total damage $275.00 to her car none to mine (I scratched her car, no dent, 1/8 of an inch more and I don't "hit" her), my insurance company paid her $1000 and lost wages due to claimed injuries.
