My best bud here in Jacksonville is a now retired J S O and told me of a car that over took him on I 95 at 95 or so MPH with New York plates. As the car passed him the guy shows a badge to the side window. That must make it OK the JSO told me. He did pull him over and told him to slow down and the badge thing is not the way to go in florida. did he give him a brake yes, was he do one if he is willing to stop a bullet in his job. I think so .

Well said. I agree. . |
After thinking about this some more, 2 points came to me.....
1. Suppose I'm at an Eric Clapton concert. Do I get to go backstage and see Eric? probably not, because I'm just Andy Anderson. BUT........if my name is Mick Jagger and I'm a member of the Rolling Stones, I probably get ASKED if I want to go backstage. Just about any scenario you can come up with will probably be the same. It happens EVERYWHERE to one degree or another, even with the LEO's. 2. You have NO idea what the LEO just came from! Maybe he just left the scene where a speeder hit a minivan killing or severely injuring one or more small children, or from the funeral of a co-worker. They might have just come from a situation where they got shot at. I've been shot at with the intent to kill, and I can tell you that it isn't any fun....PERIOD! YOU might just be the beneficiary of something like that and don't even have a clue what's pissing him/her off, and they DAMN SURE ain't gonna share that info with you! That's why I always try to be polite and pleasant with the LEO. Hell, if you were pulled over it was probably because you were "noticed" and deserved to be pulled over anyway. There are probably a million more points, but these 2 just jumped out at me., Andy :wavey: |
