[QUOTE="Tampa03cobra, post: 8062905, member: 41633"] Exactly, Then they would have given you a self-righteous speech about how they are the guardians of the law and must enforce it to the letter, until it becomes an inconvenient to them, then it's all about the spirit of the law. I have always tried to respect law enforcement and the duty that they perform, but I think more and more the adversarial attitude people have with police is largely becoming their fault. More and more of the people that become police are social discontents seeking power over others, and as it becomes harder and harder to find public servants, more of these people who's egos are too large to have their power questioned, and operate with the carte blanch attitude of "My word is the law, and if I say so, my safety is at risk and that justifies it all" are making it into the system. It's too bad because there are many fine police officers all over the world, but sometimes I think they get too used to substituting their judgment for others, and dealing with criminals they often don't take the time to treat those who are not guilty of a crime with the respect they deserve. I don't know, but after some of the things I hear from local police about how they must uphold the law at all costs even when it's not in the spirit, then in the same breath when questioned about the legitimacy of "professional courtesy" when it comes to speeding or DUI officers or family members they suddenly claim it's their God given right to bend the law to their benefit and we are all ignorant malcontent's because we don't agree.
