However, just as in any profession, there are a few jerks in law enforcement.
Our middle daughter was stopped once and the Deputy Sheriff was a absolute a$$hole to her.
I knew the County Sheriff slightly through my job at a local TV station and wrote him a letter.
I got an immediate call from the deputy's Sergeant and then a Leiutenant. I told them that I wasn't looking for any punishment to be administered, but hoped that they could make the guy realize that his attitude really hurt police/high school student relations.

Thanks for the compliment.
I definitely agree with you- there are MANY jerks and even some criminals in law enforcement. I think you took the right approach with the situation your daughter encountered- I would have done the same thing if I had been in that situation and my father would have done the same. There is no excuse for inappropriate behavior with any profession (hello, ethics?) and it takes a lot to be able to stand up to those who enforce the law. I'm hoping the people you spoke to regarding that sheriff's actions were understanding and did something about it.
