It is even more hilarious when you have someone like the Chief of Police of the Smith County Sheriff on speed dial in your cell phone.....and get them to tell the unfortunate officer these things.
true story.

My true story is that I have NEVER met or known any officer who seemed to be a "power tripping asshole' (and by your own posting that would also include the Chief of Police of Smith County [would that not be the Sheriff of Smith County himself?])
My parents brought me up to respect Officers and other public servents.
As I posted before, if one put themselves in the positon that the officer is in and treats them as one would like to be treated, matters generaly come out rather well.
But that is just my POV based upon my experiences.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.
My opinion is that most adults who can't handle a situation without calling daddy are the power tripping assholes who deserve to get somewhat embarrassed in public.

Very true-would agree with your POV.
One would also have to wonder about ethics, public trust and laws being broken as well.......

Due to several posts posting within minutes, I missed one or two.
As per links I provided, she did.

You're making it sound like i'm 30 years old or something.
I guess I have the liberty/ability to avoid being "embarassed" in public.

So, you're saying you're not an adult? You're over 18 aren't you?

Yeah, you are right about the Sheriff/Chief of Police thing....I dunno what I was typing.
I never said I would treat an officer or public servant with disrespect, of course I wouldn't. Do I think, in my own experiences, that cops are tremendous assholes? Yeah.....especially in Austin and my hometown.
....I am going to take advantage of my resources though if it can get me out of trouble. I really have not ever been in a bad situation....but there have been a couple times where knowing people has helped out and helped others out.

No, I didn't say i'm not an adult. I'm 21, still in undergrad, and am still supported by my parents. I am perfectly capable of handling a situation.....but when I can make a phone call to someone that has a large amount of "pull" I am going to do it.
Obviously when I graduate and am on my own, things will be different.
