I guess reporting everything an average cop does each day is kinda dull... but the "bad" stuff makes headlines and brings out the knee jerk reactionaries who are quick to believe everything (bad) the media reports about the police.
Is your real 'fight' with the cops who are doing a job using the tools (laws) handed to them, or the numbskulls who wrote the laws?... and the people who keep putting them in office?
And before you stomp off thinking being arrected "for writing a lisence number" is all that out of the rhelm of legal reality, read California penal code 148PC

Someone wrote this law, this way, and handed it to ever police officer in Ca to use, abuse.
The beef isn't with local law enforcement. As a local law enforcement veteran, tell us; just what do
you[/i] think about 'homeland security'; aka 'The Feds' and they way they go about their jobs?
Around here, the county cops and sherrifs & volunteer fire dept rank 'The Fed's' lower than the bottom life habitual criminal trash our local cops risk their lives against every day keeping their neighbors safe.
And, you know as well as I do what input you and your neighbors, cops and all; had with regards to the enactment and reorganization of the Federales new 'Security Force', their marching orders, priorities, or their code of conduct. Those rat bastards doing
anything[/b] to make local law enforcement a respectable job that's do-able and safe?
Thought not.
In an 'us vs them' rant against the goverment and thier stooge thugs intrusions into local lives, rights and liberties I don't consider local Peace Officers 'them'.
