    I told myself that I wasn't going to get in a "cop vs. everybody else" or a
"us vs. them" discussion on here when I joined. I am on here to see what other
DAK owners are doing to their trucks and to learn new tricks and to also learn
from their mistakes as well.
    I try to keep an open mind and not spend my time on here taking up for all
the cops in the world. I am not ashamed of what I do for a living. I was once
your age and had the same attitude towards cops. But after doing this for 10
years, and seeing the stuff I have seen on the streets, all I can tell you is
that until you spend a day in my shoes, putting up with the crap that we do,
don't belittle us.
     Police do alot more than writing tickets and harassing the motoring
public. If the 4 armed robbers had had limo tint on their car the other night
when we caught them, after invading a couples home and beating them with a
shotgun, one of us would not be here today. Atleast we could see in the car,
I.D. the suspects, and arrest them without incident.(That looks like serving and
protecting to me)
    And even though I haven't wrote tickets in the last 7 years, I do remember a
saying........"Driving is a privilage, not a right". No where in all the laws
you so dearly hate does it say that you have the right to drive.
    It's mentalities and attitudes like yours, i.e.see below and calling us
"idiots", that assures me that I will always have job security.

    P.S. That's all I have to say about this. I guess we can both replace our
keyboards now.
