I have to say, I have the utmost respect for Police. I get "harassed" as
much as anyone else, but I take it in stride because I am 21, look young,
dress like a "typical college punk", drive a loud truck, and hang out in
bars late at night, and have earings and facial hair and tattoos. My
appearance may or may not be the reason, but if I were a cop at 1AM and
pulled over a group of guys that just left a bar and I couldn't see into
the car, I'd be worried too...
Cops do some pretty shitty things everyday because it's their job. They
HAVE to....
If I get a ticket for doin' something illegal, I deserve it because what
I did was illegal. I don't argue, I don't complain (well, okay, I do
complain) I'd rather have cops "harassing" people and keepin' out of my
house steelin' my stuff...
