I certainly agree that lawmen/women need to be respected. Although when I've gotten tickets, at the time, I wasn't a happy camper, and honestly, when I would reflect, I could see where I was doing wrong (with the exception of one time where I was being profiled.) However, when I think about the kinds of people officers have to deal with day-in-and-day-out, I can't but think that they probably have a good reason for every action they take. I'm being profiled for a reason (because of people who own cars like mine drive like ****s) and although I don't really agree with it, there's a reason. Hey, if I had the power to do something in my community to affect a good change and keep everyone safer I'd be willing to do it. I know I couldn't do the job, so:
