fishguru,
Your comment here almost choked me. I have to agree with the thought that some officers can get a little heavy handed at times but let's look at it from their side for a moment. It's their job to enforce the law and for what they get paid I sure as he-- wouldn't do it nowadays. I'd be willing to bet that at least one person in ten that they deal with throws them an attitude and dishes shi- to them. (If any officers will do so, please correct me if I'm wrong) After so many encounters of that type is is any wonder they get callous?
Maybe I grew up in a different time but I was taught to respect law officers because they were on my side if I ever needed them. I can also remember when dishing shi- to an officer could get you a rap on the head with a lead BB filled spring handle sap for an attitude adjustment. I'm not totally sure the bleeding heart liberals that got that put to a stop did us law abiding citizens a favor.
If a DWR officer checks your license, they are doing their job. If a police officer pulls you over, they almost certainly have a reason. Grow up & take responsibility for your actions.
