tyee, Don't get me wrong because I do appreciate what you do. I have never in 53 years met a bad cop. I've always treated them with respect and have received the same from them. I respect them(you) because they have a hard job and put your life on the line at any givin time. Maybe I've been lucky but the ones that I've met where out to protect and serve not harass citizens. NOTE: arresting somebody with 5 warrants and 17 pounds of pot is not considered "harassing citizens" in my book.

If you pulled me over and I had 17 pounds of pot in the bed of my truck, I would expect nothing less but a free ride in a cop car warrants or not. Now if I was sitting on a rock next to my tent looking at the river at sunset smoking a joint and while your on duty you walk up behind me. Would you arrest me?
