[QUOTE="ifarm26, post: 1199226, member: 9230"] I work in law enforcement as my "off farm job" and lots of folks never see the good side of what is done by law enforcement. If the "media," and I put about as much faith in them as I do a rabid skunk, would shed light on the good and not the bad, we probably would not be seeing all of this. Also I was taught from a young age if you have not done anything wrong and someone with authority asks you to do something be nice and do it. Show respect get respect. Since these incidents have happened I have seen a shift in the perception of young people that they can do what they want and law enforcement can't do a thing about it. Disrespect is becoming the norm. And for the comment above, where the cop had no right to ask for your identification, well you are sitting behind the wheel of a motor vehicle at 10:45 on the shoulder or right of way of a public street, then yes you must be a licensed driver and you must in my state produce a license to confirm that. Just as if you go through a license check, I can ask to see your license because you are on a public street or highway. By the way I have found two alzheimers or dementia patients that have gotten behind the wheel and not known how to get back home simply by stopping behind a car at night on the side of the road. I got no media attention for returning them safely! Imagine that! Most law enforcement officers do have the good of society in mind. There are bad eggs in every job that involves interaction with the public. [/QUOTE]
