Bill,
You don't need to apologize to anyone in this state. I just read in the paper this morning that they are considering turning loose many of the violent criminals they have in prison now as that will save the state $400 million. What crap, when they are $14 Billion in the hole. Same in this are with the seat belt tickets. They have some plain white Cameros and Fords that the CHP uses and they will stop anyone they can't see a seat belt on while traffic whizzes by at 80 MPH. I got stopped in my 1965 Comet once because I didn't have a shoulder belt. I told the dam idiot that they never had them in that car in 1965 and I wasn't going to accept a ticket, he could arrest me and we would take it to court. He had to go radio in and find out if the 1965 Comet came with shoulder belts AND AIR BAGS. Also in this area the police will not come to a house that is being broken into even if you call while it is happening. Standard reply is, We don't have anyone available, send in a written report. Right, it kind of hard to write a report while a person is being beaten to death. We have one good thing here. Our past two Sheriffs have been big gun advocates and if a person can pass the tests they can get a CCP easy. I have had one for as long as I can remember and with the dopers in this area becoming more and more of a threat to all people, I will continue to carry. I don't like it, but I won't be beaten by these dam dopers because I happen to walk down the street and see them selling their crap.
Another example of law enforcement right here where I live. Four weeks ago an illegal from Mexico who has been arrested and deported twice already backed over a 3 year old and killed her. He got 4 months in jail and the dam Rights Advocates are raising cain about them sending him to jail at all. Two months ago a teen ager who was speeding, had no prior record, and was well liked, got 5 years in jail because he tried to evade the police.
