It is frustrating when you call them for assistance with a serious issue that is clearly within their purview and they are unpleasant and tell you they don't have time for that. That after you see them wandering around the countryside walking up on folks doing normal hunting or fishing things and trying to jam them up on inconsequential things that don't have the potential to hurt someone.

I generally side with the cops but this is some serious gay ass shit.
The fish cop's sobriety test is a piece of shit and he never ever get de pussy. |

If the test is so easy, and the cops are trained on it and done it so often, why does he have to read it off of paper?

I couldn't pass that test sober. I'm horrible at choreography and would hope I could get at least someone who was as bad of a dancer as me on the jury.

If you used the refusal of someone to participate in voluntary, subjective evidence gathering procedures against them then you are not a friend of liberty. |
