Civilians making sure that the checks and balances are in place to keep LEO in check are valid discussions. I believe that many LEO on this forum welcome such discussions because they are willing to trade some convenience on the job for our, and by default their freedoms and liberties. Those LEO will see no disrespect in the discussion. Paraphrasing you (not putting words into your mouth), there is a huge distance between checks and balances and then disrespect. The discussion is about a balancing act between liberties and safety.Scott in Houston wrote:I'm not sure where you are getting that there's no respect...all the posts I've read have been respectful and polite.
