I'm sorry. I'm sure there are active on-duty LEO's and Judges who welcome constructive criticism and being shown the error of their ways by lay persons. I just never ran into them. In fact, the only time I tried to convince a gaggle of LEO's that I was right got me a ride to the Nashville pokey. That was in September of 1962 and it's kinda' stayed with me.

...betcha you din't have a relevant ordinance to get you out of your situation...
...all joking and sarcasm aside, if we're not willing to stand up to the LEOs and judges who'd charge and convict us when the law says we didn't do anything wrong...we might as well do away with the appeal courts...and courts completely for that matter...if the cop says you did...take your punishment...meekly and quietly, lest you further offend him...I'm just not wired that way...if I did it...I'll take my punishment...if I didn't...they'll have to use the duct tape to shut me up and I'll use every means to prove my innocence...that IS the American way...I stood for it then and I'll stand for it now...
