Cops Don't Like Tickets Either... (courtesy of Tam)
Tam from the
View from the Porch blogged this and I'm picking it up. Seems some cops think they are above the law and
post on a PUBLIC FORUM about it. Amazingly, they think their families are exempt and give them a little card to ID them as cop family members.
I'm against that. Everybody gets treated the same, not just the
hoi polloi. I don't think it is digressing much to say that I don't like this idea cops (at least some) have that everyone else is a civilian. Cops are
civilians, too. If they aren't then we live under
martial law. That, friends, is the opposite of the intent of this country.
Anyway, one of those instances happened right here in Augusta County, Virginia. We are proud of our Deputies and Troopers. They are consistently well mannered, helpful and honest. Apparently one can't say the same for New Jersey and New York. Another reason I'm glad my family has left there.
