[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1878897, member: 1242"] And how exactly are they to ascertain that without making contact? You want to TELL the police how to do their job. You want them to give you a pass just because you are you and they should somehow know that you are not a threat to anyone or up to no good. I, sir, am sick to death of seeing posts EVERYWHERE essentially stating that "I am SO SPECIAL that I should be given a pass to do what I want, where I want, when I want and nobody should EVER QUESTION me because I am SPECIAL and should not be bothered to worry about how I affect those around me." Good grief, it's not like I've ever said the police are the only folks you need to be "polite" to. All I've ever said is that respect towards others makes it a lot easier to educate and inform. Scare tactics and attempts at bullying never work. They simply cause people to dig in and not consider other possibilities. Polite makes your day a whole lot easier to get through most times. Being a ********* makes your day a whole lot harder to get through most times. But then, I have no point to prove so I don't need to "cowboy up" as they say ... At least not until the time that someone is NOT polite to ME ... ;) [/QUOTE]
