[QUOTE="BryanDP, post: 757940, member: 1111"] It sounds like you just got a good old fashioned "talking to." Don't ask me why, but some law enforcement officers do this. I don't know if it's an actual law enforcement technique or not as I do not have any criminal justice training. I do have a pretty good grasp of common sense, however, and I don't see how it could be helpful. In fact, it really seems harmful to me as it perpetuates the feeling of "them vs. us" and damages the precarious relationship between law enforcement and the general public. Nobody likes being talked to like a child. My feeling has always been, if I did something arrestable or ticketable let's get to it. Otherwise, please treat me as an adult and with the same respect that you require of me. Of course, I tend to be respectful of others even when it hasn't been earned. I do realize, however, that some of my fellow citizens do not take this position in regard to dealing with others. I wouldn't take it personally and certainly don't lose faith in law enforcement over it. As in any profession, there will be those that are burned out, have a grumpy day or just plain jerks. Sounds like you might have bumped into one such employee. Most of all, enjoy exercising your God-given right to protect yourself. Bryan [/QUOTE]
