Great video but unfortunately this is probably a "preaching to the choir" situation. The ones that need to hear the message the most simply won't listen. Most people (including myself up to about 4 years ago) are programmed to believe that legal/illegal and moral/immoral are one in the same.

That's just what this country doesn't need... toddlers peeing in parking lots.

The horror...

But since you didn't ask...years ago, I'm working the Interstate. Back before the days of the CHAMP units, we carried floor jacks and 4-way wrenches, and would help change tires for stranded motorists. So I'm running the north end, and I see a sedan on the shoulder with it's flashers on. I pull over, hit my lights, call in the motorist assist, and get out to help.

But they're not in need of any assistance. At least not mine. Young couple, with a 3 (or so) year old curtain climber who's smack in the middle of potty training. Junior had to take a dump, so they pull over, break out the porta-potty, and there he sits (on the shoulder side of the vehicle), taking a dump and watching the world go by. Priceless.

Never occurred to me to write a ticket (and for what?)...I was too busy laughing.

I'm out there, Ras...

Look, you know this isn't a personal attack... this is a generalized attack on the profession. There are exceptions to the rule. But in general, most civilians simply see cops in general as ticket writers.

We're good. We already agreed on that. I'd drink a beer with you any day, anywhere.

Maybe sometimes I like to flip the script and pull your chain, huh?

:cool:
