First of all I would like to thank you for the reply.<br><br>What I think a part of the problem is, is the fact that there is ego involved with being in law enforcement from the get go....<br><br>ideas that have to do with helping humanity get confused with the ego as well in the begining.... I have had LE friends in the past. They are still friends just not in LE now. They to became jaded with the humanity the sought to help and protect.<br><br>my case was some 7 years past now... I remember it like yesterday because of 2 reasons. 1 my adoring best friend (my wife) was treated lesser than a common [censored] by the DA. Any other man in any other setting than a court room lobby would have suffered my hand, and willingly I would have paid the legal price. 2 I kept my own records written, photographic, and a weather report that was not sealed, and not allowed. All my photographs were allowed, as they were taken by me, but developed by the local grocery store...... (I had no way to alter them) but the DA did try.... he also lied about the color of my truck..... go figure? But I brought the very same truck to all hearings....<br><br>The single photo of which I speak only proved my need to shave...... I considered it a gift to the judge of no value...<br>I question where it might be, thats all..... Would it be illegal for the judge to take that 1 photo home? I was in the common dress of a warrior from the Ohio Valley in the year 1758 complete with paint.<br><br>truely this was a small matter, but it was a big deal to me. I might have been convicted! And if it had been a felony, that would have done in my life long love for guns.... I have had my own guns since I was 6 years old.<br><br>My feelings on that are what end up in double jepardy... in other words should I become a felon for unjust reasons, or become a criminal just because I own guns. I will forget about society complete, and continue to aquire guns, and use them, but be prehaps a bit more dangerous...if you get my meaning...<br><br>During a divorce I was broke monitarily for 10 years. I lived in a tee pee for 3 of them.... I saw more cheating lawyers then than you could shake a stick at.... the worst died after he was slapped on the wrist due to my turning him in to the proffesional conduct committee...... right after.....<br><br>I avoid police....... and I avoid problems as best I can.... I don't look for trouble.... But I have little trust these days... I wish it was different...... I find anytime police become involved things tend to happen more than I like... sort of a factor of 3.... must be Murphy's Law kicking in......... thxs again for the chat.... I await your reply...... if it is forth coming....... Mac
