Including most cops. If Kelso (from That 70's Show) can become a cop. Any bozo can.<BR/><BR/>Maybe justifing it as a "rare neurological disorder, called neurofibromatosis" is enough??<BR/><BR/>Let's face it, most ppl (idiot or not) have never heard of this disease, let alone even pronounce it or know what it takes away.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't excuse the idiot cop from properly identifying himself. That is illegal. Probably a rookie hired to meet the holiday booze crunch.<BR/><BR/>Carry your lawyer's or Doctor's business card.<BR/><BR/>Using a cane or walking stick in public, even though may be useless, I find to be a visual help.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, might want to file a formal compliant against that dept. Probably nothing will happen. But for a sense of closure.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>RobertoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10853043.post-1165989582807511592006-12-12T21:59:00.000-08:002006-12-12T21:59:00.000-08:00It is thoroughly disheartening to read of your hig...It is thoroughly disheartening to read of your high being squashed, and how upsetting the situation ended up being.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you vented and hope you've recovered. The major wrong, to me, even beyond his failing to communicate effectively, was in the officer not producing identification (beyond his "uniform"), and having stolen your keys without probable cause beyond hearsay.<BR/><BR/>From your description, I can imagine how draining and defeating the series of events felt at the time. I had a few similar experiences many years ago, though in different contexts. I am one to laugh at myself for my side-stepping and weaving, and falsely claiming drunkeness, that I would not expect myself to take any accusation of my driving drunk seriously. But it's totally different when you are in a zone of doing something that's rather routine, and then get interrupted unexpectedly. Our brains work on overdrive trying to make sense of everything, and react effectively. I am glad you made it home safely.<BR/><BR/>You will be prepared if it happens again, and I'm sure you gave others a chance to prepare, too. Kind of like a fire drill, of sorts.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad your buddies were there to shower you with love at the end of the day!<BR/><BR/>No one can deny us our dignity. It is something we generate from within. We have the power to define, as much as anyone else.<BR/><BR/>It helps to remember others have bad days, too. There are officers who would be chastised for not checking out what appeared to be an intoxicated driver. They should be trained to deal with all sorts of people, yes, but usually it's experience that is the strongest teacher. So keep your teaching skills polished, Beck, because there's still a lot of progress to be made.<BR/><BR/>(((( Beck ))))))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
