As far as the lack of respect for law enforcement, the few bad ones and the government's unwillingness to deal with
them combined with the contemptuous attitude many of them have for the public I feel they get what they deserve and
much more. Take for instance the Tennessee Highway patrolman who wrote me a speeding ticket and proceeded to change
the appearance date on the ticket he turned into the court. Okay I was speeding but changing or altering documents
and representing them to the court as authentic is a felony, he should still be in jail not living on a fat pension.

When in the Air Force I dealt with a lot of attitude from the Sky cops. In more than one organization I had to deal
with cops writing OI's that screwed with my ability to perform my duties. For those not familiar with military
procedure an OI is an Operating Instruction, however the basic legal concept for an OI is a commander can issue or
approve an OI but it can only apply to those members and contractors under their authority. If their is a need for a
procedure that effects those under different organizations regulation must be written and approved, the difference
being that the regulation is reviewed by those that it will effect before implementation and published so that those
it effects are aware of it. While at Sawyer we had issues with the Sky cops that seemed almost retaliatory. As the
Munitions Maintenance Squadron we where the control point for ammunition, they weren't particularity competent about
managing their ammunition supply point (or anything else) and when they screwed up I'd make them turn in the
ammunition they lost lot number identity on so it could be destroyed, they got real tired of losing 1/2 to a 1/3 of
their yearly training ammunition and tried to take it out on us.

In one instance a LE troop decided he was going to ticket every officer in our squadron except for one. My commander
asked that the Airman get his flight chief down there and suggested he make some phone calls before he wrote the
tickets, his response was not that professional and did cross the line as a threat. In reality there was no basis for
us getting ticketed, our vehicles were legally parked in accordance with base regulations, if fact what happened was
the Sky Cops didn't properly write down that we were having a party at Lt Dan's quarters, that they had been
notified, and parking on the street was authorized for the evening.

A lot of the Police's attitude comes from the closing of ranks and their members not being held accountable. An
Instance again at Sawyer, I was a single Company Grade Officer, Quarters for unaccompanied Company grade officers
were not available when I signed in (BOQ was being remodeled). I purchased a mobile home and put it in the base
trailer park. It was set up so 4 trailers shared parking and everyone was allowed 2 spaces. I'm single and live
alone. A big snow storm rolls in, I'm out there shoveling snow, the two enlisted EOD troops next door are shoveling,
the lot next to me is empty. The sky cop on the other side and his hospital assigned girl friend...no where to be
found. The Lt, SSGt and SRA shovel off 4 parking places. The Lt (Me) comes home for lunch the next day not to have a
parking space, seems the Cop and his lady friend decided to take up 3 spaces, the SSGt is home for lunch and I don't
have a parking space. I complain to the LE desk, of course I get stopped several times during the next week (21 MPH
in a 20 MPH zone and other serious infractions).
