It has almost gained Cliché status, the fact that most people don't like Law Enforcement, I am not most people so don't get me wrong... I love Law Enforcement.
In fact, apart from the fact that I have tried getting into the Service, I am from a Law Enforcement Family with three of my nuclear family members actively in Service and one retired.
I know my family members, not to sound righteous or anything hunt we have a certain consciousness of good and evil that has guided us all our lives, so yeah, apart from the fact that I have conversations now and then with my family members in the Service, I know them intricately to know there are lines of wrongdoing they won't cross.
But the truth is, the Law in Law Enforcement is Broken.
We all know that Law Enforcement Agents are signed up to maintain peace and order, to keep the law... But then again, they say, to catch a thief, you have got to "be" a thief yourself or so... So I guess some elements in the force took the saying a little too personal and too far.
These men know the Law, there is no gain saying that, it is on their fingertips, they were taught these things in the academy and oh, for the ones, they didn't quite grab there, they hear Lawyers quote them all the time to get either bail or release of clients when they go by the station... So when they hear people shout, "I know my rights" they laugh... Because they know those rights of yours too, they just don't care, because the Law in Law Enforcement is broken and now there is nothing to stop the lawlessness, the impunity with which they deal with citizens.
The Law in Law Enforcement is broken and no one can mend it, not even the Judiciary, because even they are complicit, but that is a story for another day.
Just know that when a Law Enforcement Agent contravenes the law in dealing with you, he doesn't do so because he doesn't know the law, he does it most tines because he knows no one will come to your rescue, not when the Law is Broken everywhere.
