[QUOTE="TomT, post: 802218, member: 55397"] The biggest problem most LEO's have is looking at the "intent" of the law. Laws are written by lawyers and are not always real clear. Every officer should look at the "intent" of the law, especially traffic laws. I have always wanted to put together a class for LEO's to teach them this. I had a rookie cop pull me over a week ago for not using my turn signal at a stop sign even though there was absolutely no traffic anywhere around. Now I'm a big proponent of using turn signals but using them when no one is around is like honking your horn when no one is around to hear it. I proceeded to give him a quick lesson in "intent". Of course the reason I was able to do that is because I'm a retired public servant that still holds a master peace officer license and I'm friends with his Chief. Some officers, especially rookies, love being able to intimidate people. They're not to happy when the tables are turned. :D [/QUOTE]
