I think comments like that pretty much say it all - no respect towards an authority figure. I think I'm a pretty easy going guy. For the most part at least. Perhaps that's where the difference is between Dak and I. If I'm doing something wrong, I'm probably just going to admit it, laugh it off, face the consequences. Whether it's a ticket, a failing grade in class, or whatever else I'm punished with. Iit's my own fault; I know the rules - sometimes I choose to ignore them, and when I get caught, it's my problem, and my fault.
Something I read that kind of made me decide to start owning up to my problems, was in Dale Carnegie's book. When questioned about their actions, both Adolf Hitler and Al Capone said they were doing right; "sticking up for humanity." Most of us that are civilized know that's not at all true. |
I was doing wrong but the Cop was doing wrong as well. He was out of his jurisdiction and had no reason to pull me over. If it were a Deputy or a State Trooper I would have complained, but at least they would have been in their jurisdiction.
As for the other two comments, I don't know about your country but here in America we have rights. When those rights are violated it tends to piss me off. My ancestors fought and died so we don't have to be harassed like this.
