I personally don't approve of special priviliges for anyone either, my point in including this information is that in knowing that he is trained to use a firearm and is a lawman he would be subject to more strict ruling in the event a law was broken, thereby making him less likely to break a law. Additionally he is more likely to know how to safely supervise my shooting. I don't expect special treatment I just espect fair treatment.

Sir you'll be surprised at the special previledges relatives of police get. It's a common knowledge and practice that if a police pulls over a motorist for whatever the violation, the motorist produces a relation to a police (local would be great), he would be let go. Very often drunk drivers were allowed to leave the scene without any further repercussions.

I don't agree with that either.

If for instance I am pulled over on foot and am just being generally harassed (as is commonplace in New York for teenagers) with no reasonable suspicion of laws being broken I shouldn't have to prove that I am related to a police officer, yet I do. As a teenager it is in some ways a necessity to be related to an officer to receive fair treatment from the police.

Don't mistake my disgust with the state of things to be teenage angst directed towards authority, I want to become a federal law enforcement officer myself, but I really do not appreciate being harassed to no end by police officers for no plausible reason. When I am searched I am very forward and tell the officer to search me if necessary because I would like to resolve this as quick as possible, them then cursing at me, treating me like I have broken the law and elongating the process as much as possible is very unnecessary. I have had an officer (who was very obviously under the influence of drugs) point his service revolver at me and others when no obvious danger to him was present. I am disgusted that I have to be related to an officer to be treated like a human being, but that is the state of affairs and I accept it.

omon

very true,
