Let's get something straight from the beginning. I totally support all legitimate law enforcement organizations! This includes city police, sherrif's deputies, national crime fighting organizations like the FBI and CIA, even mall cops. These folks lay their lives on the line for us every day and deserve our utmost cooperation and respect. However, there is group of police that DO NOT fit this description.......your friendly local, Louisiana State Trooper! This bunch epitomizes the phrase "power trip." Their egos are huge and they think that they are God's gift to law enforcement. However, they lack the basic skills to do "real" law enforecement that the aforementioned groups do on a daily basis. They do the easy, cushy part of police work. They sit in their cruisers and "harvest" unsuspecting victims with the most vile, evil piece of machinery ever invented.....the radar gun. This tactic leaves much to be desired, as it has zero impact on people's driving habits. It only fleeces the wallets of the driving public in a random fashion. They will pass over the real criminals on the highways, people tailgating, driving agressively, hogging the left lane, to pick off the easy prey, folks driving at a reasonable speed on roads with artificially low speed limits. It is an old practice and it is shameful. The arrogance of these guys is unbelievable! If you have ever been pulled over, you know what I mean. They get out of their cruisers writing your ticket. They don't even try to establish a dialogue with the motoring public. They are infallable in their minds and how dare you think that you will talk your way out of a ticket.

So, if you are a Louisiana State Trooper and are reading this, consider yourself as having been issued a citiation by me! Now you see how we feel! You were just minding your own business, surfing the internet and BAMMMMM! Imagine blue lights behind you. I am serious! You have a moral obligation to the public to repent for your actions! You have certainly issued speeding tickets to people when you could have simply given them a warning. As I don't want this to seem that I am trying to benefit personally from this, you shall make a donation in my name in the amount of $50.00 to a non-profit organization from the following list:

SP Historical & Technical Society

Louisiana Steam Train Association

Crescent City Model Railroad Club

If you wish, you can plead your case with the judge, jury and executioner - ME! However, don't catch me on a bad day, because you may end up in the pokey, and the food there is not good. Now, get back to work and get off of my ASS!
