    As well as I... A long time ago, my car kept stalling out, and what I later
    found out was an un-marked cop car behind me nearly rear-ended me so I
    speeded up to avoid being hit... I got a ticket for speeding, the
    unmarked cop car got nothing... (imagine that...)

   I also had almost got in a wreck on the 4th of July in Lake Charles when
   a city cop ignored the red-light he had and I made the mistake of going
   on a green-light... The cop nearly hit me head-on.... Rest assured, had
   I not stopped in time, I would have gotten a ticket, despite having a
   green light... In fact, it's the reason I refuse to celebrate any
   holidays at any public events...  It's one thing to have to deal with the
   drunks hitting you and the young kids showing off.... But damn it when the
   cops are attacking your car, I down right refuse to attend any public 
   event and have voiced my opinion on the local news station quite often.
   Until the people can vote out the crooked politicians, judges and chief
   of police, etc. things will not change.  Unfortiantly, there's too many
   druggies, drunks, ex-criminals, etc. that like the current staff of
   police, judges, mayors, etc.  After all, why wouldn't they like them...
   they don't do anything to them.... It's the folks that CAN pass a drug
   test that has to worry....
