Ya know, that sounds more like Grand Theft Auto than simple forgery.

Default Don't even get me started on law enforcement

I've had my share of experiences, both good and bad. There are cops that I like, that don't have what I consider to be a "god-complex", and there are cops that are lazy, and those that are just incompetent.

Don't get me wrong - all cops start out on my good side. Some of them just jump to the bad side. I had a hit and run while driving on the freeway in June - and the cops didn't do ANYTHING. I gave them a plate number and a company name. For five months, all I got was a "we can't find the truck."

When I threatened to sick a dirty lawyer on them to recoupe my losses (deductibles and rises in insurance rates, etc), it took them 2 HOURS to track the guy down.

And then there was the time that....

(I'd better stop, now - just need to vent once in a while).
