I had a long response, but by the time it was done my fingers hurt and I drifted the thread far enough South you could see Argentina.
I'll give you the short version, we both know officers who try to enforce the law they way they think it should be, not the way it is. That's where all of the horror stories everyone reads about come from. My knee jerks from that...maybe at you, especially at Faulkner's "high and mighty" people who expect their rights. You are probably getting grief you don't deserve from me due to that.
Officers don't know better than the law, don't just "know" who's guilty and our opinions should never affect the way we do our job. You may even agree with all that. You may be a guy who's opinion does not influence the job at all, I don't know you.
So forgive me my soapbox, to quote a decent movie, "here endeth the lesson."
What do I know? At the end of the day, I tried to fairly enforce the law, not let my biases affect the job and go home every night, anything else was to wearing and political for me, guess that's why I'm not a Chief or Sheriff somewhere.
