Good cops do exist. Here’s my story. I hit a deer, it was still alive. A fellow motorist phoned the cops, asked what to do. The cop said shoot the deer and have the driver report back to the station.
I hauled out my 40 caliber and wasted the deer on a US Highway.
I reported to the station. The cop met me at the door and wanted my drivers license and registration. The license was in my wallet in a cardboard box on the passenger seat. I asked him to shine his flashlight in there so I could find it.
As I rummaged through this box, my loaded 40 caliber along with a loaded 357 were really obvious.
The cop just did not care about the guns.
This happened in western ND in 2007. Had this happened in the NE states I’d still be in jail.
I may be biased, but the ND Highway Patrol and some of the Sheriff's Departments have some of the most professional (and helpful) police officers I have seen.
