May I suggest you think some about being a little clearer in your writing?
The subject of the last part of your first sentence is the prostitute. Your next sentence makes it seem as if you sent a letter to the prostitute, instead of the wife.
The subject of your last sentence is the deputy’s wife, and you make is sound as if she got taken to the cleaners.
Of course, most of us were able to ‘figure out’ what you really meant. I just thought it odd that as a ‘detective’, you would have such inconsistencies in your grammar.
Maybe you were just in a hurry, or LOL too hard. : )
I would like to point out that other than French Quebec, Canada is populated largely by people who dodged being drafted in WWII, and pretty much every war after.
There are apps you can get that will stream your video directly to the cloud, so even if Officer Dumbass throws your phone into a fire you still have the video. These apps were developed for just these situations.

You haven’t read many police reports have you?...lol (I’ve read thousands)
I wasnt putting together a probable cause affidavit or narrative for incident report. Truth be told I was posting from an IPad on the crapper so it may not have been as well versed as it would in an “official” report...LOL
“Canada is populated largely by people who dodged being drafted in WWII”
Any males of draft age in Canada during WW2 were subject to conscription so I’m not seeing why American draft dodgers in that period would have fled to a jurisdiction where they faced even greater prospects of conscription than they did in the US.
Thanks for your response. Perhaps you are correct.
During WWII avoiding the draft by going to Canada didn’t ‘guarantee’ anything. That doesn’t mean that that many didn’t flee there. It’s not like they couldn’t easily cross the border, unidentified, and avoid not only the US draft but ‘conscription’ by Canada. So far I haven’t found any ‘estimates’ of how many tried to do this, or succeeded.
However, starting with the Civil War, and especially including the Vietnam War, many Americans fled to Canada to avoid the draft.
Thank you for helping me get the info straight.
