Gradually the police educate themselves, so I’m hoping things will be better in a few years, instead of worse. Which direction they go depends on the citizenry holding them to task.
Hoping for the best . . .

Once agian boyton beach police get away with making something from nothing. That department is nothing but a legal gang. They are no differant than the real criminals. good luck tring to fight the system. Yes there are good police officers and they need to stand up to the bad ones. A bad police officer’s need to be weeded out and FDLE needs to do there job and watch the police.

There’s an old saying that says, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” That saying should be updated for the 21st century, “The camera is mightier than the gun.”

How do these low-life scum get to become judges? The US justice system is a disgrace to your constitution.

Hey John: Your advocacy for respectful behavior is really potent.

If you were in uniform, acting this way, you’ve very strongly made your point re: our obligations to respond with equal respect.

Congrats, John. You have gone all the way to nothing but insults. I just started reading this post today … and you have made it clear that your opinions are of no value to me.

If your purpose was to persuade people towards your viewpoint you have failed.

If your purpose was to anger people, and give them even more reasons to limit the power of police officers, you have succeeded.

Joel,

I never should have mentioned your bearded lady mom. I’m sure that fact is painful and it is something you had no control over. Don’t blame yourself. I’m sorry I mentioned it.

So John’s bottom line appears to be that we should be respectful in our dealings with people who question us about our photography.

But he can’t handle behaving the same way on a blog.

Have fun in the sandbox.

Jones,

Apparently they think they can lie to their superiors and to the judges as well.

Undercover work, investigations… sure… they have to in order to get to the truth.
