What jurisdiction? It’s interesting how my attitude toward the cops has changed over the years. I was brought up to respect authority and with the idea that a cop was always right and they were there to “protect and serve”. With the passing years, I now know how corrupt and inept many police are. They are a necessary evil, at best. The thing is, they really can’t protect us except in the sense of deterence by solving crime after it occurs. But when you try to protect yourself (in a state like NY) “they” make it very difficult.
Sounds like you got boned. The burnout was immature and uncalled for, but the way you were treated and punished is just wrong.
