Your civil rights aren't worth squat in Lafayette. Include the courts and city council in this indictment.

Where else can the police give someone $60,000 worth of your property and tell you to "go fish"?

Li'l sister got married last summer. Her hubby's family is cops. Got to hang with the boys (The Boys, even) during the bachelor party, and both genders during the ceremony/reception week (both familys know how to do a party). Great people; lots of fun. This summer we basically got the same group together as last summer's wedding group for Pop's 70th B-day. Brother #2 finally mustered the energy to ask (and this was the key question burning a hole though all our minds): "What do you guys think of Reno 911?" They busted a gut laughing, and we all relased sighs of relief. They're even better than great.

A way a cop could get my respect: state in public that this isn't necessary, and that they have no greater right to be free from rudeness than any other citizen.

Chances of that happening: small.

Chances of cops using this to retaliate against people who fail to RESPECT THEIR AUTHORITAH: high.

There are little, little people of all sizes.

The best piece of advice my father ever gave me is whenever stopped by the law, for traffic violations or any other reason (and yes, I've spent a couple of nights in the Grey Bar Hotel on charges involving illicit substances), the proper response is ALWAYS "Yes, Sir. No, Sir. Anything you say, Sir." In my first meeting with my attorney in San Francisco after one such incident, I mentioned that the cop who arrested me never Mirandized me, and asked if he could get the case thrown out on that basis. My attorney, who I later learned was a legendary figure in substance abuse cases, having represented all the major Haight music figures in the 60's (although I didn't know that at the time) just laughed and said that I watched too much TV. "The judge is going to ask this guy if her read you your rights", he went on, "and like most cops he is going to lie his ass off and say of course he did. Who do you think the judge will believe, one of SF's finest? or a degenerate dope fiend like you?" The guy was good, though. He got the charge reduced to public intoxication, I plead nolo, and was sentenced to time served.

What about those of us who have been subjected to "very abusive language" from the cops themselves?

Can I make a citizen's arrest of the cop?
