no Im aware of the ESF legend but wasnt going to get into a bait and switch...face it 99% of the time people interact with the police its because of a negative situation and have a slanted view of police,police protocol,and laws.......same as everyone thinks that when they get arrested they have to be read their rights(miranda) but you dont and in some cases never did....if you are just asking pedigree info and not interogating you dont have to read them their rights...did it many times for simple drug or weapons possesion where it was based on my observations...no need to
I'm aware about the Miranda thing. Used it in my last case.
I honestly have a 50/50 view of police. I was straight edge all through high school. Nearly joined USMC, n seriously considered being a SD sherrif(my 1st daughters mom was on her way to being a sd hwywaypatroll after she stopped modeling when she got pregnant).. Had my armed-guard card n CCP (&c&R license) when I was felony-arrested in 06. And have my guard-card now (not armed, although for whatever reason none of my felony charges ever show up on background checks here in CA, so I may be able to get a lic) Never had a problem with authority or police. Many of my clients & customers are LE.(made it awkward when I was in jail in Nov/Dec) but I'm well aware of "tactics" or tricks, however you want to call it, that LE uses to initiate contact with potential suspects... contact they know will lead to arrests. Also know how LE flat out lie in reports n on the stand to make supplicant charges stick... Know this from their own mouths.
