Bureaucratic Headaches
I hate dealing with our Equipment Department. It is run by a bunch of civilian bean counters who have no interest in making my job easier.

The Street Racer – Part 1 – His ‘Get Away’
Several years ago while working in a plainclothes general patrol capacity, my partner and I came up behind three motorcycles and one bright blue Corvette lined up at a red light. It was obvious the motorcycles were not with the Corvette as the riders were checking out the sports car with some admiration.
