I talked to a nice policeman today, too. He pulled me over as I rushed back after lunch to get to a hearing. He walked up to my car and said "I know you!" He used to be on the drug task force and was involved in a lot of my federal cases then (they rotate the task force positions)
I told him I was late to court and he said "Ok, I was only going to write a warning, but I'll skip it if you're late to court. Just don't speed, there are a lot of officers out right now and you may run into one who doesn't like you" I appreciated the warning
