Report Inappropriate Comments

So Mrs. Machado help me to understand this a little better - You're saying that you spoke w/the actual arresting officer who apparently told you something completely contrary to what I've been saying this entire comment thread (which I think anyone would find hard to believe that he told you that), yet you're accusing me of being that same cop? That makes no sense. Does that mean everyone on this comment thread who actually agreed w/me are the same cop as well?

And sorry to say but the fact that your son didn't care to be pulled over after a long night of work doesn't give him the right to be uncooperative. You name me anyone who cares to be pulled over at ANY time of day or night regardless of where they were coming from. Yeah driving home from work isn't illegal and I'm pretty certain he wasn't pulled over because he worked all night so yeah at least you're correct in that regard. You've given the reasons he shouldn't be pulled over - Feel free to enlighten us as to why he was pulled over. The actual reason, not your perception of the reason.

And as a side note, I have a kid who's been pulled over before late at night after "a long night at work". He complied fully and w/out attitutde because he had nothing to hide, did nothing wrong, and wanted to cooperate. By the way, that tends to be the quickest and easiest way to get back to going home, unless you're guilty of something. He was subsequently released w/out incident. Now every time they see his vehicle they know there's a decent respectful kid behind the wheel of his car, and not some uncooperative punk who wants to disrespect them and make their job difficult. Maybe you should worry about your kid's lack of cooperation w/police instead of making excuses for his actions.
