Al Southner, that thought did cross my mind, and although he and I are no longer friends, I chose to seek his assistance by getting the appropriate ticket # and docket # instead. Hindsight is 20-20 and he has apologized profusely for what can only be described as a terrible judgement call on both our parts.....he was new to the force back in 2002 and still quite unaware of how to behave in a uniform. I don't necessarily want to jeopardize his career because the intent wasn't necessarily meant to be malicious......it's just created a couple of road blocks for me in the interim
