To the fan I had arrested today...

I don't have any problem responding to calls on criminal trespass. People amaze me, however, when they get arrested for it. (It's a misdemeanor, by the way, here in Alabama.) There is a lot of spouting about their Constitutional rights (especially when they are wrong), much inquiry about my badge number, and a lot of other nonsense as I wrap them up, put them in the back of my car, and take them for a five hour stay at the County Hilton. <br /> <br />Haven't had anyone sign complaints yet for RR trespass- wish someone would, there are some neat locomotives I want pictures of... but I can hope. <br /> <br />People who do criminal things are stupid, retarded, and nearly every intelligence slam I can think of. They have to be... otherwise this pore ol Southern depty would have to out think them, and I am too old to waste the effort to catch the ENRON crooks when there are so many ordinary run of the mill dumkopfs out there for me to choose from. <br /> <br />I am reminded of a weekend I spent on private property (a clay quarry) where there were gates, a million "No Trespassing" signs, and it was right next door to a dirt racing track. Over 10,000 people attended the races that weekend... and 14 of them got busted in the quarry for criminal trespass on their four wheelers. One decided to try and escape by attempting to run me over with his four wheeler... and is still in jail, nine months later. <br /> <br />The average person does have a survival instinct and a desire to obey the law. Your average idiot criminal does not. (Sometimes he can't read, either, which makes the "No Trespassing" signs moot.) Witness the idiot who, in my county, tried to steal copper wire from a substation. He jumped a concertina'd fence, climbed a tower and used a pair of metal bolt cutters to get his copper wire. Rescue workers had to climb 20 feet to get the body down... <br /> <br />Keep calling the cops, Ed. The life you saved might be your own conscience. <br /> <br />Erik
