Yeah, sounds like something I would have done also. Temporary fixes, can leave lasting impressions, like the leaning Tower of Pisa, or now the, memory of why a police officer touches a tail light intentionally. A shame there is such a lack of trust any more, but the police need to do what they do to protect themselves and others.

Lack of trust is right. When I was in grad school, the custodian said that his daughter had just become a state trooper. The very first day on the job, the first guy she stopped for speeding pulled a gun on her.
