You're right...however I ask none of this...just that you think and use 
common sence...that is all...no more...no less.  Bottom line is if your the 
only available car at the time, and the cop really needs it, then he's not 
going to wait for you to get your walker out, he's not going to wait to 
listen to your story.  There will be no debate, no argument, you'll just be 
out, and that's it.  You'll have the rest of your life to complain, write 
letters, sue, stomp your feet, cry, get mad or whatever else you 
like......and in the end if you being out on your ass on the ground for a 
while resulted in someone who just murdered a wife or child or whatever being 
caught and arrested, then I'd hope you'd also have the common sence to 
realize that although it may not have been a very comfortable experience for 
you, that it was necessary, and understand why it was necessary....as I'm 
sure the family of the murdered child would understand and be 
appreciative.....unfortunatley though, few people, and obviously yourself 
included, even with the luxury of time to think about it, still can't 
comprehend what possible reason the cop would need to take your car without 
having a half hour debate about it with you first....and that is the reason 
why you get the:  Sigh......!!!!!
