So do to one asshole, I cannot say that I now hate all jet ski's.
Keeping this in mind ...
when writing this..
It's amazing how many times I got pulled over to " check the license and registration ". One time, we were riding in a group (cops love to stop the group) cop pulled us over and didn't run my stuff. Said he knew my bike. How's that for profiling, when you get pulled over and they know your clean cuz they stopped your ass 6 days ago.
Don't judge all law-enforcement by a few jerks; what you describe is/was good police work.
BTW, been riding motorcycle for 30+ years; seen a lot; even had a cop pull gun on me once; 3:30am in an alley; I got off, opened my seat, heard FREEZE, looked to see him behind his car door with gun pointed at me.
I was getting my wallet which I kept under the seat; he had no idea what I was going for; I would've done the same thing; we ended with a laugh and NO ticket. Besides, I was packing at the time (legally) but that never came up.
