Yeah, right !!!
All sarcasm aside... that is exactly right. You can roll your eyes all you want. If you are on the right side of the law, he has no power. I have a shitload of power in my job as a federal employee (I can tell Air Force One to go Phuck himself if I need to), and I use it when I have to. Conversely, I also get all over my fellow employees when they abuse that power. I am constantly saying "Dude, you DO NOT have the authority to tell that pilot to do that". You are GOD when you have to be, but you are also a public servant. ALWAYS remember that.
The FBI, Sherrif's dept., police, customs, etc. need my permission, every day, to do their job in MY airspace. Just like the trainman in the Matrix... in my airspace, you're nothing, here, I AM GOD. Arrogance is a good thing, when it's used appropriately.
As I have written on this and many other boards, many other times before...
I post on what I know about, and I listen on the many threads I do not post on. On those threads, I keep my freakin' cake hole shut.
I know what I'm talking about here. You should listen.

Pretty funny. I don't care HOW much power YOU have. So now you know how police EVERYWHERE act under EVERY circumstance ? Man you DO get around, don't you ?
I've lived in NYC ALL my life, known a number of cops personally and they know how to hurt you without leaving a mark.
And the old "resisting arrest" ? Ya never heard of that one ?
Ever heard of Rodney King ? Of course you have but the only reason you have is because there was a camera around when the cops didn't know it. If you don't think that kind of shit (mostly to a lesser degree of course) along with arresting people on trumped up charges JUST BECAUSE they pissed a cop off then you're living in Fantasyland.
And one of the reasons there are fewer(?) incidents of this kind is because the cops know the cameras are "EVERYWHERE".
And to think I DEFEND Federal type employees - maybe you guys really DON'T know what's going on in your own country.
