Did a pickup yesterday... young lady, crackin' and the indemnitor wanted off the bond... no stable replacement and she had been late for court bringing another charge... 'contempt' ... down on her so I decided to revoke. I am very reluctant to pull bonds but sometimes they need to be pulled....
anyway...
I called local sheriff department and told them what I was about to do... it was in a local trailer park that had a bad rep... anyway, the local boys showed up... checked my capias for legality... told me to go ahead... stood behind me at the door... she came out... saw me and the "boys"... her boyfriend was not happy but did not present a problem... we left, I took her to the local jail... magistrate and jailer served her... bye, bye...
My take on this entire business... although some AO may differ... is that if you present yourself in a professional manner, talk calmly and intelligently and do not........ I repeat....... do not tell LE how to do their job... ask respectfully, their input and in 99% of the cases I have worked......... regardless of the state... you will be received well and you will very likely get the job done...
I must say that my opinion on dress is to not look like Rambo or SWAT... I dress very low key... although I may be carrying.. it is concealed and I want to appear very , very easy and not at all confrontational... that is of course my opinion only...
Get all your ducks in a row... paperwork and contact info on the perp... and as mentioned, act accordingly... and "get R done"...
(I did not have on my tactical sandals... it was 28 degrees... I had on 'New Balance; tennis shoes... and white socks... as any upstanding red neck should wear...)... but yes, I did have my little SP101 in my belt, under my coat... but I'm glad I did not have to pull it... it would have taken me 10 minutes to get through my coat, shirt, long underwear, depends, tactical belt, t shirt, zip wallet, girdle, cell phone holder, computer carry pack... and the baloney sandwich with cheese and mustard that my wife always packs me... I carry that over the gun too, if I have to shoot someone, I do not want to do it on an empty stomach...............................
You didn't think I was gonna post something without a bit of..................... humor?
There is a message here,,,,, however.
