I do not like my integrety attached to anybodys actions.
There are laws in place to protect from witness tampering. What repercussions could there be? If the allegation is true they will be gone and not able to bother anyone.
Why would you be afraid to attach your name to a complaint if it was true? We cant stick our head in the sand everytime someone does something because we are scared. All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to say/do nothing about it.
rwj, when you get POSITION of power most will get big heads.
i know, I WAS THERE.........its hard to bring people back to earth unless they have been involved with people/things etc and are allowed to be FAIR etc.
i see it with some fireman. they will pull you out of car and throw you on ground, if they could when badge is put on chest.
out of 10 you will have 1 that thinks he is FINALLY SOMEONE.
sadly when they are knocked down notch, reality sets in.being scared today is normal thing to be.
from my experience it does very little to COMPLAIN or file complaint.
i had fish warden that was mad at me because i did show up when he was stocking a stream at his camp and only 1 of our club showed up to help.he wanted those trout to be SECRET cause he had family coming first day.i was writing down the spots he stocked......
he wanted it that way.he made statement to my friend, IF I EVER CATCH SPROUL ALONG CREEK I WILL THROW BOOK AT HIM..
i called state rep then to inform him that this warden said this.did no good, he watched me in boat with binoiculars trying to see if i was drinking beer in boat. it was 7up cans when he opened my cooler.he them said i did not put the license on my hat facing right way so he could see it. did not know license had to be facing a certain way to see the trout stamp. he did not write me up ,only HARRASsED ME .
again, never had trouble with WCO but did with fish warden for such a little thig as knowing where he stocked fish .
i guess i would be mad also if i had my HONEY HOLES discovered too..
take care SPROUL
