I was at a private event, few people knew about. I was not invited. I was standing at the sidewalk on public property watching the people get dropped off, walking past the sidewalk which had a red carpet, then into the event. I was being paparazzi taking photographs of everyone, figuring I would figure out later who they were.

An officer I think a high ranking one, at least a Sargent, came up and asked for my name, he then asked to see my drivers license.

I cheerfully complied he thanked me and handed them back. That was it. I got some great photos of some basketball superstars.

A lawyer I knew told me when he was starting out, he did speeding tickets. He said they came in two flavors, speeding ticket and speeding ticket with resisting arrest. He said many times with the second kind his interview was in the hospital.

He said it is very important with police officers to pass the attitude test.

I have always remembered that.
