There had been an attack on a couple of kids, and everyone was sensitive. The guy started the car and drove away, forcing one of the cops to jump out of the way. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and whatever else they could think of. Public outrage ensued, and all charges were dropped, identification being a big deal. Well, our hero was running down a street through a deserted area being cleared for a freeway. He had about 998 illegal dexedrine tablets on him, having taken two. Along comes a cop, in a marked car, lights and all, driving the other way. He stops and asks our hero if he has any identification. Feeling bulletproof with the help of generous portions of alcohol and speed he replies, "Yes, do you?" The cop rudely, without any apology, slams our hero against the side of his car. And all at one our hero remembers the speed, and get's super polite. The cop runs the ID, gets "two gun sales, one FIR (Field Interrogation Report), clear" and turns him loose without searching him. You'd think there would be a lesson there.
