Reply #3: Yeap. Problem is that the cops always have "connections". I doubt he will see prison-time at all...

the police call it professional courtesy, and it extends from letting fellow police officers walk on excessive speeding (Above 15 MPH over the limit) and even driving while intoxicated (DUI) to making concessions for a "person", like this who allows an 8 year old to use a machine gun.

I speak of this from personal knowledge, over the course of many years.

Yeap, flash the "badge" and things that were illegal for "Joe Schmo", magically "disappear".

Best magic trick I ever have witnessed, so far on this planet.
