    I have a friend in law enforcement who is fond of stating that the Almighty loves idiots- he made a lot of them.

    I have a friend in law enforcement as well. He calls this "job security".

    I am contemplating a career move towards being a "boy in blue". I can only imagine the stupidity I may witness.

    You will witness things that absolutely boggle the mind....

    Fer instance...

    I get called out to home because an older couple(late 50s early 60s)want to file a formal complaint about a young, female Parolee, who they had allowed to live with them for a brief time. They stated that the Parolee had stolen from them, and threatened them with physical violence, all because they wouldn't purchase illegal drugs from the Parolee's boyfriend, whom they allege to be a drug dealer.

    I'm standing there writing this information down, when the female complainant states that she's not a drug addict, just more of a recreational drug user, and only occasionally. At which point she turns to the table in the entryway, pulls out the drawer, and as she's pointing inside says, "See, I've had this quarter bag of marijuana for over two weeks, and it's not even half gone. I couldn't even begin to tell you when I bought the hashish it's been so long ago"

    So, trying to keep a straight face, I finish taking her complaint against the Parolee, have her sign it, then politely ask her to turn around and place her hands behind her back. The whole time, she argues that she's not an addict, just a recreational user, why is she being arrested?

    Job security indeed! It doesn't matter what age, what ethnicity, what socio-economic background, or what part of the country, stupid people will be abundant, and their own stupidity will make your job both easier, and more complicated(more paperwork ), but if you have the calling, it's a great life
