In the Line of Duty

Just a bit of work about our "boys in blue."

"Hello, sir"

we have all said, 

once or twice; when

a cop walks up

to our car.

"Hello," He 

usually says

back in a stoic

and stuffy way.

But then it all

starts to go wrong,

with the asking of

unimportant

and nosy questions.

"Why is your

window not all 

the way down?"

"Because I can

hear you fine."

It goes back and forth,

like this for a while

until I am

detained and

hassled by

others like him,

while they

violate my 

inalienable rights

to privacy.

And for no 

real reason

other than 

my window

not being

down all 

the way.

All at a check point,

originally for drunks.
