theweaselking[SCENE: A police station. A MAN is walking in. He seems agitated. He moves to speak to the OFFICER ON DUTY.]
MAN: I would like to file a formal complaint about one of your detectives!
OFFICER: Very well, why is that?
MAN: He came to my house late at night. He was rude and abusive towards me, he barged in without permission and without a warrant, and wouldn't leave when asked to do so.
OFFICER: We can't act without proof, since it's your word against his. Do you have any proof?
MAN: Yes, this videotape, from the home security cameras which are clearly visible, only record the inside of my apartment, have warning signs posted around the place, and about which I specifically told the officer, clearly shows the entire incident!
OFFICER: You're under arrest for recording a police officer committing a crime, without his permission!

They need their rumps kicked from here to next June.
