In other news, I was browsing through some other pd's blogs today and realized that some pd's are having to take down their sites because people (mucky-mucks, I am guessing) are discovering their work and getting nervous. I didn't get a chance to read the sites that were taken down, so who knows what they were saying, but I can't imagine that they were much different from mine, which, nine times out of ten, runs along these lines:
- everyone else is ignorant
- i am humbled by my lack of legal knowledge/trial skill
- today i subjected myself to public humiliation
- today i subjected someone else to public humiliation (and enjoyed it)
- i am shocked by the sheltered stupidity of people who should know better
- i am shocked by my own sheltered stupidity
- i cannot understand my role in society
- cops/judges/prosecutors make me angry
- i feel guilty for judging cops/judges/prosecutors
- i feel more justifiably angry than guilty about my attitude re: c/j/p
- i believe the system could afford to show people a lot more respect at every stage of their case and incarceration/"rehabilitation"
- i hope i'm not an idealistic fool
In my opinion, the above-listed things are simple facts of my working life, and I can't see what's wrong with reporting them. I try not to name names, or say things that will allow crazy, bored people to deduce who I might be talking about, but something about having to take down a perfectly good pd-blog really chaps my hide. We are so few, why should we be forced to shut up?
Boooo. Booooooo on that. Kudos to everyone who posted stuff that was so true that it made people nervous, though! That's squarely within the best of the pd traditions.
I hope to keep posting what I see, and I hope that I post a whole lotta sh*t that makes the enforcers want to shut me down!
