It gets old hearing these stories. I just will never be able to understand people like that. Good move on calling the law. A lot of people feel like they shouldn't bother the law with things like this or think the law is to busy to help. While that may be true to some degrees, it doesn't hurt to get a report on file and follow up with the officer/deputy. If you stay respectful and patient, most of the law will try to work with you as much as their resources will allow.
