The problem is the PEOPLE of the community. This is tipical of any small or big town, Officals think they can do anything they want, One person speaks out and gets drug over the coals. No one else cares because its not them and they don't want to make waves.
What needs to happen in ALL communities, is a department set up, and paid for by all, that looks into these things for all citizens of that community. Goes after the government officals and hold everyone accountable.
Anyone that works for any kind of govenment agency or even a large corperation can not speek out when they see something wrong because they will loose there job.
The cop should have done one of several things,
1. just let the guy go, The cop knew who he was, and letting someone off because of who they are is done all the time.
2. Called for a County Cop to handle the arrest.
3. Give the guy a warnning and file all the paperwork with the county or even state.
4. persent the problem in an open forum night at there selectmen meeting, (bring a tape recorder)
Ya got to feel for these guys but, if you smack the lion you may get bit.
