This really bolsters my confidence in local politics. That is, my confidence was always of the same type. Poor.

That's ok one of the current candidates for govenor in MI got me taken off of patrol duty when I was in Grand Rapids. I responded to an alarm at a building (the guys name is on the building) where there is a bank on the first floor. I arrive this guy is walking around the front lobby (2am) I stop him ask for ID and he refuses I call GRPD they show up start apoligizing to the guy and after he leaves, explain to me who he was. Ooops He complains to my company and they took me off the road for 90 days. Kinda upset me seeing as I was doing my job. Was never rude.

Sounds like a really swell-headed guy. He got you demoted and nearly fired because you didn't know who he was. Sheesh.

Heh. We did remote survelience once. The operations manager had this elaborate call sign system for clients. I called the client business after watching three men enter. The owner picks up, I ask him for the call sign, and he goes, "Oh, your from that f-ing security company. I'm the g- d- owner, this is my building, don't call me when I come in!"

I called the police department. They sent 10 cars.

Was it actually the owner or was it a criminal suspect?

Oh, it was the owner. Just the fact that he blew it off, Saint Petersburg Police didn't like the way it sounded and sent a ton of cars. The place was a limo joint. You can imagine why they were... concerned. Lots of money, lots of hummers to steal, etc. Better to head em off before it turns into a stretch Hummer H1 pursuit.

Courtney Love was really peeved when one of my Officers didn't know who she was when she stayed at one of my hotels

Sounds like a classic case of a snooty client with a case of prejudice toward his own security and toward the cops too. I wonder what kind of contraband he may have had with him.
