And as I pointed out in my original post I don't think it matters that I am an LEO in this situation, but trying to use my LEO job as a way to calm them down and explain to them the legality of what I was doing and how they could do it too...obviously it didn't get that far.

I am a transplant, not by choice because I was very young when we came here. But my family moved here for what Colorado is and the culture here and left the shitty culture behind because they wanted nothing to do with it.
