About Me
- Gus
- Columbia, South Carolina, United States
- In 2014 I moved to Columbia, S.C., after living in Woodstock, Illinois, for 18 years. My lifelong traffic crusade led to an appearance on ABC's The View in June 1999 and two invitations to appear on Court TV followed. I ran for McHenry County (Ill.) Sheriff in the November 2010 General Election and came in Third with 5% of the vote. That’s the one and only time I’ve ever run for public office. As a practicing hypnotherapist, I have a unique practice, providing sessions to clients in the comfort of their own homes.

I guess it is fair to say most of your readers are cops.
Why wouldn't a cop be ticketed if s/he caused an accident?
Do the voters who visit your site believe LE is above the law?
I come from a family of LE.(not in mchenry co) I voted in your poll.
Sitting around at an extended family dinner a few nights ago, I brought this subject up. It was ALMOST comical to my family. They strongly disagreed with most of your readers to say the least. Am I missing something?
Another Lawyer- I would love to hear your opinion on this subject!
QT, thanks for your comment (and for reading).
