Believe me if you will, but when I read the title of your post,
I instinctively KNEW you were talking about the People's
Republic of MD! God, but I hate this State and most of the
people who run it (ruin it?). If I didn't have family here and
own property here, I'd drop this place like it was a diseased
rabbit.

I'm not at all surprised by your misadventure. The sheer, pre-
sumptuous arrogance of the MD State Police and the
Montgomery County Police beggar description. One can only hope
that Karma truly does exist; if so, those people are in deep
kim chi.
