Les, It's been fun debating with you, but I am walking out the door right now. Going out of town for the weekend (yet another luxury going to work provides). Maybe we can continue some other time. Have a great weekend, Brent PS I am in my 20's.

>>> In the nicer areas, you're given more of the benefit of the doubt when some infraction occurs. More important than the number of police is the response time. <<< They keep just enough cops in those areas to make sure criminals go somwhere else, whatever number that takes. As to benefit of the doubt and the level of service, I've lived in bad bad neighborhoods in LA (Boyle Heights, east Hollywood) and I've lived in Brentwood. I can tell you from experience that the tone one gets from police, and the 'service level', is far better in a 'good' neighborhood. One seldom gets ones skull beaten in over a traffic offense in Brentwood. Whereas one can seldom get a burglary investigated in South Central. It is my ambition, having escaped from poorer neighborhoods, not to go back. The level of police service is certainly one good reason, and I sure don't resent being part of a heavily taxed class to obtain this different treatment and attention to my needs. In fact the perception that you may be a member of such a taxpaying class is your best protection when in the hands of the police. Chaz
