Glad you were PD I have no issues with that. The police chief here was my landlord for a few years and was nothing but cool.
I think I could safely wager that you never had contact with a person with the sole intent of instituting a fine for revenue.
(suppose it is possible if they were being penalized by the town council or something and you were just serving paperwork)
No point running in a town the size of Carbondale LoL, only 3 ways out and they all just go to the next town where an officer would be waiting...
