Photo Line-up at PD

So my photo line-up was today. I went to the police station, got my visitor's pass to wear around my neck. Note that the Seattle U.S. Attorney's Office has very similar visitors passes to the local PD. I sat in the waiting room for awhile while officer S was in his afternoon briefing.

He took me into what is normally an interrogation room I think. He told me so as not to taint my opinion that the suspect may or may not be the person I saw and that he may or may not be in the pictures I was to be shown. He then showed me 6 pictures. I was pretty sure when he put number 3 down that it was number 3 but he said to look at the rest. I said it was number 3 or he wasn't in the photos I was given.

Then he writes out what I am saying then I signed it and then he revealed that after one month or more I was able to pick the perp! He was number 3! Sweet.

This actually concluded their investigation.

I do believe I have gained some kharma for this because I was pulled over today for expired tabs and could not produce proof of my insurance, and the officer gave me a warning and let me leave. I avoided a $600 ticket!

Deceptive Advertising

We went to see Click, the new Adam Sandler movie last night. In the trailers it looks to be a light-hearted Adam Sandler typed movie. It was really sad and mostly depressing. I feel ripped off by the advertising. I am out 19.50 on movie tickets and will likely need therapy for the clinical depression I am now suffering as a result of the film. Is there someone out there who would take my case? *grin*

Called for a photo line up

Well it happened I was called to come in for a photo line up for the hit and run I witnessed. I am going in Thursday, I will post more when its done!

Holidays

Why is it that holidays and holiday vacations are less fun and more stress than your average weekend?
