        Dear sir,

        I visited your web site

              http://www.middlesexsheriff.org/

        and took note that your motto is:

              Professionalism, Respect, Fairness, Integrity

        Perhaps you can explain why your staff does not really practice
        any part of your motto.  I present to you one of your staff members.
        I had just pulled in for some shopping when he parks a well
        marked public vehicle in a fire lane.

        You may click the pictures to get the full size image.

        Carefully examine the arrogance in his face.
        Please distribute this web link to his co-workers so he can be shamed
        into not repeating this behaviour.  If you don't, I certainly will.

        I would like to know the name of this individual who refused to
        identify himself.  Clearly, he was not professional in his behaviour
        and he did not respect any laws about parking on fire lanes while
        fetching his coffee.  He stated that he did not see a problem.
        He exhibited all the classical symptoms of arrogance.

        Is it the policy of your office to allow such parking?  If not,
        then tell me explicitly why a senior member of your staff parked
        there knowing full well he was violating laws?  What will his
        penalty be, if any?  A harsh letter of reprimand? 


                                        Sincerely yours,



                                        Harold J. Wolfe
