Dear group;Because a law enforcement official is *only doing what he's told to do* or is just *following orders* doesn't lend credence to the discussion at all, in fact it's determental to the cause of all LEOs. Stating that police officers are simply following orders is placing them in the same class as military soldiers and this is exactly what a free society does NOT want to happen! Even the most green private in the US military is able to immediately discern the difference between lawful and unlawful orders. If I were in law enforcement and my supervisor me that I had to write a citation for EVERY violation which I witnessed, I would then immediately become suspicious as to the motives of such a tactic. It's obvious that this particular group of LEOs wishes to send out a message to offroaders and one must ask themself what is the message? Surely, the police chief must realize that his organization will NOT be viewed as serious LEOs who wish to uphold societys' values, rather he must have realized from the very outset that the only thing this tactic can possibly accomplish is to sow hatred and dissension of LEOs among the offroading society. Perhaps they wish to close this area to offroaders and they are using the exorbanant amount of citations as proof that offroaders are lawless brethen who are bent on destroying public lands and are a drain on society as a whole. So the argument that the LEOs in question are *only doing their job* is not a valid one. IMHO, the LEOs in question can more than adaquately perform their sworn function and act in the capacity of responsible LEOs without having to resort such low tactics as *ticket lines*.Your friend;LAMAR
