I get there as little as possible. Mid 70's I believe

As always some were good, some were beyond being called A**H***. Once I was listed and when told the date of occurrence I just shook my head. Got the copy of the line up for that day to prove it was my day off. Another time 75 year old lady made a accusation and did not go far. My Sgt asked me about her and the incident I said she was a very nice person and no problem at all. Had no idea what she was talking about. IAD had her come in and it turned out she admitted I was very kind but made the complaint trying to get out of the ticket. The only one that was correct was my language once towards a suspect. She accused me of lying while showing her the evidence and I had a few words. Been on the PD like 23 years then with no substantiated complaint. When I went to IAD for my statement I just admitted yep, I said the F word. Now let me get back to work and stop wasting everyone's time. All that would be done is a bad boy letter in my file and would be the end of that. IAD officer looked at me and said but, but, why? Officer told me the woman had to be asked 2 times to leave the office before they could get any kind of statement from her. You don't get into a lot of trouble for doing something stupid, you get into trouble lying about it. Now once an officer I worked with the PD was trying to get rid of him and made what we all knew as false accusations against him. IAD went so far as to break into his house looking for some evidence to get their hands on and of course got caught. The officer was no dummy and expected as much would happen. Well, of course he filed one heck of a very large law suit against the PD and settled out of court for a very large settlement in the 7 figure range. And that was back in the 80's. So there you go, just a few stories I know. Some good, some very bad.

Sometimes while flying in the police chopper to take crime scene photos the camera would accidentally go off. Don't know how, just did. VERY OLD PHOTOS One of the Kansas City, Mo. skyline looking North. The other somehow took a photo of President Harry Truman's house in the center. The 4 lane road is Truman Road, of course, and where you see the Eastbound vehicle next to it is the Secret Service Home for the protection guard. Some secret How did the chopper end up over Independence, Mo. you ask. Well strong winds

When your ticket is punched, it's punched and nothing you can do about it.

It's a lot of fun and cool to recognize streets from the air. I was up once to take crime scene photos. Ya had to stand on the skid to take the photos with the doors off. . Anyway call came out requesting the chopper. Pilot looked at me and I said let's go. Was a car chase and I kept ground crews advised where the vehicle was going on what streets. When the dummy baled I kept an eye on him and directed the officers where he was hiding. Great feeling when they nabbed the guy.

This is what I used several years ago. I converted my old films including some 110's. It did some wonderful jobs on mine and was satisfied. If you would be interested in it let me know. I have transferred everything I have and don't need it any longer. https://www.hammacher.com/product/large-screen-slide-and-negative-converter?promo=search&query=ty86729#
