Dear Hellrider:
I am so disappointed, and truly sorry to tell you that I spoke to my cop-acquaintance this afternoon and relayed your story to him. He proceeded to tell me that there was nothing to be done about the situation. Basically, your glove WAS a weapon in their minds and in the rule-books. The fact that they confiscated it without persuing anything meant that apparently, they did YOU a favour - had they written anything up, it would've gone through dispatch, and they could have hauled you downtown under arrest. He said this way they just confiscated the WEAPON, and let you off without you getting in a heap of trouble. I tried to plead your case, but dude had attitude about it...then informed me that the glove was most likely destroyed without filing any paperwork to SAVE you. (??????) That was that...I told him you were just a great guy who liked to represent his metal appreciation in his clothing and style and wouldn't hurt a fly...but it all fell on deaf ears. I was so pissed it wasn't funny. Needless to say, I'm not going to bother calling on him if I ever need help for ANYTHING. But I am going to start carrying around my knitting needles, just to see what happens, since THEY can be seen as WEAPONS also, probably even more dangerous than a spiked glove. So very very sorry, my friend...thought I could help, but struck out big time and now have less faith in the system than I did before. People just suck moose jizz bigtime. Thought he'd have been more understanding or helpful, but dude and his posse appear to have their nuts in a vice of prolific stupidity the likes of which I've never seen or heard. Don't loose the faith though, and don't stop being the awesome metal defender that you are. Again...so so sorry.
