Seems like this thread and alot of others here like to get people all defensive. Do you even have a boat SBC?
Did you forget that those "brave men in blue who are trained professionals" will stop you for a plate light out, expired inspection sticker or registration? Are those "safety" items? Of course not, but to put it bluntly, they will give your "trained professional" reason to pull you over and stick his nose in your car and then ask you for license and registration, which he is probably hoping is under suspension so he can arrest you, at the same time sniffing you and your car for odor of booze or pot, as he visually scans the interior for signs of any contraband that will give him reason to bust you.

As far as ragging an officer because he or she is a teenager, why don't you let yourself be heard by the NH Police Standards and Training Council? They have determined that an 18 year old can be trained to be a cop, or as you put it, "a trained professional." That 18 year old would put himself in between you and a bullet if he had to. That is part of his job, keeping you "safe."

Age bias such as you have exhibited is against the law in employment situations and in extremely poor taste on the street.
