Did exactly what any LE would do in a situation with a suspect. They build empathy, try to establish trust, dig further, establish more trust, dig further... In the end if he found an animal in your vehicle you would have been cited. And no telling what else... If you watch even the most basic cops show, the tactics are the same. I have been fortunate to be friends with officers growing up. Most are nice, but the training is to uphold the law, whether they agree to it or not.
I am glad he was polite to you. But make no mistake, in there eyes, we "Reptile Enthusiasts" are criminals. No different than any other.
I am sorry to hear about your experience this year. It falls in line with many other experiences that are ruining West Texas.
Take Care,
StevenX
