Dear Aislynn:

A police officer has the power to give you a ticket that will cost you hundreds of dollars and make you go to traffic school; they have handcuffs to put on you if you and take you to jail! And they have a deadly weapon… so, yes, I can understand being scared of police officers. i do too. Now in the U.S they turn on the lights and sirens only when they are going after someone. When I was in Israel I got scared out of my wits every time I saw a police car because they have the lights and sirens ALL THE TIME.
