Fact is, this happend to me and confused the hell out of me. Much easier to look back and try to figure out just what went down then in the then present time when one has chaotic things happening to them.
EC at times when wierd and strange stuff is happening one has no time to sit and rationally go over what is happening, It may take a week or a few years of thought to pull all the pieces together. Things stay in a file in the back of the brain until a news article or news program opens the file and then one says ---OH Shit so that was what was going on.------- sort of wondering why at times we are blind to things under our nose and later find, OH YES I remember that.
Vesta, a little forethought, and you too can be smarter than the average drug dope.
When I put in my video to the local PD, I went down to the police station to do it.
I brought only a copy of the video with me, leaving the original and another copy locked up in separate - off site - safe places.
When I finally had a detective receive the disc, I sat down with him because he was damned sure going to have questions about what he was seeing. I also got his business card with his name and badge number, and a case number on it when I transferred custody of the video to him. This allows you to follow up with his supervisor if you don't hear back on it, or gives you a point of reference in case the detective/officer gets hit by the beer truck on the way home from work that night and things start heading for cracks to fall through.
See? Not that hard at all...
