Calling the police stupid for responding appropriately to a frantic phone call about a potential bomb in a public place, just goes to how who the real "stupid" person is. They did what they are paid to do which is to serve and protect.
If you are so worried, then get your own lawyer although if you are charged, I'd imagine that the courts will appoint a lawyer to you (at least they do in the tv shows lol.)
We have been questioned by our local bike cops because they saw us veer off the bike path into the bushes and wanted to know what we were up to. We've also had cachers searching for one of our caches in a popular downtown park questioned by police. They only want to know if illegal activity is going on. Once it is explained what is going on, the cops are satisfied and move on. Most police departments are teaching their members about geocaching, what a geocache is and what it can look like and how shady cachers tend to look when they are hunting for a geocache in the bushes lol.
Guess you did not read our last post!! There are many caches located on guardrails around the country. Matter of fact have been to quite a few. So I guess everyone that has placed one on a guardrail is stupid. oops!
