Comes with the territory of being in random trouble over the years.
Hopefully, they can help. Police are not entitled to anything because they are police. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Jurisdiction and entitlement are two different things. As a former Federal Agent (lowliest of its kind), I know that as we are sworn into duty, we relinquish all rights as an American in exchange for service to the people. As such, we are entitled to authority of our jurisdictions, and constant service to the people, not whatever that cop was on about.
So, contact the DA at least and proceed from there.
