This policeman is being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial.... the lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's credibility.

<font color="red"> Q: Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene? </font>
A: No sir, but I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender running several blocks away.

<font color="red"> Q: Officer, who provided this description? </font>
A: The officer who responded to the scene.

<font color="red"> Q: A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers? </font>
A: Yes sir, with my life.

<font color="red"> Q: With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a locker room in the police station - a room where you change your clothes in preparation for you daily duties? </font>
A: Yes sir, we do.

<font color="red"> Q: And do you have a locker in that room? </font>
A: Yes sir, I do.

<font color="red"> Q: And do you have a lock on your locker? </font>
A: Yes sir.

<font color="red"> Q: Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those same officers? </font>
A: You see sir, we share the building with a court complex, and sometimes <font color="red"> lawyers </font> have been known to walk through that room.
