Oh Pshaw.

Dad had seven siblings. Grams was one of nine. Not a single soul among them all and their offsprings and wives and sisters and cousins and aunts were arrested and have a record. No one needed to hire a decent or indecent lawyer. Had some speeders but no folks arrested.

I have lived on this earth for 80 years. We have dozens and dozens of family. Some are not the epitome of wonderful but they managed to avoid getting arrested, losing their job because of being arrested and worrying about a lawyer. I think that The Villages is full of people who have a similar experience.

DO NOT BLAME LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ENFORCING THE LAW.

And if you aren't going to speak kindly about them don't call them cops. We know what you really say.
