This is Things Police See, first-hand accounts, with your host, Steve Gold.

Welcome to the podcast, the interviews, acting, retired police officers, both their most intense, bizarre, and sometimes humorous moments on the Jorb.

It is I, old ginger face, here with you as always.

I apologize to the audience that watches on YouTube.

I did get a new YouTube,

not new YouTube, but a new webcam. And it's much clearer. And I look much older. And you can

definitely see my gingery skin. See that. See all my, all my errors. So I don't know if it was

good decision, but I got it. I got it. Guys, thank you for being here.

Thank you for all the listening and downloading of the back catalog that's going on. I truly appreciate that. Like I said, no credit to myself. It's all the men and women law enforcement

who come on here and tell their real life, true stories, unedited, how they live them, so we can

gain a better appreciation for what it is they actually do on the job this

episode will be no different i have a 30-year member of the minneapolis police department he's

retired now he worked patrol training criminal investigations and internal affairs retired 2018 as a

lieutenant he's now a licensed attorney in Minnesota.

He's worked as a prosecutor for Hennepin County, law enforcement instructor for 13 years at the

Hennepin Technical College teaching constitutional law and criminal procedure as well as ethics

and communications. Without further ado, let me bring on the great Scott Zierden.

Scott. How you doing, Steve? I'm good, brother. Thank you for looking good and sounding good. Well, I appreciate that. And I don't know about the great Scott Zierden, but I do appreciate the entry. You are, man. Yeah, so like we were saying before, a lot of times when I have coppers on, and God love them,

I still, I still want everybody to come on. But a lot of times there's a lot of technical stuff

that we have to deal with. You have the headphones. You have the camera. We're good to go. You're an attorney at law. So let me ask you this. Have you ever worked for the dark side? well I'm assuming you mean the defense yes and, of course. And no, I have not.

I spent only a year as a prosecutor, but I've been doing it.

And I took a leave of absence for a year at the 20 year mark to work for Hampton County.
