Frank had a television talk show. On the program, he complained about an incident in which state trooper Anderson had stopped his car, apparently for lack of a proper license plate and safety sticker. Frank explained that the license plate had been stolen and the sticker fallen onto the dashboard, but Anderson refused to let him drive away. Frank and his sick wife had to find other transportation. On the show, Frank angrily recounted the incident, then described Anderson and troopers generally: "we're not paying them to be bullies"; "this man is an absolute bully, a freak, and a bigtime looser."
