Intelligence and reasoning abounds in this thread.

 

That's interesting to hear. I had an undercover detective pull me over for 'accelerating too excessively'. I didn't get a ticket and wasn't accelerating too quickly (in relation to how the G accelerates). He was bent out of shape and just sent me on my way...after the lesson of course. With cops having this much time on their hands, I'm guessing it's time for a tax cut for us.

 

I've dealt with cool cops and not so cool cops.

Cool cop: Gave me a warning for speeding

Not so cool cop: Gave me a ticket w/max fine 12 points and possible jail time for "failing to stop for a pedestrian" in a crosswalk. But when I say failing to stop, you probably think that I either killed them or at least cut in front of them.... you wouldn't think that I let them cross and went after they cleared my lane. (BTW law states they have to clear the lane not the entire crosswalk)

 

Wow, now that's original. I have to give you props on that.

 

I admit I sound a little harsh, but I've had a lot of bad experiences with cops both on duty and off duty and I'm typically a law abidding citizen.

 

Even tho there are some ego maniac cops out there MOST of them are people like you and me EXCEPT for one HUGE difference...they are putting thier life at risk everytime they go on a call or pull someone over. CUT THEM SOME SLACK!

I've been pulled over by some jerks and i was super nice and they came around. BUT mostly they were all stand up people.

The hate and stupidity flowing from this thread is dsigusting....it really makes me wonder why i am posting on the same board as these small minded people!!

=(

 

Sarcasm is utterly lost on some people. Usually those people with about as high an IQ as a used ashtray.

You fit so many descriptive bills Mr MBentley. Unfortunately with your intelligence level and given the fact that you can't understand the signature, if I were to explain them all it would be like teaching the theory of relativity to a Kindergartener. Oh and by the way my five year old understood my signature.

Let me get this straight, you hate cops because you can slip by an off duty one with a fake badge? This is priceless.

Your hostility level is through the roof. I suggest that instead of browsing this forum you go to an adult site and relieve yourself. I think it'd do you good.

 

Um, dude. If you look a bit further up you'll see that I gave you props on the sig. I'll leave your attack on my "lack" of intelligence alone since I did attack you first. I didn't say I hate cops b/c of the badge thing. I'm simply stating that the ones here at my work are useless. Yes I do have a lot of hostility towards cops but my reasons are justified.

I would like to say that for the most part they're putting their jobs on the line to keep us safe. I've just had some very bad experiences. Now I'm off to www.S&M.com to release some of this aggression.

 

Well the sig is not entirely my idea. However it's origins do fit not only my line of work but a little of my personality.

At any rate MBentley, here's an olive branch. I do have an interesting story about an encounter with a Charleston SC cop during my college days. I'll leave that to another thread.

 

Most cops are A$$HOLES! Screw whatever authority they think they have.

 

Most of these comments make me feel like I'm browsing a Honda Civic forum. Are most of you guys 16-17 or something?

 

ive been pulled over when i wasnt speeding too. the officer stayed in his vehicle and gave all his commands to me over his megaphone. he wanted to see driver's lic, registration, etc. i got it ready. he sounded pissed. he came up to my car and took a look at all of it. he walked back a moment later and handed it all back to me. i put it all back and when I turned back he was gone. he never gave me any explanation or gave me the opportunity to ask or say anything.

 

If they say they paced you, they don't have it on the gun so they don't have to show you. It seems like all my tickets are paced somehow. Actually you can not cus out a cop, I tried this, the ticket for that was "inobedience to a police officer". I'm not direspectful towards cops, there have just been a couple situations where I wont have someone disrespect me, especially if its not necessary.

 

got a cop story here a good one, just protecting and serving the public.......
A friend and I are traveling from OK to FL in a rental...My friend is driving in Mississippi me in the passenger, now I looked unshaven, grizzley.cop following us for about three four miles changing lanes with us and everything, friend getting nervious, I told him don't worry we haven't done anything wrong......lights go on after five miles cop, comes over and asks for my friends ID as well as mine.....my friend asks him why you pull us over, cop says 'you following to close.' Whatever.........second cop shows up, my friend goes to the rear of the car, second cop comes to my window, asks me to get out.......takes me to the front, asks me 20 questions....I tell him I understand what you are doing, you are cooroberating our stories...(in my mind: profiling)..he leaves me in the front of the car and goes to make sure that my friend said the same thing..........he then lets us go.........Overall doing their duty, just happy they didn't give us a ticket for looking like terrorist

 

I respect cops, but don't like them. I grew up in the infamous Rampart district of California. Just to give you a hint as to what I went through growing up. I was kickin it with a friend (Teacher) and her son. He was playing his music a little loud. Nothing to loud though. She was pregnant and the manager came out with a machete towards the apartment. Can you guess how long it took the Cops to come out?

I have had some cool cops pull me over before, but this thread was meant for people to vent, IMHO. Excuse the ignorant comments and take in as much as you can and let the rest go. Not worth responding to.
