When I was 20 I thought most cops were halfway decent and used some common sense. 25 years later they'd be Nazis if they could get away with it. Now, how is it a 45-year-old that once had a positive opinion about cops, has now done a complete 180? |

It has gone both ways for me regarding cops. However, it is not my responsibility to give them evidence. It is not against the law to not cooperate with them, only to lie to them. I also do not have to give up my rights. Have evidence I am DUI/DWI, arrest me, plain and simple. I will gladly do a breathalyzer test at the station, but I would never do a roadside test. PERIOD!!!! It is designed to make you fail. My sister got pulled over, she had a handmade tequila bottle that was bone dry. The only reason she did not get arrested was because she did not have the alcohol smell on her breathe. The judge threw out the open container tickets and all others related to the incident. And BTW, I have voluntarily cooperated when I have been witness to crimes. That doesn't mean I have to cooperate when they have no evidence against me and are trying to come up with anything to get me. Yes, it is a conspiracy, and had you bothered to pay attention to the asset foreiture laws and how they have been/are being abused, you would see that as an institution, the coppers only want more green. |

I think a lot of it has to do with gas prices. Most cities and states have to keep those patrol cars on the road, mowers cutting grass, paving the streets, running the firetrucks etc. So how do they come up with enough cash to offset the increase in the price of fuel? I think one of our local mayors said it this way: ' just write every f*ckin ticket you can, if I see you without someone pulled over, yer fard '

I think Ab is over the line, but I can understand his frustration so i'm not judging him. I've also been mad enough at a cop to wish him dead before. I respect cops, but I feel the ones who hide all day long and just wait on speeders to come by, need to get a real job. If you are out protecting innocent people's lives and arresting drug dealers, murderers, etc., yes, you are an everyday hero. But if you spend your day writing speeding tickets and harassing people b/c of the type car they drive, skin color, gender, etc. please find a new career and leave us innocent people alone.

And speaking of Georgia-- my son (19) got 14 tickets from one rinky dink town near our home. Met with the Chief who threw them all out. Once on a stop, scum cop threatened to shoot my son! Since this was video and audio recorded ( blues were on) the Chief had no option but to fire the pos. Cops are mostly uneducated unskilled bullies. AB- is over the line-- yes. I got a ticket on hwy 16 to Savannah many years ago-- GSP. Pulled my Mercedes out of line and wrote me. I also asked for the radar reading and was told "I've already reset it). Here in Georgia they put the Counties of resisdence on the plate so the cops know if you might come back to dispute the summons. 115.00 later it was paid.

They skirt around the 4th amendment by declaring that it's not "really" random. They do this by announcing on tv, radio or newspaper that they have this checkpoint set up, so technically, you "can" avoid them... and if you had the dumb luck of not seeing their notice, they will consider your stop voluntary, and if you refuse, that's probable cause. Remember, time and time again, the courts have stated that it is NOT the police's job to protect you. Keep that .45 close! |

Thanks God for Alabama, we can carry guns without a permit as long as it is exposed(yes, like the old west). If you need a concealed gun, permits cost $20 as long as you don't have any arrest record.
That being said, nobody does. Most just have it concealed |

WOW!!
There sure a bunch of POlice haters out there. It's dern sad that almost ALL ofmum are undereducated bullees. Yall be careful outthar cuz ya never no when one ofum might stop ya fer duin nutin rong... because, no one ever speeds in a Viper and it must be the same for anyone driving a high profile car, all laws obeyed to the letter. After 28 years in law enforcement I have seen complete asses on both sides of the badge. Not to be specific, but, there are some I have met from other states that would not pass filling out an application in California. When I was in uniform, making traffic stops, it was the attitude of the driver that dictated how things moved along. If "I" stopped a vehicle it was because they did something wrong. I issued as many warnings as tickets, if the attitude came out, well, the Calif. Vehicle Code is very thick. I have read on this board many times about guys getting pulled over for "nothing", not to say that it does not happen, bullsh@!. I usually let most of the comments slide, but, when you hear morons like AB, well he is right about one thing, counted as an ignorant fool. Must be a perfect driver, only stopped for "no reason". I was very happy when I moved on to a different assignment, oh, buy the way, the ones that came right out and said sorry, you caught me, I was being stupid, etc. usually received a warning. My last five years on the job was narcotics, a year of that undercover. At least in that world you know who the bad guys are. It's not like walking up on a car at 2:30 am, that you stopped for speed and find out later that would be his sixth dui. You find out later because your vest stopped three 45 cal slugs. This happened to a friend of mine who thought that working dope was too dangerous. He left the job, said there were to many morons out there, how right he is. One last thing, Bandit118th, I guess I must fall into that uneducated unskilled department also. I have only two years of college, how did I ever get buy. I retired at 53, I have no debt, our properties are paid for, accept for the ones that shouldn't be, we have a stock portfolio in the seven figures, must just be luck. Ya'll have fun out there working. Randy |
