My Police Rant

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
there are many things you could do :D most of which i will not suggest as i did abit of time for allot of them ...

If you are seriously injured, which it seems you are as you stated you are posting in an area you normally wouldn't post your personal stuff...

My suggestion is one that i received and did not follow through with.. But it goes like this..

File a complaint. It will do no good ... BY itself.. Though if these said cops are truelly abusive of their given authority they already have a few of these on file or will get more soon.. And then they will receive upon enough complaints some sort of reprimand possibly transfer..

You will never get your REVENGE.. Because you will never hear what happened on your complaint.. They just dont hand that info out..

So if it is because you are mad because you weren't willing to take care of your pride then, then i would let it go. If it truelly is your concern to make the streets safer by being one of those people who got two bad cops out of the neighborhood then I would do it.

I decided in one incident I had just to let it go recently.. The cop was scared for his life and with just cause.. I got a ticket and he got to live. Hence we both were able to go about our daily lives gratefully.

Pride is a killer.... So I would carefully judge your motives in any action that you would take :)

The suggestion of what to do was given to me by a cop upon my most recent incident.

The police officer that pulled me over for no good reason eventually got a reprimand. Apparently, I wasn't the first to take my case to court. This officer was being over-zealous. I agree that if you use the proper channels, you can make a difference. One voter does not win an election, but enough people with the same cause will influence the outcome.
 
Just be as polite as possible and they'll more than likely leave you alone. That's how it goes around here at least.
 
Not sure how the law works over there, but in Aus, you get pulled over all the time, well I do, just because I have a 140Db Exhaust and sit right behind cops as they go 50 in 60 zones, doesn't make me a law breaker... except that exhaust limit is 99Db.

Most police don't know the car laws anyway, they just pull into the other lane, wait till I pass, then pull in right behind me and light up.

It's funny because I always get Breath tested, and since I don't drink, I pass. They do the whole we are trying to protect and save people, and the typical reply is, going under the speed limit by 10 kms is a lot more dangerous than not going the speed limit. People get frustrated and try to over take/ undertake and act foolishly while they are around marked police cars. When you are driving 50 in a 60 zone, it makes everyone else drive 45 because they are scared of driving the limit. They don’t usually make replies to that, but usually wish me a good day, They know I’m right they know people act stupid when police are around.

60 kmph = 35 miles?
50 kmph = 30 miles
 
"Get over it" would be my opinion. No offense, but by the sound of your post, you have a chip on your shoulder right from the off. You admit to speeding already and then we are meant to assume that you slowed up just before the cops pulled you?? Yeah, right. You also showed no respect at all, and then run to Daddy and your cop mate to try and bail you out. If they had roughed you up I might have some sympathy, as they didn't, just grow up bud and move on ;)
 
my brother, uncle, aunts, are cops and you cant do anything because complaints are just bull shizzo!!! they do nothing, I was even tazzed before and all that did was make them drop charges (thank god)..... the only good thing about having a relative thats a cop is when you go to court you can get out of alot of trouble.....but other then that, they dont care, dont waste your time....just change the story around when you tell your friends and make it sound like you punked the cops. That will make you feel better.
 
Yah all I can say from what I know is that if you file against them or if you were to ever take one to court... in the end 99% of the time (at leat here) they will side with the cop.

I got a bs ticket for doing 45 in a 35 when 5ish ft infront of me there is a sign for 45mph as the speed limit, to my knowledge when you see the sign you can go, according to the cop its AFTER you pass the sign you can go. Just to clarify this I asked a few other cops and they told me when you see the sign you can go, so that cop gave me bs. I was also told if I bothered to fight the ticket the judge would side with him so its wrothless. Ontop of that when I pointed it out to the cop he tried to tell me that the sign that says 45mph is the speed limit isnt even for right there that the sign is for the speed limit 1/2mile maybe alittle more up the road and over this bridge, then you can go that. I am thinking... then wtf is the sign right there for? .. Either way the guy although annoying and a bit doucheish he did drop my ticket cost, but I still dont think I should have gotten the ticket.

Anyways I learend from that if you try to fight them they always side with the cops.
 
Its all good TG. The situation could have gotten uglier.. You could have been shot 50 times if you werent caucasian. :eek:
 
A similar thing happened to me when I was your age, TG. I used to drive this obnoxious Cal Bug (painted Ford grabber blue w/ a stinger) and would get pulled over all the time by the local police for no particular reason. (No, I certainly couldn't afford a $400 radar detector at that time although I do have a V-1 now.)

This one officer pulled me over and claimed that he had gotten a call about kids stealing street signs. He asked me if he could search my trunk. (Any idiot would know that it's damn hard to fit a street sign into the trunk of a VW Bug. The car is rear engined and has only a small storage compartment in the front that holds the spare tire and allows access to the fusebox and other wiring.) My friend who was with me told me not to let them search the trunk. I decided to take the high road and politely responded "I know I don't have to, but go ahead because I have nothing to hide." Of course, the officer found nothing but a floor jack, tire iron, and tool box in my trunk. After he was done, he thanked me for my time. In response, I asked for his badge number, which he gave me.

About a year later, I was back in town working at a job delivering pizzas during my summer break from college. I delivered a pizza to an apartment complex full of college students. Some paranoid old lady called the cops saying an Asian male driving a blue VW had broken into and entered the apartment complex. (Yes, I showed up in my blue pizza delivery shirt and prominent (and really dorky) visor w/ pizzas and left with the empty thermally insulated pizza bag, having left my hazard lights on the whole time I was there--not exactly the behavior of someone who is trying to burglarize a building without attracting any attention!) That same officer responded, remembered my car, and visited my parents, who informed him that I was at work. My mother went ballistic on the officer and accused him of harassing me and my dad threatened to talk to the Chief of Police, whom he knew personally. The officer also visited my work, who informed them that I was legitimately out on deliveries to the building in question. The next day, my dad visited the Chief of Police and learned that they had actually received a phone call from a crazy lady, but the Chief promised my dad that the officer would leave me alone from now on.

I never got pulled over again by that officer. Three years later, I ran into him while I was working a summer job at, get this, a donut shop. :ROFL:
