You never should ask for one to do ANYTHING for you ever in your life then. If you get ripped off, can't call the cops. Get in a car accident. Can't call the cops.Originally posted by: davepbrooks
god i fvcking hate cops
You're an idiot.
cops and highway patrol are just too much bullshit oriented to make me believe they're doing more good than harm, sherrifs i dont have a problem with because they're too busy with real calls to hastle the average joe for bullshit
All right :: opening a can :: My wife's been a cop for 12 years now. There are no "quotas" police have to keep (you're thinking of meter maids....they have to find a minimum number of parking violations per day). If you're doing something that's against the law, they need to enforce it. What you're suggesting is that while they're telling you to turn down your thrash metal, there's a rape victim laying at the curb waiting for help or something. First, there's more than one officer on duty at a time, so the critical calls are being taken care of (trust me). If there's no calls and they're on patrol, they're supposed to look for the minor violations because that's their job....to uphold the law. Second, you're suggesting that if what you're doing is illegal but minor, it should be overlooked. WHY HAVE A LAW IF IT'S NOT ENFORCED????? 99/100 times, if you did something minor and you're nice about it, they'll let you go with a warning. If you're being a jerk and a smart ass, they'll bust you for everything they can find on you to show you who's in charge. From your posts, it sounds like you frequently go down the smart ass route. The wife tells me stories all the time about "I pulled a guy over for a broken tail light. I was just going to tell him it was out and tell him he needs to get it fixed. He started calling me a "b!tch" and telling me to go harass someone else. He wouldn't shut up, so I cited him for the tail light, not having a muffler, and had his car towed due to a cracked windshield. He ended up having warrants for not showing up at court, so he was also arrested. If he was nice, he would have went home that night."
Bottom line, they're doing their job, you're doing something wrong. Get it?
