94. Not that I understand your point as there are several words that don't make any sense.
Of course there are azzhat cops - just as there are more then plenty azzhat people who are not cops. What do you think? That cops are a separate and totally removed cross section of society?? How many azzhat construction guys, dentists, store clerks, (name the occupation) have you ever had a run in with?
Jeez! Get real people!!! I've been stopped before - just like many of you. Even though I'm an LEO, I don't like it either. So what is the point of all these threads.
Oh! I get it - quityoursniveling and get on with life!

"Don't be so smug buddy..." that's precious coming from a guy that calls me "son".
"Real life examples"....just so you know, a house can't be robbed. Burglarized, yes, robbed, no.
The drinking and driving...you don't have to justify your actions to me. Relax, I didn't say you were drunk driving.
The one thing I'm most curious about...how did the cop trick you into not having your insurance document in the truck?
And since your so keen on paying attention...it's S-H-E-P-H-E-R-D just like at the top of this post.

I think the point of these threads is that some people feel they are being unfairly targeted by police. A lot of states use temp tags - the OP clearly stated he had temp tags on the truck. I don't know WHY people keep saying, "You didn't have any license plates and that's why you got pulled over."
And WHY do people get upset when someone complains that they got pulled over for doing 45 in a 40? It's asinine. NO ONE should get pulled over for speeding less than 5mph. In almost every state, you can't even get a ticket for going that much over.
If you can't give someone a ticket for the infraction you're pulling them over for, then don't pull them over. Same thing with the 'obscured tags' post from yesterday.

whats the purpose of my post? i just had something on my mind i needed to get out. alot of people here vent, useless, meaningless posts. whether what we vent about is right or wrong, its just something we do as humans when we have no one around to whine to.
does it seem like ALOT of posts about police lately? even Geraldo ( i cant stand the guy ) had a show on last night about police shootings. seems we are in the blame the police trend again, since there isnt much else in the news.
so, about my rant, sorry. its winter, im stuck indoors more than i like to be, etc etc and i just typed to get some weight off my shoulders.

Hey TOUGH...
I say, "Let 'er rip"!
Vent away....
It's all good, we all do it. We're a community and we *should* be supporting each other. At least, that's how I see it. I think most folks here would agree.

You can probably get a ticket for picking your nose in public. But what judge in their right mind is going to find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of going one mph over the speed limit?

Yea. After we bought our van. Not 10 miles fromt he dealership. We get pulled over and ticketed for no vehicle registration> it got thrown out when we went to court about it.
Everybody ive ever know. A few of them cops. They always say. go with the flow. If theres a couple of cars around you going 5mph over. Do it. Otherwise it would slow the flow of traffic. Now if theres a couple of people doing 5mph over and 2 going 10 over. Slow back to 5mph over and let them pikc off the speeders.
And generally on highway driving. Even if your speediing. Theyll let you go aslong as you arnt driving like a maniac. That is not true however if your going through hulbert, Oklahoma. If you fart na dit makes the car go 0.00000000001 mph over the speedlimit. Thats a 120.00 fine.
