Cops are #$%&^$# [was :Cops That Tailgate]

You got it! I'm not black but have worked second shift and drive at 3:00am regularly and get pulled over way more than during the day. Cops will find any reason to pull you over. Boy do I feel sorry for black people in big cities, what a bunch of shit! Do cops have to have a phycological profile done before they become cops?

Boy do I feel sorry for black : people in big cities, what a bunch of shit! : Do cops have to have a phycological profile done before they become cops? We have all had our runins with the pigs! They treat everyone as though they are guilty regardless of the situation. When you need them they don't show up. When you could care less about them, they arrest you. I had some crazy drunk drugged up %^^&*%&$ show up at my front door and threatin to kill me and my wife. So I call the cops and do they give a shi*? Of course not!!! They didn't show up. I finally called them back to see what the deal was and they said they were too busy that night to help me. They need 10 cops just to pull over some innocent driver and to hel* with those truly in need of help. I now own several handguns and I will use them if necessary. Your only protection is your own protection. I really think the cops are afraid to do their job "To protect and serve". Its more like to Be a menace and give out tickets instead of risk their neck to help people.I've seen more cops pulling people over, myself included, and heard of more cases like my own where they don't show up when a citizen is in need. Maybe taking the law into our own hands is not such a bad idea!!! VIGALANTE

Hello I was pulled over because one my tail lights were out. I was driving a jeep with the top off and the from shield down. My eyes were red and the lady cop asked me if I was drinking? I said 'NO', I am just going home. She gave me the choice of blowing into the machine or 'getting charged'! So I did what any self-respected man would do, I blew. I had nothing to fear because I hadn't had any drinks, so I blew 'GREEN'. I said well, what is it going to be? She asked me to blow one more time. That is when we ran into a problem. The law requires me to blow once, I guess she didn't trust the machine because she was sure I was drunk. I refused and I told her that I blew once and that is it. She put me in the cruiser and radioed for assistance. Another cruiser showed up in 60 sec or so, a tall cop got out and and they talked for 30 sec or so, he then came over opened the door and asked me to get out. He said: Sir, I beleive you are over the limit hence I am going to ask you to (you know the drill). They were playing it smart, she could not force me to blow again but another cop could because he was under the suspicion that I was drunk. This way they ran me through one more time. I blew green again on his machine and got mouthy after that. I told the stupid women that my eyes were red due to the wind and not ***. She says she knows about that because she has had brothers that rode motorcycles. I said 'Yeah right, you knew that'. To cut it short I walked away with a tail-light ticket. Female cops are the worst and I this is based on my experience and it is a fact, whether the women like it or not. Talk about *** harassment. Zareh

Today, the police have an automatic excuse to pull over anyone they want on any Interstate in the northeast with a 55 speed limit. EVERYONE drives over the 55 limit, so the police can profile any qroup they want and they simply pull anyone in that group over on the speeding pretetxt. -- Cheers, --------------------------------------------------------------- VTR Assistant Magazine Editor, Past VTR President (1983-1990) ARRL Local Government Liason, Mount Olive Township -----------------------------------------------------------------------

>We have all had our runins with the pigs! They treat everyone as though >they are guilty regardless of the situation. Oh, do they? I was pulled over in the City of Rochester in a '71 Duster I'd just bought - I was driving it home. The inspection had expired (I hadn't noticed). The officer politely asked for license and reg, asked where I was coming from and where I was going. I explained that I'd just bought the car, showed him the signed-over reg and the bill of sale. "OK," he said, "you're inspections out. Just get that taken care of before you drive the car again." Then he complimented the car and let me off on my merry way. The only ticket I ever got was for a broken headlight, but I was nice, after all, the headlight was broken, and I did know about it. The cop also gave me a form giving me 24 hours to get it fixed and get any cop to sign. I put the new headlight in, got the form signed, and was done with it. Yes, it was a bit of an annoyance - but lets face it, the officer was right. -- 1995 Dodge Neon 1969 Dodge Polara 1996 Epson Stylus Color II printer "Anyone who drives slower than you is an idiot; anyone who drives faster than you is a maniac." - George Carlin (paraphrased)

: >We have all had our runins with the pigs!

Seriously, I have never been pulled over or checked and NOT given a ticket. My statements may have been a bit strong, but I'm very pissed off with the way I have been treated. I also realize that not all cops are bad cops, but some of them worry me though. A similar situation but with a different end: I was driving my 1967 Plymouth Barracuda, which at the time had glasspacks on it, and was stopped for careless driving. The cop said he saw me racing the car and almost completely lose control coming around a corner. Funny thing, the roads were very icy that nite and I did hit a slick spot coming around a corner but I barley even slid into the other lane which did not have any traffic at the time, and got things back in controll instantly. Have you ever tried driving a built up big block with a high speed stall converter and a posi-track rearend around an icy corner? I would not have driven the car at all but my normal everyday driver (1972 Dart) was previously demolished by some idiot that ran a stopsign and hit me, and I was too young to get a loner from the insurance company. That's another story!! So anyway, he ticketed me for careless driving. I know that because the car was on the loud side from the glass packs, and a bit overbuilt for icy streats that it probably looked to him that I was racing. I've been accused of that several times just sitting at an idle. The only place I ever reced that car was at the local drag strip and at a long straight street out in the middle of nowhere that has been used for dragracing a-lot. I admit I may have broke the speeding law on occasions but not any different than someone in a pinto might. I'd be careful if I were you, your turn is probably just around the corner.

Of course, he'd just smoked the tires... Dunno if they'll go after me...the Duster in question was a Slant Six, and the Polara's got a little 318...so I should be able to putter on undetected. :) -- 1995 Dodge Neon 1969 Dodge Polara 1996 Epson Stylus Color II printer "Anyone who drives slower than you is an idiot; anyone who drives faster than you is a maniac." - George Carlin (paraphrased)

Here's me driving my father's Mercedes-Benz 560SEL home from a wedding, it's night, top's down, I'm young-looking in a tux, listening to 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' from Ministry. Got pulled over for, (head scratch) weaving, I think. Funny- the last beer (of the three I had) was about seven hours ago. After reciting the alphabet from 'X' down, with one leg in the air, I decided never to drive the car again in that goddamn town....
