The situation is this: Fireman are a service needed when you need help, same with the EMS. Everybody's happy when the fireman comes rushing to your aid, but when you get pulled over by a cop, he or she is automatically a cynical beast out for nothing but blood. Remember, this is their job... They get paid money to do things most people would not like to do. I have a Bachelors in Criminal Justice and can speak from experience. Yes, as with every profession there are exceptions and bad officers, however, it is very rare. Do a ride along with your local law enforcement agency at some point, I guarantee you will change your mind.
Well put. Insulting public service personnel is completely ignorant.fox1x said:Hmmmm, it seems like everybody hates/dislikes the cops until they need their help.

I heard from a cop that was in a class of mine that insulting a police officer was a federal offense.4u2nv said:Well put. Insulting public service personnel is completely ignorant.
Not sure of the validity on this, but it definitely earns zero brownie points when under law enforcement scrutiny.topless98gt said:I heard from a cop that was in a class of mine that insulting a police officer was a federal offense.
1st off, I guess I pay my own salary as well cause uncle sam takes a crap load from me as well as uncle state. I bust my butt everyday and hate it when people say "I help pay your salary"! What does that mean...people dont think we pay taxes, I WISH, as I would net 90k (ot/55k reg salary)a year instead of grossing it. Ive have to damn near shoot several people over stupid things and have been in more fights than some MMA guys...and not by choice, but because people dont like being arrested.kstang69 said:ha safety...its not b/c of just a few of them it b/c they pull you over and then you pay his salary, that is why people dont like them, more reasons tho, and i admit some are okay, but i would never ever chose to be a cop
NOT! If that was the case, half of America would be in prison...Oh yeah I love mustangs and many other sports cars. Heck, those are the ones I give breaks to...Hahaha.topless98gt said:I heard from a cop that was in a class of mine that insulting a police officer was a federal offense.
kstang69 said:not just mustang people that have this prob. if i was in my untinted, no exhaust say accord(family car) i would still have the same prob with cops tailing me for no reason and flying past with out lights on etc.

A M E N!!!!!!!!!caship said:Not a federal offense.... most cops say that so they can stop taking abuse. If I had a dime for everytime someone said :
I am going to take your badge
I am going to have your job
If you didn't have that badge on I would kick you ass
What gives you the right
I'll kill you (or add on the ever popular I will kill your whole familly)
Why don't you go arrest a real criminal
You tend to want to put the fear of something major into them.
caship said:Everytime I read this I have to laugh.... just because you are off work and ditty bopping home does not mean that the cop is too. Because of angry citizens complaining about when cops run code... most cops now are only able to run code to Murder, Serious traffic accidents, rape, armed robbery. So when you see a cop flying without his lights on .... more than likely... he is headed to a call he feels is important even if policy says he can't run with lights and sirens.
As for them pulling up behind you then passing you at a high rate of speed.... well more than likely you are either being paced or see above description.
You don't pay my salary... you pay taxes. The city, county and state pay my salary.... If you use that statement try it on your trash man one day.... I pay your salary... you will take my extra trash... good luck see where that gets you.
We all have fast cars.... we all break the law hundreds of times a day.... when you dive home from work today... you will do at least 10 traffic violations on your trip....
You will change lanes without signal, cross solid yellow lines, roll thru stop signs and so on.... think of all the things you have got away with.... and you cry the one time you get pulled over....
Guys who hate the cops.... are mad because they got caught... most people will never get pulled over... ever. A flashy car draws attention.... you bought that car to draw attention... sometimes you get it from places you don't want... sorry about your luck.
Irony is: if you didn't have that badge, you wouldn't be called there. People are so stupid they would say anything to piss off a cop to show they are toughercaship said:If I had a dime for everytime someone said :

WillDuhhBeast said:The biggest annoyance to me personally is when a cop is on the highway and you are going the MAX speed limit in the fast lane on cruise control.. they tail you for 20 seconds then pass by at about 20 mph faster than whats posted. One night in particular he spot lighted me the whole time passing by me.. and it just gets to me that these things happen when good citizens are doing the RIGHT thing. But we are in an inconvienance of the "almighty" attitude SO many cops carry around with them.
Lucky..., I wish we had that here in HI. At least I get to use my car for work.PULMEOVR said:In Canada it is a criminal offence to swear or "verbally assault" a police officer. It is referred to as "assault police" and is an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada (I can't think of the section off-hand). It is a charge that isn't laid too often, but it is there to protect us.
