My buddy is a cop. They are just people like us. Problem is a lot of them let their personality control their job performance.scupking said:Ok, why was my cops thread closed? It was a thread for people to voice opinions/experiences they had with cops, good or bad. Can't people voice there opinions, is that too much to ask? I think we all can handle an intelligent conversation. Nothing was wrong with the cops thread if you ask me. I'm not trying to tell you how to run SN but come on mods gives us a little freedom this is America or did Bush take over SN?

Oh yeah! I guy I work with drives an 01 cobra/forged block with a procharger putting down 600rwhp. Another has a 650rwhp stroked ss camaro with single turbo. Quite a few guys running kb's, vortech's and turbo's on their cars. Mycar is slow compared to many of the guys here.stangGT97 said:crazy man!

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....
Well the bad thing there is they do not have to follow the laws. Now if something happened to your family member and they had to drive the speed limit to their house you would say "why didnt they get there quicker." Also do you know that most major criminals are caught on routine traffic stops. And that is also where the most officers are killed. A trooper in NY was just killed because of he pulled over a car where the occupants just robbed a bank and was shot and killed.GitDat said:Just like all of the cops I see pull all of this same stuff and more on almost a daily basis. Common sense says.. if you want people to respect you and the traffic laws you're trying to enforce, try following them and abiding by ALL of them yourself. Do as I say, not as I doPeople are watching. Lead by example.
I really hate to disappoint you, and you probably will NOT believe me, but I do not change lanes without signals (unless it's to cut off someone that did it to me) and I have probably rolled through a total of 5 or 6 stop signs in life. I take the extra time to make sure my car bucks back at a stop sign to ensure that I stopped all the way. As for the yellow lines, not unless it is an accident. I do not pass in no-passing zones. Most of the laws I break are not accidental, like speeding and rapid acceleration.caship said: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....

We should abide by law, as we are not above it. I do allow 10mph over the speed limit on the hwy/it's only 50-60mph tops here..., to slow, but I personally do not believe 70mph is too fast on the hwy. Some guys allow more or less, it just depends on the officer. Is that breaking the law by speeding, yeah, but its not unreasonable. I treat EVERYONE with respect, as even criminals will respect u more if u do. Anyway, Ive posted enuf on this subject and everyone has FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Remember, there are way more good cops than bad and the bad ones will get caught up in something that they cant get out of, eventually. Dont be afraid to make complaints either if u were mistreated by one.GitDat said:Umm..I'm not talking about when they're in pursuit. I'm talking about when they're just driving around patrolling. They're not exempt from traffic laws.
Whose gonna give the cop a ticket for speeding in the patrol carGitDat said:Umm..I'm not talking about when they're in pursuit. I'm talking about when they're just driving around patrolling. They're not exempt from traffic laws.
