Here's a question then... if a guy is trying to race you, and you roll down the window and ask him if he's a cop, and he says "NO" (but really is a cop), is that entrapment? Because you're doing something you wouldnt normally do(i.e. race a police officer).
If it's any consolation... Once you're arrested the police are NOT allowed to promise you any compensation or favors in order to induce you to give up your rights, whether the promise is genuine or not.
I'm no legal expert either (I took just enough law courses to make me dangerousim not trying to be a know it all, but im just curious now
Q: How many Chicago police officers does it take to push a suspect down the stairs?LOL...since this thread has turned into legal-mythbusters...they're not allowed to hit you either, even though you saw it in The Usual Suspects.
You sound like a moron yourself.
I know every time I've ridden with a cop, it was the patrolman's job to raid methlabs and enforce our immigration laws.
Let's not forget the fact that the lowly, unappreciated patrolmen don't get paid nearly enough for what they do, and they don't get to pick their jobs.
Hmmm, let me tell you a story. Here in E-burg, specifically near campus where I reside, there are FOUR law enforcement agencies that "patrol" the area: CWU police, E-burg PD, State'rs, and Sherrifs. Yet, somehow, in this microscopic college town, TWENTY FOUR vehicles were hit by vandals in one night last fall, mine one of them. Guess what? None of them (pigs) saw anything, surprise surprise. Maybe its becuase they're at Starbucks 8 hours a day. The ******* cop that took my statement had the audacity to blame the recent explosion of crime on the 'sudden population growth' exceeding public policy's ability to hire more officers. It doesnt require the penetrating insight of a mathematician to come to the conclusion that that is the lamest excuse for the sorry-ass performance of the pigs around here. The very least he could have said is the truth, "Yeah, we don't really give a **** about the hundreds of cars that get vandalized every year in this tiny little ****hole town, so piss off ya little punk, its time for my 20th break of the day and another latte. See ya next time." Unnapreciated? Hell yes. Overpaid? Thats an overstatement.
When I fish tailed it around the corner. he immediatly came after me but not with his lights
This is the part you guys arguing for entrapment are missing. He did somthing to bring the cop to him.
EXCUSE ME if I don't have any patience for lazy, overpaid slugs that sit around and do no good in my community.
Actually, I'm no "college kid" at 26 yrs old.
but to say I deserve to get my car F'd with, thats just not right, and its certainly not what any true, red-blooded, hard working American would say to another.
And there should have been an officer posted 24 hours a day to catch the retard who did it.
Guess what? None of them (pigs) saw anything, surprise surprise.
I have to admit, it is hard to communicate with people of average intelligence at times... .
Hey, I can understand why they dont care. We are, for the most part, a bunch of spoiled teenagers and mommy and daddy will pay for everything. But I am not. And when the city officer looks at me straight in the face whilst taking the report and says "there's nothing we can do about this type of activity", I am going to get pretty infuriated, because he is implying that I should not put faith in them to protect me and my property. It is their job to do something about it. Campus police had the same attitude when I interviewed them soon after. A little shrug of the shoulders and a "Sorry, there's nothing we can do, it happens every quarter, usually after break". Just a little effort on their behalf is too much it seems.
What's more amazing is that he expects the theives to do it in front of the cops.
One time I was inside a copcar for 12 hours straight and didn't see a single person run a redlight the whole time. This is in Orlando!!! I bet I could go to the closest stoplight right now and see it within 2 minutes if there's no cop around.
LOL...it's a life lesson; life sucks, suck it up and get over it.
My friend had an expensive camera stolen. The cop took the report and told him the same thing. But my friend didn't get mad. It's pretty much common sense that some crimes are not worth the resources required to solve them. They take the SN# and hope it shows up at some pawn shop, but it more than likely won't. What else would you want them to do?
