I hate cops

[Scottydoggs]

I've been pulled over dozens and dozens of times. It's funny how mutual respect, honestly and knowing I was breaking the law usually got me let go w/o a ticket. I'm thankful for the 99% of law enforcement that does their underpaid, unappreciated job day in and out. The bad 1% exists because people are people.

A title/thread like this say to me you broke the law and got penalized for it. If that's the case..you probably deserved what you got.

Hell.. I have been pulled over so many times, I know that officers like my SOP for being pulled over

1. Pull over, don't dick around.. you know you are caught. Aim for a place that is safe for the officer when they are out of the car.
2. Put the car in park and take foot off brake. This signals you aren't aiming to run or cause a problem.
3. If night, flip on the interior lights.
4. Put the insides of your wrists on the top of the steering wheel in plain sight.
5. Sit still and give the officer a chance to run the plate and come to the window. Don't move beyond looking in the mirror/watching him approach. You don't need your registration or insurance etc. They haven't asked you for it. Moving around doesn't save time, it puts the cop on alert because you coudl be a dangerous person, they don't know you.
6. Once at the window, put it down if it was up.
7. "Good morning/day/evening, officer"
8. Tell the truth, Cops hear every excuse in the book. I told probably 50 cops I was doing 50+ in a 30-35 zone. When they ask why "trying to make time....get home.. get sleep.. " whatever the actual reason was.
9. Once they've run your info and are letting you go. A have a good day/night, thank you etc are good. Afterall, I was breaking the law and they aren't penalizing me for paying their salary to enforce said laws.
10. As soon as the cop flips around and heads the other way.. get right back up to speed.

i agree with everything except for the under paid part, cops around here make 50 grand a year to start, thats over paid in my book, and it only goes up from there, in 20 years they get more then they started out making in a pension, hows that over paid? they make to damn much for sitting in a car all day writing tickets.

and 90% of cops that i know personally are dick bags who got bullied in HS, now they take it out on the public, so yes most are just pu$sys who got beat up as a kid. now they have a badge and a gun.

Good times.

As a result, 40 per cent of the force took home more than $100,000 last year. Crime may not pay. But in Windsor, fighting it sure does.

Across the river, Detroit’s highest-paid police officer—aside from the chief—took home US$53,000 last year, and probably had a much tougher job. With a violent crime rate five times the national average, Detroit in 2012 retained—for a fourth year running—its dubious title as America’s most dangerous city. Detroit’s chief of police earned $97,697, or less than half the $205,000 pocketed by Windsor chief Albert Frederick (which was about the same as Raymond Kelly earned as the police commissioner of New York City, one of the largest and busiest police forces in the world).
