Personal experience of police wasting tax payers money

[formercactusboy]

I have found that law enforcement officers wold rather you stay in your vehicle. Getting out before you are asked to is most likley considered to be 'an aggressive move.' These officers don't know if you have a weapon or not but if you act in an aggressive way the best thing for them to assume is that you do have a weapon.

Also from the posts I have seen here on HB that are authored by Cactusg___ I find it hard to believe that his comments were polite rather that sarcastic and basically uncalled for in the situation described.

Next time around park your car close to the girls door, leave it running, walk her to the door and say good night, go back to your car and go home.

Law enforcement officers have their lives on the line every minute they are on duty. In the last two years South Dakota has lost four officers who were in the line of duty. Every chance I get I let them know that they are appreciated.

You get what you give w/ me....be it on HB or in real life. The vast majority of time I'll even give benefit of the doubt the first time and ignore it.

and I wasn't pulled over. They weren't even walking up to my car when I opened the door. If I got out or waited in my car had no affect on what happened.

cops dont like you to get out of the car when they pull up behind you. you said you saw them coming and got out. a minor issue, but you should know its not something they like.

i bet the cop has the same attitude: that you get what you give. he probably thought you were being an a$$ and that is why he gave it back to you.

I've never understood the cases in which people are charged with crimes for recording police. In most cases, unless the person is actually interfering with the officer or is in somehow in danger or endangering someone else I think its ridiculous. I seem to remember some case in which someone was arrested (Baltimore area I think) simply for taping another person's arrest as it was somehow against a municipal law...and another one in which a man was recording police from his front lawn and was bothered...I know that's all anecdotal but still. Kind of dumb.

yeah, cactusboyOG is the same poster who had a similar problem with police a few years ago when they gave him a speeding ticket. he set up a court date (even after admitting he was speeding) and ended up being extremely unprepared. he felt like the cop had no right to give him a ticket and he claimed the cop was a d!(k even though he was not. a lot of times people don't realize when they are being rude to someone, especially when they're insisting they did nothin wrong. just sayin

if you went into the encounter with the "i'm doing nothing wrong" despite you admitting you parked like one of those a-holes in the big trucks who think they can park anywhere...i doubt you were just some polite dude getting treated poorly by the police. i also doubt they were called to your location because you were illegally parked. someone probably saw a vehicle in the parking lot that was left running and for sum reason thought it was suspicious. or perhaps there had been burglaries in that area and a resident called when they thought u were casing the area when you said you couldnt find somewhere to park, and perhaps that resident became suspicious when they saw u drive up on a curb and no resident get out of the vehicle.

when the cops contact you, change up your attitude. instead of always having the "but i did NOTHING WRONG!" attitude, u at the very least were parked up on the curb. a simple "my bad, i couldnt find a spot and i was in a hurry, i'll move it" probably would have made for a more pleasant counter.

LOL What was your name on HP and why did you change it to my name on HP?

You know the cop wasn't a d!(k? Funny because after court he talked to me and apologized for how he acted. and how wasn't I prepared for the case? I got he cop to admit the speed he estimatd for me could have been wrong because he had to speed up to pace me. The judge simply choose to uphold the ticket anyway. I wasn't sure what speed I was going at..it could have been over the limit, but I knew it wasn't as fast as the cop said.

no offense, but i doubt that happened. the way you roll, you would have definitely brought that up.

The real question is has there been any followup dates or did the cop thing scare her off?

The cops eneded up being great wing men. Because I had said I had some drinks earlier in the night they made me stay with her instead of leave.

Which again makes it confusing as if to why they didn't at least give me a field test.

Not to you, but if anyone thinks I could be a d!(k, wise a$$, loud mouth, etc...ask someone that knows me first hand. At least HP/M peopel can. Ask Red Phoenix, Nems, or Sonuva.

i absolutely think you can be those things, because we all can be. and interacting amongst friends at a tailgate is not the same as being contacted or approached by cops.

yeah anyone should have the right to video tape anyone IMO, if its in a public place. you should be able to record a cop definitely.

It is dumb. They arrest you for it through a sort of loop hole. In some states it's illegal to record audio w/out the consent of boht parties. That law is meant for telephone calls. THey use this as a way to stop people from video taping them...because most record audio too. THe police should stop doing this ASAP because it's only going to lead to them looking petty, bad, and afraid of accountablilty. It's a horrible PR move for them to do this.

 

[formercactusboy]

i think every department should have dashcams. but that would probably cost tax payers some mula.

I think all police officers should wear helmets with cameras and motion capture suits to track all of their movements...they also shouldn't carry firearms or hand cuffs and their sirens should sound like gay guys moaning like they do in France.

I've been around RP in a lot more settings that tailgaiting. He may not know 100%, but he'd have a lot better feel than anyone here.

If you don't like a law lobby to have it changed. That's what the USA is all about.
